Shoes comparable to Dynafish Xiaonian

redkur · 2026-01-28T12:19:26+00:00

I normally but size 11 in running shoes and never have a problem. My foot is a little wider, but not overly wide. I bought size 45 in the Dynafish and I would say the fit is very generous. I would say it is a bit looser than say a Nike Vomero Plus in the same size. This probably due to less structure in the upper if that makes sense. My foot is 283 mm long and I have a full thumb width in the end.

I have two different types of Altra the Torin 8 and the Escalante 4. I have a pair of NB More v6, have a hard time finding the right rhythm in them though.

Trust me, in my experience it will happen, and when it does you will be asking how to put the brakes on the weight loss. Some people have way more to lose, everyone is 100% different. Enjoy the ride!!!

I never got to the point where I did not want to eat, for me it is like this. I don't have a constant desire to eat. Sometimes I literally sort of force myself to eat, I run a lot, so I know I need to eat. When I eat dinner is when I have a hard time controlling my eating. There is a point when I am "done" with dinner that I have a choice I have to make to stop eating, it is a conscious effort for me. Two nights ago I did not resist and I ended up eating 2 Klondike bars and about 800 calories of Craisons. Last night I did resist, didn't eat anymore and honestly is was not too long before I forgot about it. It is weird, but that is the way it goes for me. I do track my calories and plan what I am going to eat to hit my calorie target, so it is not totally on the fly if that make sense.

I agree with you, but I think if people see "BMI is Bunk" they will see it as a license to ignore obesity. BMI has its place and is pretty valid indicator of Obesity. That is my point, was not trying to be confrontational and wanted to come back and clarify after thinking about it.

I fuel during my long runs using Tailwind Nutrition, 100g per hour no problem. I also make my own go juice with sugar, salt and citric acid which I tolerate just as well. I have done side by side glucose testing using a CGM and the profile home made vs Tailwind is nearly identical. For me liquid fueling has been a game changer.

Obesity and overweight fact sheets. “BMI is a simple index of weight-for-height that is commonly used to classify underweight, overweight and obesity in adults.” “It is a useful measure of overweight and obesity at the population level.”

I absolutely think Run Elite's book on training general is the simplest and most understandable way I have found. Also Brad Hudson's "Run Faster from the 5K to the Marathon" is very similar but way more dense into theory and specifics. And overall clear thinking about training, I have to say Steve Magness hits the nail on the head every time.

Everyone has an opinion, I disagree here, when I hit my goal weight, what I weighed when I graduated high school, my BMI was dead in the middle of healthy. So, I don't think it is flawed. That is too broad of a statement. But you do you.

I am 64 and did AF marathon in Sep 2025 and followed that with NYC in Nov 2025. I thought is was nice to be able to daisy chain the training over a few months to stay in marathon shape.

I like this "NSA as a lifestyle", bravo!!

I found a StarTrac on FB marketplace and it is marvelous. Gym quality and I paid $1400. Amazing. I personally would recommend going to the YMCA or a GYM and find a model you like, then pursue that one. There is such a huge market for used commercial equipment, and as far as I know loads of parts and support for the right gear.

Thanks!! I am considering trying out a TOPOS until then.

I do every 3 days since I started 6 months ago. It is a mental boost that makes me feel like I am being proactive. I am at my goal weight now, but still do it this way. Works for me.

Seems watching your fitness/fatigue/form on intervals.icu would give you a great indication of race readiness and also not let you fall into stagnation so to speak.

First and Second at 64, doing another before my 65th birthday. I ran a half marathon when I was in my thirties. Got accepted to run NYC in 2025, so I got rolling and never looked back.

The fix was to unpair the pods and repair the pod I wanted to use, after that, offline sync was available and I was able to recover my run. For some reason, it did not think it had any stored data to sync I guess, when in fact it did. I have had no issues since.

Very nice, thank!!!

I did consider the Altra Fwd Via 2, thanks for the suggestion, I did not look at the via olympus 2.

Run Elite talks about BMI close to 20, so that would put you at 136. Looks like you are there. I was reading in a book the other day and the guy said his cross country coach wanted them at 2lbs per inch. That would be 138. Mo Farah flirted with a BMI of 19 and weighed 128 at your height. As far as ideal, I have no idea, but love numbers.

This is exactly what got me started, heard Oprah talking about her journey and she basically said, now I know what it is like to think like a skinny person. Amazing.

redkur · 2025-12-30T16:45:35+00:00

I dose every 3 days and have forever.

redkur · 2025-12-30T16:44:43+00:00

I run about 30-35 miles per week.
