A continuation of the 2019 and 2020 and 2021 threads :smiley: For any running questions, sharing trial and tribulations - I’m a triathlete focussing on running so likely to be experiencing similar things to cyclists picking up running, and we have a lot of runners who’ve picked up cycling too. :m…

I always trust Asics - not much hype but have done the job for years… 1000 series if you have mild stability issues (2000 series is better but only really needed if you start running serious miles) If you are neutral the Gel Cumulus is lovely. There are lots of new brands, but their lack of history …

If you haven’t try the not that expensive plated offering from different manufacturers, that might be a starting point. I feel you when it come to how you like the shoes. I was on your same boat until recently. But then, thanks to a deep discount on Saucony endorphin pro, I’ve been spoiled forever.…

[image] Joelrivera: Strides What he said with regards to strides, which you can do several times a week in just about every run. I’d keep the 400’s/800’s/mile repeats at 5k or faster pace to once a week. Also don’t underestimate the value of adding easy miles (easy being 2 or more minutes p…

[image] Simo429: If you had to make the biggest impact (from a pretty low base) on your 5k time in 7 weeks what would you do? I would do something like this: Week 1 & 2: Slowly increase mileage. Not too much too fast. Do this for 2 weeks. As mentioned add in strides, but also do a “longer” …

Checking back in re: minimalist shoes and foot problems. After resting for months and no improvement in plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis, I started rucking with 20 lbs in minimalist shoes and wearing minimalist shoes throughout the day at work (Xero Prio’s). In 5 weeks I’m up to 4-5 hours…

Circling back to a very old post, just wanted to say thanks to everyone who gave me advice on dealing with an injury. I ended up replacing almost all of my run volume for about 4 weeks with similar bike workouts totaling around 15 hours per week. Ultimately, I was able to return to running the week…

Great result :slightly_smiling_face:
