Cyclists with a "Running" Problem

[b-rad]

I certainly have some words to eat. Unreal performance!

P.S.. Bekele set it in 2004...I know it was just a typo.. But it's a16 yr old record that no one has been even within 5 seconds of since

Also have to give Jakob Ingergritsen a shout for his 1500m pb. Great run from him at 19yrs old

The 5000m summaryhttps://youtu.be/ZMOFo61NgiI

I got so carried away and added the extra decade . Have edited the post.

My word but that was special!

 

First Warholm is a freak, I love watching him. the ladies 5000 should be added as the textbook def of 'a kick', that race was great to watch, then then Cheptegei just left me speechless. Has anyone ever looked so calm just knocking out 60s laps, just beautiful.

 

Another special shout-out to Supersport for cutting the segment short so my recording missed Lyles and what looked like a crazy ladies 1000m

My friend got some new Saucony trail shoes last week. After the first run, she noticed this:

That is the new Peregrines? OMW!!!

[Vallende Vaandel]

Anyone struggling with severe over pronation that can recommend a road shoe? I have the Addidas solar boost but they quickly showed distortion and wear and barely made it to 700km

Podiatrists made me wear insoles and Physio gave me stability exercises but due to poor natural selection I am somewhat screwed. 1000 miler double lined socks is a helpful aid but not a solution, and not all shoes can accommodate a thicker sock plus insoles.

Saucony ISO peregrine for trail running is a blessing and I can do a 25km run in them without any issues, but as soon as I hit the tar in any other shoe I blister at 12km. So if Saucony trail shoes are heaven sent I suppose the road shoe will be my next experiment? But these experiments are becoming expensive since I have brand new (30km max) Salomons I can't run in and new shoes every 6/7 months for someone who isn't a serious runner this for me is excessive. Rather spend it om my bike!

Ladies 1000m was insane too... Kipyegon missed the record by something like a second. And Laura Muir in second posted a national record and up and coming Irish athlete Ciara Mageean also posted a national record. In fact the top 8 all had PB's

 

Edi: Lyles dominated. I also didn't realise he had a beast younger brother too

He ran an average of 2min:31sec/km  , that's just insane

I noticed this with Kipchoge's sub 2, and at times I swear Cheptegei too was only nose-breathing.

 

The level of fitness is just stupid.

They make it look so easy , Chetegei even had a smile on his face with that last lap

Hey guys, bought a pare of trail running shoes, took them for a 8km run but they are to small. Shop didn't want to exchange them for a bigger size but they also didn't have stock and refereed me to the Sandton store. Does this fall under the CPA or can't you return shoes that have been used once ?

No idea, I would just hope you get the 'right' person behind the counter that helps you.

 

If they've been used outside my guess is no return, but as I said I don't actually know.

and they will FLY off the shelves!

 

I've seen pics online of people custom colouring their Vaporflys, I imagine that'll cost and arm and a leg too.

Tried the SL 20's and they were to narrow on the arch, Pegasus 37 to narrow around the mid foot/toes and felt like the back was slipping so I guess the last option is the Gel DS Trainers 25. See there is a special on superbalist so might try them although not sure if it is a stability or neutral shoes ? 

 

Asics classify them as stability.

Have only read articles where athletes have blacked them out to run in rather than in their sponsored shoes.
