Nope! Just saw the review on runblogger. Pretty cool shoe! I'd be interested in trying them on since they're so wide! No clue where to find them though!

Thanks for the advice guys. I'll definitely be looking into the Asics since i can get someones employee discount on them lol.

Otherwise i would like to try on a pair of those Saucony's. They look crazy.

[xsidewayzx]

So my wife surprised me with a pair of mt10's, tried them out yesterday. There pretty light, I just cant wait until there broken in

[xsidewayzx]

Last weeks mileage:

1.) 15 miles
2.) Minimus Trails
3.) Road
4.) No issues
5.) 7:30 pace
6.) 9 rating for the week. Wish I had more miles.

Anyone else?

I finally found a buyer for my Merrell Trail Gloves. I'm about to buy another pair of VFF, I just don't know which one to get. I was leaning more towards the Komodosports, what do you all think?

[MisawaJason]

In transit still. Not much running going on

[xsidewayzx]

[Farkel]

Running is for Prey.

[xsidewayzx]

Running is for Predators chasing their prey.

I'm really digging my Minimus Trails. Hopefully when you get them they work out for you.

Anyone have some tips for a beginner runner? How to build stamina and how to last? I decide i wanted to join the marines but i do have a couple pounds to lose and i suck at running.

I'm not sure about this month, probably an easter themed run or something i'll have to check when I'm at work. I fucked up my foot again lol I ran two 4 milers last week one right after the other and that seems to have done it. I was using the merrells, I'm going to try running in my frees for a while to get my mileage back up then cross train with the vffs, im tired of getting injured constantly i feel like im old lol

but for sure sidewayz i'll check out some sites, you gonna be in so cal soon?

[xsidewayzx]

I got back last week. I dont know if its a good idea to go back and forth. I read you can get more injuries that way.

Best advice I can give is to get yourself out there and run, if it starts to hurt slow down or stop, start off with low mileage unless you are aware of your limits.

[xsidewayzx]

Yes, take it real slow.

I've got a weak left knee, but with stretches before and after as well as drinking water it helps a lot. I can never stop having as part of my workouts. Running in the rain is an awesome feeling. I always wear Underarmor ColdGear pullover 1/4 zip with my rash guards underneath to keep the sweat off.

I've used Ascis for pavement and I recently got a pair of Adidas light trail running shoes for off-road.

I don't carry water with me just my ipod and my house key.

Also, a polarized pair of sunglassed help as your face reflects the sun from your sweaty face.

[xsidewayzx]

So I've been seeing alot of improvement from how I used to run to now. My pace has been faster and I have been going further than I ever did. I'm guessing its the form and how much you pay attention to it.

How did I miss this thread LOL!

I've run 2 full,3 half ,and 3 MINI Marathon's, a few 5&10k's. I'm having to sit this season out due to some medical reasons. I've NOT YET achieved my under 4 hour full, but my best Half time was a 1:42, and when I stopped running I was holding a solid 7:58 pace. My Wife has run 8 full, 1 half, and 4 Mini Marathon's and she's registered for the up coming Marine Crops Full Marathon in DC. She's also talking about running an ULTRA Marathon, I think I'm going to pass on that.

I've been getting into the groove of things, and today, on a stupid hot day in Texas, I decided to run sans shoes. My pacing is decent, and my strides are shorter, but I don't feel as strained or fatigued during and after the runs. The shitty part was the stickers in the grass. My feet are still sensitive like a baby, so that shit was getting annoying.

[xsidewayzx]

Crap its sunday already. Ever since I got back from school I have found less time to run.

Wow, 6:30-7 minute pace that's great. I can do 9 minute pace.

Would interval training increase one's pace? I've been doing mostly my current pace which is more of a jog than a run. I've done alternating 1/4 sprints and walks around a track at the local community college before.

[dahveed]

this is some horseshit!! the track on base is getting closed!! I realize theyre taking out the elevation changes and shit, but its gonna be closed pretty much the entire summer! i HATE running on pavement! sad face.

Alright I need to join this thread.
Shorty story:
I've been welding for 7-8 years. It's made me pretty lazy and unfit.
The industry blows donkey spunk and I'm purely sick of it.

I've been accepted back into school for policing.
I start June 6. And I need to start running (well I started on the weekend). And I know at the end of it I have be able to run 5km or so...

Can anyone help me out with some stretches and/or warm ups?
What kinda shut should I eat/drink... Because I haven't the slightest clue what I'm doing..


I need to greatly improve my cardio. As I can barely run 500ft.
I'm 6' 1" 185lbs.. I have a small little keg growin on me.. And I e never smoked a day in my life. But I've been around lots of smokers..

Thanks ladies!

[xsidewayzx]

All you gotta do is take it slow. One step at a time. As for eating and drinking, I don't know. My best advice is get away from them smokers.

My problem is that I don't know where to start. Or what to start with. I'm all for taking it one step at a time. As I have about 1.25 years before I do my important physical tests.

I've been away from all my smoker friends for a while. I just mentioned it because I spent A LOT of time around them.
