Well done bro . Currently I’m loosing weight to get into my first marathon. I’m 44 so I need to get in slowly lol

Slow running is absolutely something I struggle with, I always hate that feeling of going so slow I could walk it, living in a City doesn't help as there are less routes to plod along I guess... Will keep working at it over the summer ⛱️

Hi, love your videos! Have you ever tried Skechers GoRun shoes? How would NB 680 compared to Skechers GoRun? Thanks in advance.

Your 2/10 effort, easy run is at a pace that I'm working towards achieving on my 12/10 difficult runs lol.

Thanks for the review! Still holding on to the quality?

how is the cushion?

Great vid - I love trail running too. As you say, it can be almost meditative. Stick on some relaxing tunes (or even just listen to birdsong/sounds of nature) and you can almost feel like your in a movie. You did say it but on the injury front a couple of things to underline. Until you get used to trail running, try to keep them a little shorter than you would for a road run and carry more fule/hyrdration than you think you'll need. You'll use more energy and work muscles you don't normally so a bit like starting running for the first time it's easy to push your body too far too fast - just ease into it. Also, for more 'off piste' or longer runs it might be worth taking a small first aid kit (Harrier Trail Running sell a good one) and maybe even a small headtorch if setting off in the evenings in the later months of the year. Also, consider a wind breaker for the winter months as it can drop cold. You'll not need any of this 95% of the time - but if something goes wrong and you do roll an ankle or do something else which stops you in your tracks you'll really appeciate being 'over' prepared. Finally, be extra careful/a bit slower when you are towards the end of your run and / or tired. I've only managed to cause myself a major mischief a couple of times and both were when I was going too fast and was tired.

Hey Lark, good to check in again. I love a bit of cycling , most frequently as a commute but I'm keen to get my stamina back up over the warmer months. Its been a few years, probably since lockdowns that I've done more than say 90 mins cycling in a go. I was a competitive cyclist long ago, so I get into easily. Very similar recovery ideas, although never tried yoga. I'd add in ice packs, or rather bags of frozen peas or corn to help treat particularly sore muscles. After running, excuse the pun, into some stiff sore knee issues after the Cardiff half Marathon last autumn, I've been looking for a more sustainable routine for my veteran legs. I became intrigued by the approaches of a couple of injury prone elite runners, GB runner Elliot Giles and an an american collegiate champion, Parker Valby. Both run very limited miles but do a lot on the elliptical trainer and Giles cycles regularly. My target is 4-5 days running a week, cross train on top of that, walk or cycle the commute, etc.

Personally I really enjoy running through mud baths in winter and spring, but safe to say my wife isn't best pleased when I come back home!

Does it feel heavy on foot?

You are more organised than me. Ive never even thought about a publishing schedule 🙈 Good luck with it 👌

Used the Adizero Pros for the Manchester marathon at the weekend. Superb shoe that is a great balance of plush/comfort and speed

Really enjoyed the Sen 8s ended up picking up 2 on sale last sunmer in the green & the orange, although they arent the first shoe I reach for they always drive me forwards more than any other during speed work! Really well worth ⏩

HOW ABOUT CUSION?? SOFT OR HARD?

People underestimate just how tough a sub 20 5k or sub 40 20k truly is, building the stamina & fitness is one thing but the mental gymnastics when you glance down at the watch & realise you're either close or behind where you should be pace wise is mentally crippling! Don't put too much pressure on yourself it'll absolutely come, enjoying supporting you here & on Strava 💪🏽

Hello just bought these shoes as a first timer runner, would you recommend to go half a size up from my regular shoes since I know Nike shoes sometimes run small

Like the trailer, Adam. So many places I recognise. We are blessed with a great variety of fab terrain to run through in this neck of the woods!

You’re faster and fitter than ever. Keep smashing it and the rest will come 👍

Was after a cushioned long distance shoe on a budget. Found these for £37 on SportsDirect and went looking for reviews to check they'd be suitable - seems like they are based on your review. Thanks 👍🏻 (new subscriber gained!)

I cant push myself on my own. I need people around me as part of a race. Its not a fail, its a learning opportunity 👌

Relatively new distance runner here… stumbled onto these shoes at a big box store for $48 USD. They are clearly for runners a tier above me, but I did a faster workout today and they were very enjoyable. I’ll be saving them for heavy workouts as my running journey progresses. Just wanted to share that people might see these shoes at insane prices in the short term in the right spot!

Good luck with the pb attempt 👌

I bought a pair for a great price. I agree with everything you say. Shoe is trash.

Triumph 20 are great cheap as well

Nice! I was running in Under Armour. Infinite 5 models. No money for some better MAchina Breeze models for warm weather. Some discount placed my attention on MWSR3 J1GC220981 model. First time for me. I am little bit heavy , 108kg. I like firm, low stack running shoes that are really rare in all soft trends out there. Novablast for instance get me injured. Too much wobbly for my tendons. And also I have some abductor pain, that prevents me for full range motion. I like when frontfoot part is spacy and when middle foam is somewhat firmer. On foot Mizuno looks like a tank. Firm edges. But one can never tell, unless try runing in them. Because foot itself, runner himself must know that movement through space. Middle foam won't do the heavy lifting for runner. Idk what else I could say. I shall try this model. And I hope I' ll run 3 months in them. I usually take 10k or less every day. I leave a day or two when I feel my body needs it. I wish I could have 3 shoes in rotation. To break cycle, and pressure on legs. For now it is what it is. I need better job. Anyways I appreciate thoughts shared. All the best! Clear sky and good heath running bro! Have a lovely day!

Hi! Did you mount with a stabilizer as well? Footage looks so smooth for running

Are they roomy in the toebox? Do they fit true to size?

I got these shows on august last year, Im a novice runner and mainly run on a threadmill at home. Today I had to "retire" them after 1060km (aprox 660miles), around 10km per day. Very good shoes for the price, the sole and external components seem to still hold very well but internally I guess they reached their limit and I needed a change. I will still use this shows for home, run errands and normal use but for long walks and runs is time to "give them a huge thanks and let them rest".

4:23.... yes, very good for the price ! (69.90 eur) My second hand 1500v2 revlite are definitely dead now...

I got on with pacing for RunThrough now! I did Oulton but the half back during Covid. Was very strange ha

Good luck with the new spring and summer season on the way.

I wear compression socks now and again mainly if its freezing out to keep me warm 🤣 but also if ive done a hard speed session but there rare these days

What is the manufacturing date of these discounted pairs ?

Well done, great session there

Im 40 min 10k pacer oulton park will definitely bump into there run through put alot more effort in with there pacers like a group photo etc and call out the different times and you then make your way to the front

Great run mate. Been wanting to do a bit pacing for a while, how do you get into it??

How does it compare with new balance 680 in durability and comfort ?

Good luck with it. Im sure you will smash it.

See u there 👍

Solid looking shoe, really want to try some of those, great review by the way

I just got the Jolt 4. It was the same price as Jolt 3. And your review was really helpful in making the decision. Thank you.

You're getting faster all the time. You've got a chance with sub 40.

What shoe do you think would be good for daily runs below 45 dollars

Oh i have the velocity 2s. Amazing daily shoe and cant go wrong for the price. Hit 750 miles and still solid and durability is amazing. Grippiest shoe i have alongside the Reebok Symmestros 2s. Dont bother with the Liberates. The deviate nitro (non elite) i use for mara training last year. Good shoe for that and can pick up quite cheap. Hope this helps

I ran the Yorkshire mara as my debut mara in these Deviate Elites last year. Definitely held up well for the majority of the distance (22 miles) then the legs started cramping badly but that was obviously not down to the shoes. In my opinion, for £85 quid which is what I paid for them a year ago, you can't go wrong. I just bought the Vaporfly 2s and ran a 10k race this Sunday gone and my god, what a shoe. Managed 41 mins somehow with very little 10k specific training lately and every bug and infection under the sun😂 Enjoy your vids and following your journey mate so keep em coming ✌️

I have a pair if Deviate Nitro elite and diviate nitro 2 both fantastic shoes. Great value, last well and suite me perfectly.

I have these bought them for 80 quid definitely not as poppy as other carbon plate shoes I was also expecting more I blame edd bud 🤣🤣 he loves puma but then again he gets them for free

Nike quest 5 or adidas duramo speed?

Never considered a pair of the Brooks. Probably because they aren’t really a ‘big brand’. Any good?

I had the same problem with trees making the pace sensitivity sluggish. I had to repeat the test as the first time failed to complete. I’m new and I’ll use whatever metrix advice I can get
