The Running Thread --2025

September total: 91 miles

My goal for the past 3 months was to get back to half marathon shape and I finally feel like I'm there. I ran a 10 mile race on 9/14 and was able to comfortably complete the race at a pace that was a bit faster than my usual long run pace on a warm & humid morning. Now if we could just get rid of this unusually warm weather...

ATTQOTD: I can get about 300 road miles out of my Novablasts, then I move them to the treadmill where I can get about another 100 miles out of them. After that they move to dog-walking shoes or yard shoes.
 
ATTQOTD: It depends on the model for me. When I ran in Brooks Glycerin, I could get ~250 miles out of a pair. After switching to the Brooks Ghost, I found I could get ~300 miles per pair. It's eerily consistent, too. Like clockwork, I start to get unexpected ankle and knee pain that I can't attribute to any other source, around that 300 mile mark. As soon as I change the shoes out, the pain goes away. I track the mileage on my shoes in Garmin Connect, so it's easy to verify where I am in the life cycle of a given pair.
 
I will just tack on that DS2 got around 500 miles out of his Saucony speed 3s. He would have kept running in them, but he completely ripped out the upper where it attaches to the foam, and the rubber on the sole was peeling off as well.
That’s one of my high mileage pairs, I have 560 miles on a pair of them and keep them in my owners locker for a backup and or 10k shoe. They are awesome yet the speed 4 hurts me, go figure.
