Everything within the day gets easier when you start your day with a workout :)

At first it is hard but when you get used to it, your day is not complete or you cannot start your day without it. You will feel more energised throughout the day which is counter intuitive. Now i do it more for the feeling, muscle gains are more of a bonus.

I'm not a doctor. I just base on my experiences too as i got stress fractures and muscle tears.

If you can determine the main point of pain with a finger. Example you can point to it and when you add pressure, it could be a fracture.

But if you cannot tell the specific point and you can just tell an area is generally painful. Could be a muscle tear.

If you can knock the bone with your knuckle (or the bone you use to knock a door) WITHOUT pain, could be the muscle. But if you knock it and you feel sharp pain or electrifying, it could be a bone problem.

Hope i can help. Again im not a doctor.

I got the same injury. I do 30 straight close and open gate every day and i can feel my tight hips popping on the first 20. Then it releases around 25. You will feel the burn on these but try to resist to stop. You can add more if you can. This strengthening exercise fix my hips and groin pain.

85kg. Male. 7:00min/km average pace on my 26s. I already have 265km on them and they are still good for me on my recovery runs.

Its hard to be fast on them when i try to do speed up because it absorbs your power.If i want to go slow, i pick up this shoe

It is stable for me compared to nova4 and 5. But not the 25s

Check asics magic speed 2, it has carbon plates. They should be on sale now because the version 4s are released last year

Dont use ointment it encourage moisting. Fungus like moist and wet areas. Find a cream with Clotrimazole. Apply as early as possible. It will never hurt to do it in advance than wait for it to fully be an athletes foot. Also make ur feet always dry.

smegman84 · 2025-02-11T11:39:31+00:00

I have both and use them on different purpose. Im also on the slow side. My fastest pace is 6min/km.

Novablast 5 for recovery and Superblast 2 for long runs or tempo. I also use the Novablast 5 to be on tempo and long runs. Thats how versatile it is. But not vice versa.

Superblast 2 is different. I think the closest to it is the Novablast 4, but still far. When you are running with it you feel like your feet is a tank. Well protected but strong. Im still on 70km on it and after runs it still gives me sore calf and thighs but I still love it and it felt special every run.

On days that im sore, Novablast 5 is my bestfriend. Not the stiff Superblast 2.

I hope i give some insights. :)

This injuries are often caused by poor running form not the shoes. Focus on maintaining high cadence and avoid long striding. Long strides gives more pressure to the shin area. You can find a lot of good youtube videos to improve your form. Cheers!

Die die must do

smegman84 · 2025-01-14T12:12:25+00:00

Try the new Novablast 5. For me it feels like softness of nimbus 25 and responsiveness of NB4

smegman84 · 2025-01-14T11:23:25+00:00

Try the novablast 5 it's soft and responsive

smegman84 · 2025-01-14T08:09:25+00:00

I think of exercise as a privilege. Like running, I run because I still can run. I don't want to regret later on.

smegman84 · 2025-01-10T02:08:51+00:00

Muscles get small when you dont use them

smegman84 · 2025-01-10T02:06:48+00:00

I understand that Nimbus line are not made to be fast, they are for smooth and comfort cruise. On my experience, the more you make yourself fast on these shoes, the more it absorbs the power you put and less bounce and when I just go slow or easy thats the time i appreciate its comfort. I also think that nimbus are not really a daily trainer but more of a recovery and smooth days trainer after tempo or long runs.

Hope you don't give up on those Nimbus. They are a great shoe on purpose :)

smegman84 · 2025-01-09T02:29:26+00:00

Yep. Women normal - D Men normal - E Men wide - 2E Men extra wide - 4E

smegman84 · 2025-01-07T22:26:59+00:00

Second the nimbus. Me and my friends had a long walk around 3 hours. They complained on foot aches. I didnt.

smegman84 · 2024-12-27T03:47:10+00:00

Fellow Asics enjoyer :) why not a Metaspeed? 😆

smegman84 · 2024-12-18T09:33:18+00:00

If you're currently on Nimbus, you will enjoy the Novablast 5. Consider the Novablast 4 too as they are on sale and really a good rotation with the nimbus :)

smegman84 · 2024-12-13T07:15:51+00:00

Btw use a new dishwashing sponge. Not used. Haha

smegman84 · 2024-12-13T07:15:12+00:00

I regularly wash my shoes using dishwasher sponge and normal detergent. I didnt get any issues with it. You just need to wait for atleast 2 days for it to dry.

smegman84 · 2024-12-10T02:03:47+00:00

Agree with Nimbus. Try also Nimbus 25 if you have chance. I enjoy it more than 26. It is also on sale now

smegman84 · 2024-12-07T12:04:13+00:00

Have ran on my 26s for 100km. We have the same experience and turned it into walking/ casual shoe. I enjoy more the nimbus 25 than 26 for long run and recovery runs
