The old trailflys were always very good general purpose shoes, I’ve done all my road & trail running in them since the g270 came out, and I think most of us like the boomerang insole ? Maybe it’s a thing you have to get used to. The problem with the new range for some of us is the lack of a zero drop shoe. I think you have better feel and control on steep down hill surfaces with zero drop, and if you are used to zero drop then running on tired legs with an hunk of rubber on the sole is a really annoying.

What heal raisers do you use because I’ve found that when I use them they strain my calves. Wide toe box is fantastic though.
@AshRolls10 күн бұрын
The new trailfly are no longer zero drop (for better or worse) so you shouldn't need a heel raisers.
@wildgingerruns4 күн бұрын
I had a pair from ultimate performance once, these amzn.to/4eidHo2 were good. I went for under the insole to reduce potential slipping but I think they're also sposed to be fine on top. The shoes I tested were 6mm drop though not zero, so as AshRolls says you might be ok?

Scott Jurek, how do you eat vegin without having nutritional deficiencies? Because my sister is vegin, and she is having trouble getting enough iron.
@wildgingerruns4 күн бұрын
Hi Joy, she might need iron supplements but be careful with those as they can make you constipated and affect the gut microbiome. Best to eat lots of leafy green veg and a combo of iron-rich food, plus vitamin C helps absorption oranges/orange juice helps - more info on iron-rich vegan foods here, google knows everything ;) www.vegansociety.com/resources/nutrition-and-health/nutrients/iron?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwjNS3BhChARIsAOxBM6rsrxRWmSJpjcgUE-2-KgWKrfVg0yyD029CZqguum77-2BYcOEhqdUaAoDMEALw_wcB Hope that helps!

Is it overkill if I use a hydration vest with a 1.5 L water reservoir and drinking hose for trail half marathons? I mean, dang, I really feel like I need that much fluid for a 13 mile race especially hot humid summer races. Sometimes it can be an eternity until the next aid station….

Just a quick answer re the odour in T-shirts. Try pouring or spraying methylated spirits on the area (not a lot) then wash as normal. Do not dry in heat dryer but air dry is best. You might need to do this every second or third wash

Always take a bag AND a blanket. As Claire says, a bag can cover you and keeps your hands free. Add in the blanket and you can make a very basic shetler and it is perfect to signal with. In the Lake District, always pack for the heaviest of weather as it can hit you in minutes!
