Considering by 5K PR last week was at that pace, there is no way I could keep that up for another 2 miles.You better aim higher than my times! You're probably looking good for 30 minutes flat.Juxtatarot said:Hang 10 - Awesome job! Congrats! I have a 5 miler next week so you've given me a time to shoot for!
My 5-miler in March was at 6:16 pace. And that effing hurt.Considering by 5K PR last week was at that pace, there is no way I could keep that up for another 2 miles.You better aim higher than my times!

LOL, the smart thing to do. That statement doesn't get a lot of play in this thread, you must be new here, welcome, enjoy
I still think that's a pretty awesome time especially given the conditions. They ain't all victories but they are all learning experiences. Nice job Hang10 & congratulations on the PR!!!! Smoking fast man!
Wow Ned, given all you're going through emotionally now, well you can tell this one was for Mom. Nice job man and congratulations. Very impressive. As for the #####, whoopin' his ### and turning your nose up to him on the podium sounds like an adequate payback. Nothing like douchery to keep you sharp.Ned said:
Nice job man! Welcome to the club!!! Trails would not be my recommendation to start racing, I hate trails and they hate me
Awesome run man!!! I don't know how you guys survive in that heat and put up times like these. I'd melt like a stick of butter.
Whole lotta AWESOME in this update and very little to do with the race. Great 5k PR! The Irish might go down as my favorite comment of the year. You even have the baby kayak? Mid-Life Crisis Division, another classic. Nice job on the AG 2Y2BB
Congrat's on the distance PR! 12 is a helluva long way, keep up the good work. That belt will ad another 5 miles or so for you
Everybody goes through stages, you put on 15lbs
and still ran a 23 minute 5k, that's impressive in my book. If you focus on one thing you lose in another area, find the balance between the two and crush it! I remember your times from the marathon with Ned last year, shouldn't be a problem for you.===========================================================================================
May I just say ditto to this. Great stuff all around.Busy weekend in here, nice job guys, good to read about everyone pushing the mark!

Nice job guys, lot of motivation in this thread lately.
Wouldn't you know it, this was captured on film (that's me struggling in the water): https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=327318614064847&set=a.327318380731537.1073741909.146373652159345&type=3&theater
New Balance 1260v2 right now. Have run New Balance 1080's before those but I've come to need a stability shoe so went with the 1260's. Have a pair of Asics GT 2000's sitting on the shelf because I can't wear them, about 100 miles on them if anyone is interested
I've also got a cheap pair of Nike trail shoes that absolutely kill my feet on anything over about 6 miles because they are too small. Full disclosure I have large feet so my shoe selection is a bit limited (14 4E).
Blisters might be the result of wearing shoes that are too small (usually running shoes should be about a size larger than your normal shoes) moreso than how much cushioning they have. Since everyone's feet and running style are different, you are best getting fitted at a running store that specializes in this stuff. I recommend here.
If you had general aches and pains rather than blisters, it would be more likely that you needed more cushioning. Blisters are probably something else. Could be your socks or it could be your shoes are too small. Feet swell during runs and the longer you run, the more likely you are to chafe inside your shoes.
Some serious speed and pr crushing going on in here.Busy weekend in here, nice job guys, good to read about everyone pushing the mark!

For 99% of people, the Garmin Forerunner 10 ($130) is all you need. Doesn't have a HRM, though.
I'd try New Balance 890v2 or v3. The v3 came out not that long ago, so you might be able to find the v2 on clearance somewhere.
The 110 has a HRM right?
Interesting. I had some Achilles pain when I went from the Cascadia 7s (typical 10 mm drop) to the Hokas (huge cushioning but only 4 mm drop). Made sense to me as less drop = more stretch on the Achilles. It's part of why I run in Cascadias at least once a week, to give them a break.
I got ten in this morning too. Unfortunately it was 77 degrees witha dew point of 75. Honestly, the summer hasn't been that bad so far, with only a couple of days in which the low was 79-80. Of course we haven't reached July yet!
Pretty well. Just a couple little twinges, but nothing major. Not horribly sore afterwards, either, which is a good thing. Thanks for asking. I'm really trying to be diligent about doing my hip/core exercises and getting to yoga at least three times per week. I think that's helping.Nice job on your run this morning!
Duck, like you I had pretty significant achilles issues when I tried to go to a lower heel drop. I tried to transition into Newtons (zero drop) from ASICS Gel Nimbus (12mm) and I couldn't handle it, even going extremely slowly in the transition. I have been on a long-term quest to get into less shoe than the tank-like Nimbus's but going with the Newtons was too big of a change. I have been able to transition into the Saucony Triumph, which is an 8mm drop. I also like them because they are about a full ounce lighter than the Nimbus's, so I think i can improve my race times if I can get to the point of running marathons in them.
I switched from the Riders to Precision. Big fan of the Precision.I'd try New Balance 890v2 or v3. The v3 came out not that long ago, so you might be able to find the v2 on clearance somewhere.
Being a self-admitted "shoe whore," I think I've got 3-4 pairs of unworn v2s in my closet...
ETA: Wave Riders are going to have a lot more cushion than your Frees. If you wanna check out Mizuno, try the Wave Precision. Ran my 2:59 in those.
This thing isn't anywhere near filling up yet, is it?
This is so confusing. Too much cushioning is bad for the Achillies but apparently a lower heel drop is also bad. I assume there is a strong positive correlation being heel cushioning and size of heel drop in shoes.
