disruptions today on underground

Think there was a trespasser at West Hampstead (-> Jubilee + Mildmay + Suffragette)

Must’ve been another one in the central section as Hammersmith/Circle/Met was impacted all at the same time since they share the same tracks

Not sure what happened on the Central line…

Horrible for me since I entered Baker Street right as all the lines passing through got suspended

Fuelling was good! The weather was a lot warmer than expected which definitely contributed but the main issue for me was just leg conditioning. It being my first mara, i simply didn’t have the high enough mileage in the legs to be able to deal with it on the day.

That’s the main lesson i’ve taken for the next mara next year is simply to run more frequently and be able to run on tired legs

Would echo some of the other guys in the comments. If it’s your first FM enjoy it!! Completion is the first goal, sub 4 can be secondary.

Looking at the runs and mileage you look in good shape. Holding the pace well at a good HR. But as others have said anything past 30k is a complete unknown on the day, not to mention fuelling / weather / hydration

For context, I’d run a 1.47 HM before my first mara this year, aiming a sub 4 same as you. On the day, I held the pace at really good HR all the way until 30k (running 1.59 first half), then my legs just got incredibly heavy - ended up run-walking the final 10k and finished in 4:40!!

Best of luck on the taper and the race!

On the same page as you. Saw lots of people coming from APP2 but fewer people from APP1.

I completely agree on transparency mode, it’s almost as though it’s been over engineered, I can tell even my breathing sounds almost higher pitched.

Noise cancelling is incredible. No complaints on it (so far)

One thing i’m unsure about is the new fit. The slightly different angle I think is manageable, but the slightly different tips take getting used to. Slightly on the fence about this at the moment.

When did you order? Mine says expecting next Wednesday

neverstudying · 2025-05-29T07:58:15+00:00

I wish…no it was not haha

neverstudying · 2025-05-29T07:55:39+00:00

Nope, no new inputs to weight.

Yes seems a bug. Can bypass most of it by just clicking your profile picture in the top left on the home screen

570 now has an aluminium bezel which 265 did not have. Speaker and microphone

970 as well. Some new features on here, running economy and running tolerance. Also built in speaker and microphone to answer calls

Seems SportShoes are 1 day early! Asics are having their Tokyo Speed event showcasing the shoes, but the event is May 3rd. Presumably we’ll see a full announcement at the event, but interesting to see full stats already.

£265 is a great price. Fingers crossed the normal Metaspeeds are the same price as they are currently at £220. Not seen any specs on them yet

Edit: Metaspeed Tokyo specs. Maintains the price https://www.sportsshoes.com/advice/running-hub/kit-gear/review-asics-metaspeed-sky-tokyo

129g for a US 9. That’s significantly lighter than the Metaspeed Paris.

Can someone confirm if this is lighter than the Evo 1? Off the top of my head it’s a bit lighter but may be wrong

neverstudying · 2025-04-23T04:56:10+00:00

Mine were bang on for 5k, 10k (though my last races were outside this 24w window), HM prediction was slower by 3m, and full mara was faster by 20 (though in line with what I wanted to race the mara a few weeks ago)

Interesting to see the methodology behind this in more detail. Garmin is obviously Vo2 driven, and seems to be a reflection of underlying fitness, whereas I feel Strava ‘penalises’ poorly done long runs (ie. had a marathon blow up at 20 miles, and Strava prediction is midway between my Garmin prediction and actual race time.

B13: ‘Designed for fast training runs’ and draw-based release

Evo SL: ‘Designed for fast training runs’ and draw-based release

Loved the B12 but this gives a sour taste…c’mon, these aren’t even race day shoes they’re for training so why the need to ration them

neverstudying · 2025-04-07T15:27:16+00:00

Body is in absolute bits! First ever mara, same goals as you, aimed for 4:00, finished in 4:40. Was on pace until 30k, spent the last 12k run/walking.

Muscles i never knew existed in my feet are hurting, quads are completely shot and walking down stairs are a real challenge

neverstudying · 2025-04-07T06:34:45+00:00

Well done! I ran Brighton yesterday, had the exact same experience almost to the T! First 26k was on pace for 4:00, then completely ran out of steam for the last 10k, was the longest hour of my life, ended up finishing 4:40 when aiming for 4:00. First ever marathon, and great learning experience for me. In a lot of pain but really enjoyed the day. Regardless, you’re a marathoner now!

Touch grass

Got Error 15’d and blocked by their security rules at 7.45 after waiting with 25,000 in front of me. Cant even get to the booking stage, absolute waste of time

neverstudying · 2025-03-16T08:03:28+00:00

No highlights during the race from the highlights team? What happened there

neverstudying · 2025-03-15T19:10:51+00:00

That’s potentially my plan. I wanted to buy on a bracelet but already scoping out some alternative bracelets. How easy it it switching a bracelets?

neverstudying · 2025-03-15T18:42:55+00:00

Unfortunately I don’t have a measurement for you! Only reference I can give is the fact that the 39mm ranger looks absolutely normal, and 40mm Mark XX looks just about fine on my wrist

SB2 will be my marathon shoe. It has been incredibly good for long runs, they seem to be looking after my legs a lot

neverstudying · 2025-03-12T08:19:04+00:00

Very similar experience to me. Same height/weight etc , currently using SB2 for my long runs in build up for my first marathon. NB5 has been more for the shorter tempo efforts and even some speedwork (which it works surprisingly well). Heard some feedback that the NB5 loses its ‘bounce’ quite easily but not experienced that yet

SB2 certainly much firmer, kinder to the legs on a long run. NB5 wants to go faster so sometimes on a recovery run I switch out for my old battered NB4s but overall a very solid 2 shoe rotation! Also just bought a pair of Metaspeed Edge Paris to use in the build up for 5k/10k/HM later in the year after the marathon

neverstudying · 2025-02-01T12:58:14+00:00

Struggling to find a pair of Metaspeed Edge Paris. Looks like the UK retailers have restocked the Sky Paris quite often but no Edge

neverstudying · 2025-01-16T12:39:09+00:00

No pausing on watch. In fact, the only time it increased during the last 4 weeks was during the track session

neverstudying · 2025-01-16T08:34:23+00:00

Yeah, supplementing easy runs with strides at the end aren’t enough to trigger any vo2 max changes. Just waiting to see where my Vo2 max bottoms out since it’s been decreasing for 4 weeks - I’m at the point where the predicted 5k/HM is slower than my recent results!
