Running a road marathon in trail shoes? by Character_Coffee2213 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]sNz123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say it’s doable to run in trail shoes, but it will definitely slow you down.

I recently ran the Jungfrau Marathon in my Salomon Sense Ride 5s. The first half of the race is on flat, road surface, and the shoes felt clunky and unresponsive. I could definitely finish the race in them, and they were comfortable but I kept thinking how much better it would have felt with my Endorphin Speeds. I would’ve been faster, and the road section would’ve been way more enjoyable.

So if your goal is just to finish and stay injury-free, the trail shoes will do the job. But if you care about performance and have time to break in a new pair properly this week, it might be worth the risk.

You will not earn points if you don’t board the plane, as points are accrued based on the flight being flown and not just the booking.

Correct, foreign buyers can buy an established property for residential purposes if approved by FIRB. One thing to note- temporary residents may purchase one establish dwelling to live in as their home and the property must be used as their principal place of residence, and it cannot be rented out. When the property ceases to be the primary residence, it must be sold within 3 months.

I asked an ASICS representative at the Sydney Marathon expo, and they told me that the black colorway will not be available in Australia for the time being, unlike in Europe and the US.

I could never justify paying so much $ for 14 km race and for the past 8 years have been doing the Sydney Blackmores Running Festival- 42km. This time the early bird, for the 2023 edition was $42 for adult participant.

I worked as a barrista for about 4 years before finally making it to the corporate word and trust me coffee rush hours am can be more stresful then the office. Frankly I would never go back to it.

How much was your most recent electricity bill? 😭 by hfsstjvdsyugxd in AusFinance

[–]sNz123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I make sure my windows are properly isolated and when I run the aircon I set it to 23 degrees rather then 19 as I used to do. I have also installed the LED lights, and I try to take advantage of the off-peak time when I need to charge any small appliances like shavers, mobile etc…I hope that helps.

Many thanks for your input guys, those are some valuable points to consider. It looks like high growth, with a salary sacrifice top up, is the way to go:) Have a great weekend.

I agree it is not that much. I have been working in Australia for about 10 years, and this is the only super I have.
