Nike Stride shorts - I wear the 5" and have for years. They have side pockets, plus one in the back. They are hard to find without liners these days, so I just cut the liners out.
I made the regrettable decision to have torchy tacos last night. Sat very heavy for the long run today.
Anyone like the Superblast 3's? I've only ever run in the Nimbus line, but wanted to try something different. I care a lot more about cushion and recovery than speed.
I bought these. My phone and a single packaged wet wipe fit perfectly. Then I tuck it in a pocket of my tights.

Yes, I've had the 3's since they came out. Outside of supershoes and Megablasts, they are my favorite shoes to run in.Average Joe said:

Supershoes would be wasted on me. From what I read, the 3's are a good mix of cushion with more response and are lighter. Sounds like they would be a nice fit for what I'm going for.
Started Dallas Marathon training yesterday. Using Hal Higdon's 12 week Boston Bound plan. With a decent base, 12 weeks is plenty and Dallas has a similar elevation profile, especially with regard to the hill climbs at miles 20-21. I've run both and I think Dallas is slightly tougher, but this training plan should work well.

This is my rotation too.
Superblast 3 for easy/steady miles
Megablast for all workouts
Retired supershoes for long runs.
IMO the first 2 are essentially perfect shoes for what I want them for.

Pretty much all of my miles are easy/steady miles. I hover about 10% more effort than a conversational pace most of the time. Whatever that translates to on the clock is what it is. Keeping that level of effort has steadily increased my pace over time.
I might wait to catch them on sale, but they sound like a good shoe to try out.
I've been getting spammed with advertisements for Mount to Coast trail shoes, so will probably give in and buy a pair (H1 or M1).
Normally trail run in Hoka or Salomon, but going to try something new.

Consistency: It's only a virtue if you're not a screw-up.
I love my H1's but they aren't great if it's wet. They get a little slick. They are a great non technical trail shoe though. Just got the M1s but haven't run in them yet.
I'm on a work trip in Vegas and just ran 6 miles with it at 67 degrees out and no humidity. Holy paradise!

I know these aren't what you're looking at, but I love my C1s. I have a half and 200 miles on them. They're just a really good, solid daily runner for me. Super comfortable, even for longer runs.
Anyone running Berlin tomorrow? Or have run Berlin in the past and want to pass along some words of wisdom? Looks like a near perfect start and then a borderline warm ish finish. Looking forward to those summer miles bring fall smiles!
70 this morning felt like the ice age. Brisk breeze for the entirety of a short 4 miler. Felt strong the entire run, and kept to my pace. Finished with a lot of gas left in the tank.

60 degrees with a dew point of 56 in the People's Republic of Minneapolis. Let's go for a run!

It was 56 in ft collins on Thursday when I ran.
I'm hoping there's light coming at the end of this heat tunnel.
I can't convince myself to wake up early on Saturday. It's the only day of the week I can sleep in. I'm also stuck doing kids sports later in the day, so I can't even look forward to a nap aftewards.
I also don't have a gym membership because we moved recently and just haven't looked further into it, so if I don't get up early enough, the heat kills the workout.
I started looking at gyms. I would prefer to do long runs outdoors, but until the weather is more tolerable at like 830-9, that may have to be an option.

Marathon training week 2, easy pace 4 miles.
Yesterday was 100 days out from my first marathon. First half is in 4 weeks. 9 mile long run this week. Finally starting to feel real.
19 miles on Sunday and felt pretty good.
7 miles this morning and felt absolutely horrible.
Running is fun.

It really is bizarre.
Did 4 miles Saturday and 5 on Sunday. Both days I got 2 miles in and wondered why I was even doing this. Finished both and felt like I could do it all over again instantly.
5:17 cutoff for Boston.
First actual race tomorrow- Kiolbassa Wurst 5k. Nervous and excited. Anyone else running? If so tell me hi- I'll be wearing the white Nikes
28:49. Beat my previous PR by 40 something seconds. I know it's just a 5k but I'm proud of myself
Bombed out my run today.
I had some harder intervals planned, but by the time I got up, while the temps weren't wildly warm, the houston humidty killed me.
I punted on the workout when my HR hit 179 at what should be a tempo style pace.
Colder temps have to be coming right?

Well, that escalated quickly
Lol you're donezo.
But welcome to the nuthouse.

Another weekend, another distance PB. Knocked down 9 miles last night. Ran a minute slower than my normal mile pace, but it allowed me to keep that same place the entire run. Felt really strong until 8.25 miles in and then just felt like I was running in mud.
I'm still running everything slightly faster than a conversational pace. About the point where it's a struggle to breath only through my nose, but still easy to breath through my mouth. I know my body is putting in effort and working hard, but it does leave me feeling like I'm leaving a lot on the table.
Also tested some Honey Stinger fruit smoothie flavor gels. Time was right around 1 hr 45 min, so might not have been needed. Did great during my run but stomach definitely cramped when I was done. Not sure if that was the gel or after affects of running.
Still bizarre to think I ran that far.

That's great! And what a milestone. Now you can recover and do it again next weekend.
I cannot tolerate gels. I do so much better with stinger waffles. And even rice krispie treats.
But also, when you're running that length of time you may just get a cramping stomach anyway. With that level of sustained exertion your digestion slows or even stops, but that will get better as your time on your feet increases and you train your gut.
I ran 1 mile today!
It was the first mile I've run in 5 months due to plantar fasciitis. It felt fine and my heal is okay this evening. Fingers crossed
