I happen to also like how the Reebok looks…

With all of this shoe talk (which I love), I’m kind of wondering how much difference an expensive versus cheap shoe makes in the grand scheme of things, I guess marginal gains etc, and much like bikes and their components!
Just to throw another shoe suggestion into the mix - I love Saucony!
Agreed…massive Saucony fan here. Have 3 different pairs of Saucony for different types of running days!
That’s a pretty good comparison- like most things, the difference becomes smaller at higher price tiers. Carbon-plated shoes are a bit of a different thing IMO, but again I guess new technology always comes at a premium and with a less established price hierarchy.
I’m a poor uni student so I’m firmly on the budget end, but thankfully I have a fairly neutral stride and I know what I like in a shoe so I can be pretty liberal with my clearance purchases. (Not to mention I have pretty large feet for a woman so they are often in my size!) Used to really like the Asics Dynaflytes, but those are becoming harder to find and I haven’t found anything that I really dig to replace them yet.
It’s annoying having a ‘favourite’ and then not being able to keep finding it - happened to me so many times!
Link or is this historic?
I’m eager to try the endorphins/endorphin pros… ive read/heard many good things.
Historic (last week)/Canadian. ![]()
OK so I’m am experienced marathon runner. Since training for a triathlon running volume obviously reduced.
When I run quicker paces I start to get a burning on the outer edge of the sole of one of my feet. Burns to a point where its almost unbearable to run on and hurts like a massive blister would afterwards but there is nothing there, no blister, no fluid build up just hard skin and residual burn. I’m wearing the same brand and size trainers I have for years, socks are decent and I’ve tried moisturiser and lube neither have helped. This is limiting my run training now and I find it hard to run anything above easy endurance paces without feeling this burning sensation.
Doesn’t effect the bike in any way.
Any suggestions?
I had a similar issue before.
In my case a change of socks did the trick.
On the shoes I have had experience that burning feel (in my case near the ball of my right foot) I now use the elite ultra light socks from feetures and they work great. There is no more weird rubbing…
If I use anything Max Cushion I will get the burning!
@Nprazeres to answer you r question on the swimming thread on my slow run pace, I come down to basically very little volume. I know I can reasonably fast for very short distances, football (soccer) field for example, but for long sustained running I never managed to build the endurance - quite frankly running isnt very entertaining unless im chasing a soccer ball like a golden retriever and then as goalie. ![]()
Not sure where you are, but Saucony has the Endorphin Speed/ Pro on sale right now in the US (120, 150 USD respectively). I ran in the Peg 37 for a while, and while I really didn’t like it (midsole was mediocre at best and blew out before 300 miles, could only get the upper/ laces like 90% right), the Endorphins matched up with the Peg really well. The Speed is frankly a fantastic shoe, nice bit of pop and I think the nylon plate is a little more forgiving for us amateurs. I wouldn’t use it for <800 meter reps on the track, but everything else up through spicier long runs it can handle really well.
let me know how you like the floatride!
I’ve fallen (yet again) off the running train, did my run streak begiinning of the year, injured and never got back really. I run once a week at most.
Yesterday, i went for a 1km run, really late at night and didnt feel like it… and the temperature was so nice and streets were so quiet that i just kept going till 6km… i guess that might be a sign that i’m ready to get back in it (in a safe manner)
I’ll go back to keeping intensity away from my runs… that approach worked for close to 3 months for me so might as well.
Might be a long shot, but does anybody else have issues with bloating in the heat? No other symptoms, but sort of feels like a bunch of gas trapped in the lower abdomen. It’s worse on some days and sometimes not an issue, so I get the sense that there’s something I’m doing that’s irritating it. (As far as I can tell it’s not menstrual cycle related.)
Thankfully it’s only killed a couple of runs to date, but damn if it doesn’t make things unpleasant sometimes. Nothing like a hot day of hill reps where the downhill recovery is even worse than the hard bit ![]()
Are you doing the Ultra?
Sorry. Yes, should have said that i’m doing the Ultra!
