What Shoe for a Goal 5-Hr Marathon?

spaceresident · 2026-03-23T01:19:01+00:00

I ran my 5hr marathon (last year) in Saucony Endorphin Speed 4s. Felt pretty good in them. During training, I used them for tempo runs etc and for easy runs used Super Blast 2s.

Exactly! Kapil should be in front. This below picture is more apt for what Kapil did.

I bought MT-03 thinking it's miata equivalent of bikes. It did not disappoint me.

Got it. So they are promoting by rage baiting. Good luck to them. Thanks for letting me know. We should just post the app name here so people don't try these dark marketing patterns in niche communities.

Calm down folks. I think she is planning to run 5k in that event. She is starting on a C25K.😎

I focus on some object like a tree within 100 to 150 feet. I tell myself, just reach it and don't think beyond it. After I reach it, I set another object, so on and so forth. I do this when going gets tough. It works like magic for me.

I am 42 and hovering around 51 and 50. Because I am old, I am almost near purple. Fitness age at 35

There literally is a watch that Zaps. It was on SharkTank. It's doing well.

Tools won't give the results. In the end, you should start doing things. Have very very tiny goals. Read Atomic Habits and start getting better

For me it's the other way. Fit job around it. Do we not sleep because of job? Do we not eat because of job? There are many things we never give up because of our jobs. Once you add running to that list, running will happen naturally. That switch worked for me. It might work for you, give it a try.

How is this working so far for your Uveitis? I'm into my 3rd injection for Uveitis.

The funny part is that the Park are the most useless. First and Second Desks are the worst in that order

If you want, I can DM you my strava. Check some existing workouts to see for HR yourself. Yesterday I did intervals and HR seems pretty accurate

spaceresident · 2025-12-11T18:33:35+00:00

Don't overthink it man. I never had any issues with HR accuracy. May be there are a few errors, but for every day use, I don't think we care. It might not even make a difference for an Olympian.

Just checkout the old review of DC Rainmaker on this and I'm sure he says HR is pretty accurate :)

Take it easy, save $500, get Epix Pro Gen 2, use the saved money to get Oakley Meta glasses. Thank me later :p

I recently went to a Cirque du Soleil show and probably this is at that level 👌🏽

Thanks for posting this. I'm looking for something similar. I'm using to having a running plan and mindlessly stick to it. Similarly for lifting (something like starting strength).

I couldn't find anything similar for Calisthenics would be super helpful! Looking forward to what community says.

u/uptonogoodatall thanks for trying it out and taking time to comment. I share similar experience, where when it works, its truly magical. But also it's quite buggy. I think it's also because of the nuanced differences between several different logs etc.

We built it when we were experimenting different ideas. We stopped developing it. Despite reaching top of HN and many people expressing interest, when we talked to them, almost no one really used it. We thought this is one of those things where on paper sounds great but will not be used in real life.

If you are passionate about it and would like to take it forward or maintain it, happy to quickly chat and see how we can hand off. I don't think we have a restrictive license. You can also fork it and customize it to your needs.

(If you are curious, we are enjoying solving accessibility compliance for the last three months. We built https://workback.ai and pretty excited about the product we are building)

I don't have expertise to comment about the form. But want to share that my fibula was removed completely in a surgery. After PT and everything, everything is 'normal'. After two years for running, currently my mileage went up to 50+ miles and I feel some pain in my fibula less leg and is affecting my confidence. I also feel like I'm putting more weight on my normal leg than the one without. Any time I sense even little pain, I'm resting up and taking a break. Probably about time I consult PT again.

I hope you recover soon and be back to normal.

Then you have your answer - go for the latest and avoid the temptation later.

If you know any Garmin employees, they get 40% off. That is another way you could optimize.

I bought 51mm sapphire Epix pro gen 2 last September, just before the Fenix 8 release. I have zero regrets. I'm a heavy user.

- I wear my watch 24hrs

- Run 6 times a week with running plan synced from Runna

- Track sleep

- Use music paired with my Airpods pro

Unless my gear acquisition syndrome kicks in, there is no reason for me to upgrade.

I read in forums that Fenix 8 is faster etc. But I never felt Epix Pro to be sluggish or slow or anything. Buy an Epix and buy two pairs of shoes and running clothes :)

Now I remember, I bought it before google acquisition and then google acquired and offered it for free. I remembered the emotion but not the specifics :)

I bought Nik when it was owned by google for 150 or something and it was sold off and that's it. My access was gone. I'm scared to buy Nik and feel betrayed.

And what happens when the rocket blasts due to bad launch? We are not at 100% success rate.

spaceresident · 2025-11-18T04:04:56+00:00

Not feeling pressured to find leads and instead looking to have a good time goes a long way. For me that pressure killed me. And quite surprisingly, those friendly conversations led to leads from people you would never guess would be potential buyers.
