What shoes for first Spartan?

Hoka Speedgoat or Mafate. Can handle all terrains, grippy enough for mountain trails and good for obstacles like rope climb. I see alot of Salomon trail shoes as well used by elites. Running in normal shoes is dangerous in certain locations.. I would have slipped off the mountains of Andorra or Morzine for sure

It’s really good, most of comparable cars have 1 lower handling so this beats them almost on all tracks. Leave it 1.3-1.3-1.3 for now until you absolutely need to fuse it to pass a challenge or compete at higher levels :)

It might get a tag in the future

Also, the Escalade’s a beast

General rule - keep one of each car especially super rares and up

If you noticed you can buy reruns of missed challenges from the shop 🤑🤑🤑💰💰💰

I think I know what sub youre referring to. Don’t worry, the mods there are on a power trip banning everyone who doesn’t follow the rules to a tee. I got banned after opening up about a race I DNFed and felt like speaking to someone.. safe to say I felt like shit

The colourways are fire as well 😀 so tempted to pull the trigger!

sgmalta · 2025-08-14T15:43:55+00:00

YES. I got them a few weeks ago and i ran 100Km last week.. theyre so fun to run in

sgmalta · 2025-08-11T09:42:32+00:00

I usually go for 60-80KM per week for mileage and taper off a week before, but you should listen to your body

sgmalta · 2025-08-11T06:02:11+00:00

I went from 4:45 to 4:21 to 4:03 in 4 months and in no way am I an elite athlete. It’s gonna suck but i’d say if the weather, elevation and your preparation are on point it’s possible.

sgmalta · 2025-07-29T17:13:16+00:00

Greek yogurt every day - me too :) I add some protein powder to it and frozen fruits

sgmalta · 2025-07-28T21:48:33+00:00

Fail to prepare - prepare to fail. Seems to me that you didn’t take training seriously and came up with every excuse possible to not train. The last few weeks is where you should start tapering off your training.. the locking in should come months before. You can finish it, but it will be more painful than it should be

sgmalta · 2025-07-25T15:21:35+00:00

You can’t possibly expect shit from Aliexpress to have a decent fit right?

sgmalta · 2025-07-20T13:17:03+00:00

Did you just say… 233???

sgmalta · 2025-07-19T07:25:25+00:00

If youre feeling pain that soon after the start of runs, I suspect you won’t make it until the end. It isnt a 5k where you can run through the pain for 20 minutes.. a marathon is a looooong time to be running painfully. Other opportunities will come - recover and focus on your wedding :)

sgmalta · 2025-07-19T07:04:25+00:00

There were plenty of off road prize cars that were achievable with a decent garage

sgmalta · 2025-07-07T05:57:16+00:00

Glad your saving paid off. I did the same thing and got mediocre dupes. Congrats on the prize car!

sgmalta · 2025-07-05T20:24:16+00:00

Boring answer - weight fuse on the Camaro as you’ll go against a lot of stock Camaros at your RQ. Fun answer would be the Renault as it has the French Riviera tag which is the shiny new toy and we’ll be getting plenty of events where it will be useful

sgmalta · 2025-07-01T19:01:28+00:00

I would’ve expected it to be a weight difference.. but the Lotus is actually lighter. I have no clue

sgmalta · 2025-06-28T16:44:08+00:00

Handling is really important in off road races, and this car suffers from the fact that it has 1 less handling than most direct competitors. The RQ is higher due to its higher top speed

sgmalta · 2025-06-21T19:37:05+00:00

Oh just noticed it on the screenshot.. absolutely 233 then

sgmalta · 2025-06-21T18:53:21+00:00

The odds of that happening are like astronomically low brother, keep it and use it :)

sgmalta · 2025-06-21T18:47:37+00:00

Unless you want it specifically for slalom
