    i have done 150 miles in mine in a year, so i am kind of hoping they will be fine for the rest of the year. Might get a new pair for my October marathon though. I am pretty light on my soles though.

    i would say some Italian bias! I reckon they are all much of a muchness nowadays. Some are more aggressive than others. I use Saucony pro's because they are not as aggressive but still give you the carbon benefit-. Cost wise, you going to get at least 2 years out of a pair of carbons (depending on how many races you do) so i would rather buy in line with my daily runner brand

    i am just going to do a nice easy half marathon, so dont mind if there are a few hills. I think only the marathon has a bus ride. Looks like the half is an out and back

    I had a Discovery+ subscription last year and watched using that, but now that is gone and it requires a TNT sports subscription which is €30. The general sentiment is that no one will be subscribing to watch that. Killing the sport

    Mileage absolutely makes a difference in what you can achieve, but yes..it has to be balanced with productive an easy runs. I moved away from only doing speed in my speed sessions to also doing lactate threshold segments on my speed days as well as intervals as part of some of my long runs. 3200km in 2024. biggest year by a long shot

    i had calf issues in 2023. Don't know how old you are, but I realised with age comes the need to do strength work. So i added 5 minutes of glute work with resistance bands before each run ass well as a gym session to do core and leg strength work. I also replaced my monday run with 45 - 60 minutes on the elliptical trainer. Still gives you the cardio workout but gives the pressure on the muscles and joints a day off
