The Running Thread

[verb_to_trust]

Knees are giving me small trouble since I've started back up a couple of weeks ago. Twingy discomfort on the inner side of my joints, particularly the right knee. Like I need to "pop" the joints but can't. May take an extra day to rest. Probably just old, out of shape, and in need of stretching.

Dev is definitely going to tell you to stretch

[washing machine]

He's probably right. Or at least maybe I should foam roll.

[Dev]

I watched this IG stream Goggins did with the trainer he's working with last night. He's recovering from a knee injury. The trainer guy said he did an MRI on his knees and they were trashed, that he's seen 72 year olds with better knees. Goggins was running on the treadmill and talking about what he was doing to still run like he always has but...I think the dude might be broken.

I watched one of these too

[Dev]

I am pretty fucked up right now so stretching is my life.

I think this review rules me out:

REALLY LIKE THE SHOE, GREAT FOR FASTER RUNS, WOULD PROBABLY NOT REALLY USE IT FOR LONG RUNS OR SLOWER PACES, BUT FAST PACE IT’S GREAT.

That review is dumb. Bostons are great for any distance. And pace has nothing to do with anything.

I love my Bostons. Just gazing at them from across the room makes me want to put them on and run.

[verb_to_trust]

And the 9s are even better than Reid's 8s in my opinion.

[washing machine]

I can't wait to grab a pair when Adidas slashes the price.

[Bammer]

I went with this.

[verb_to_trust]

Those look pretty cool

[lennytheweedwhacker]

what would you say is the best value option for running shoes?

[verb_to_trust]

Don't cheap out on them, ever. Best bet to save money is to buy last year's model on a discount. Boston 7 hasn't been "new" for a few years but is a great shoe. 59 bucks right now on Marathon sports for a size 10

i have some nike's that are a few years old that i bought on clearance...i'm sure they're bottom of the line, but it's not like i'm running multiple miles daily

i'll check those out tho

[verb_to_trust]

You need to buy a respectable model. So with nike you could get something like the pegasus, just a few years old. Those will be cheap instead of over $100 for the latest peg
