Cyclists with a "Running" Problem

[dave303e]

Also one to note, there are a lot of trail shoes with lower or even zero drop in them. Yes in the long run(pun intended) the lower drop can strengthen your feet and and and. But if you have even slightly strained calves or plantar going to a low drop shoe will cause issues.

@shaper How was your Chicago Marathon? Congrats on the PB!

Unreal run by Ruth Chepngetich at Chicago yesterday.  2:09:56!!
Smashed the ladies world record by 1min57. 

would have placed 10th overall yesterday 

Averaged 15:24 per 5km. First 5k was 15min

64:16 through halfway. Only 3 other ladies have run quicker in a 21k.

only 4 US men have run a 42k faster than 2:09:56 this year.

Thanks but not a PB, GPS was way off with the high rise buildings and many under passes/tunnels we went through, hard work as the legs were not feeling great from the start even though conditions were great when we started, until around 25km and the sun came out and the humidity seemed to ramp up.  The last 4km were a real struggle, but what a great race.  The crowds through downtown city was fantastic and loud!! Have never run a race where the crowd seemed 10 deep.  They say there are about 1.7 million who come out to support on the route and I can well believe it.  Great race and well worth the hype. Am looking forward to running Boston next year.

I have a feeling you’ll enjoy the crowds at Boston
