Northern Arizona, the best place to run imo. Thanks for the comment and kind words 😊

(key-zahr)

Thank you sir! Optimism is best when times are tough, appreciate the comment

Kezar

In terms of a negative physical response to over stimulus and lack of rest and recovery, sure! Similar but not synonymous imo

Dang thanks for feedback! Noted!

😂

What doesn’t kill you… 💪

🙏

Ouch, everyone's different! Good luck solving it!

@@DrewMartig a bit of it tape on the Achilles for longer runs stops it happening

Couldn’t agree more that anaerobic training makes the long thresholds just feel easier, more of a mental battle if anything. Looking forward to seeing you at CIM and appreciate your kind words. Good luck in your training thanks for the note 🙏

Thanks for the suggestion! Noted!

🤷🏻‍♂️

Hydrate daily with LMNT and I use Maurten which is easy on the belly for racing and long runs!

Appreciate the comment! I do think we all would benefit from leaving our watches and gadgets at home every once in a while and just having a happy , fun run. Looking forward to having you as a viewer ✌️

💯 what’s your goal??

@@DrewMartig beat my debut road marathon PB from 2023 Chicago, go sub-2:40, and have fun! What's yours?

Fantastic! I’d like to have a strong race and go under 2:30. Good luck to you!

Good question! Because I started running late in life I’ve realized I’m recent years that I need to develop two things: aerobic development and speed/power. Periodization for me usually looks like slower volume, higher intensity early on, then transitioning to lactate threshold and ultimately marathon or LT2 work as marathon gets closer. Actually just posted part 2 of this series talking about this exactly, check it out! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGmwYomllNOcq8ksi=bLWQeh6NLNZYUKsD

That sounds like a great rotation. Pretty much what I’m doing. Increasingly impressed with ASICS these days, still haven’t tried their super shoes though - maybe I should 🤔

I hate hearing about injuries, but the rest is awesome! If there’s anything you are curious to see more of or get a perspective on, please let me know here in the comments 🙏

🙏

🙏 Thanks Don more coming!

Love the feedback thanks for sharing! I’m a huge podcast listener so trying out the medium to see where I can bring value. More coming!

I don’t see the utility in just one shoe, maybe a pair is useful?

@@DrewMartig used old shoe

@@DrewMartig i can't afford this dream shoe 🥺

Glad you enjoyed it! Good luck out there!

Thank you brother! 🙏

Thank you 🙏

MY experience was that both are true to size. However the upper on SB1 fits more loosely than SB2, giving SB2 a more snug comfortable fit. Again this is with my feet and my experience taking them out for a few runs. Thanks for sharing, happy running 🙏

@@jorgecastrejon1611 Funny enough, you’re actually the perfect use case for that IMO. Depending on pacing, super shoes that cost upwards of $250 these days can have diminishing returns with heavier or slower runners. And as a result, many folks end up wasting money. In cases like these I’d say something like a SuperBlast would be a great shoe to try out as a do-it-all. They’re cheaper than a carbon plated super shoe but can work better for your mechanics and minimize injury. I’d be wary of only having one pair depending on how many miles you run, so maybe buying one pair as a test is good for a couple weeks, then if you like it investing in a second pair. From then you can alternate shoes to minimize wear and stay injury free. Just a suggestion based on experience of myself and others I coach. 😃

Love to hear it and thanks for the kudos! Keep ripping those miles! 🦾

@@DrewMartig same to you man! Waiting for September when they release new colorways, because I need a second pair lol!

@@Deenocon 💯

It's the foam used in the Edge and Sky Paris.

@@Fozzee.1970 yes sir

I didn't choose homestead life, homestead life chose me.

Already got a pair coming gonna review 😳

Thanks 🙏 me too

I have a similar problem with time constraints and the harder sessions definitely make it easier to squeeze good work in. I’ve found I’ve gotten the most PR gains out of 30 min race pace (critical velocity) work. Pretty much anything between 5k and 10k pace for most people. PS: Your work and training balance is impressive! Kudos! 👍

@@DrewMartig that was my thought. Been seeing a lot of these hybrid plans making headlines (Parker Valby most recently) and was almost thinking if I could only squeeze 2 sessions in during trips I could focus VO2 and threshold. Consistency is easy when I’m home, but it’s been those training block interruptions that kill me

@MyWildBackyard My two cents is that the only potential gap would be base aerobic fitness which can limit your ceiling over the long term. But for someone like you who has a strong competitive background I’d bet that’s less of a concern.

There’s no better time than the present!

Keep it up

Asking for a friend lol

Yes! I generally use Maurten and NeverSecond gels and drink mixes. I usually need about 50-60g carbs per hour minimum but honestly need play with it more. I aim for 500mg of sodium per hour minimum as well, but I think it would be optimal to get more - just tough with the amount of salt in supplements these days.

@@DrewMartig Awesome, thank you!

✈️

I do push ups and pull ups after every mile . So I won’t loose muscle

💪 🔥 🦵

Glad it’s helpful! Sub if you haven’t, there’s more coming! 🙏

I’m glad you were able to tune in! Thanks for the comment. More so than slowing down, I think emphasizing the purpose of each day can help motivate you to be present and make conscious decisions as to how hard you’re pushing yourself on a day-to-day basis. There’s a place for every type of running in a plan, and putting emphasis on what your body needs TODAY, and not getting greedy might help you do what is required to improve. Thanks again, sub for more and let’s chat again soon ✌️

👀

Hope they don’t F$&@ it up on version 2 this fall!

@@DrewMartig i am waiting for version 2 too and hope it maintain non carbon

@@redscap17 💯

Thanks for sharing! It’s a great all-arounder

I sure hope so 🙏

🎯

Hope it gets put to good use! ✌️ thanks for tuning in

Thanks brother appreciate you!

That’s fantastic. Same stimulus depending on fitness level of the individual. Obrigado for your note, have a great day!

Glad it was helpful!

Oh no! I’d assume based on the features of the shoe that it would be great for bigger runners too - assuming foot size correlates with height and weight here 😆
