Adidas is putting carbon metatarsals in a new Adios "pro" coming out at the end of the month. How long until shoes are just robots that run for you?

I am dropping off my bike for a tune-up tomorrow and will be running home.

Probably gonna run back to the bike shop on Saturday to pick it back up!

Just bought some Boston 9s in "signal pink". So sick looking.

When do you guys retire shoes? Do you just go by feel? I track mine on Strava and usually retire around 4 or 500 miles. I'm really milking the pair of 7s I'm in now. Probably switching to my last pair of 7s at the end of the month.

Humid today. 10k in the fresh Bostons seem to have remedied the heel/calf/achilles soreness I had this week.

I have no idea how to gage this but I’ll assume you run 500 miles per year. Let’s just say you finish the current pair off at the end of this year. Then the next 7’s though out 2021, and then the signal pinks through 2022.

What I’m saying is I’m encouraged you are making plans 2+ years into the future.

I run over 1k miles a year bro. Current pair are about toast at 416 miles. You have to have two pairs of shoes on hand in case one pair gets wet and you want to run the next day or to color coordinate.

Ok so 1+ year into the future give or take

Goggins is back. He posted an epic 1 min video where he laughed maniacally at the haters who were happy he got hurt and ended it with "fuck you! Stay hard!":

The more you succeed in life, the more you get up when you fall, the more you fail yet continue to try- know one thing- the real estate you own in the minds of the haters, doubters and trolls is permanent!

Goggins baybeeeee!!!

Lol Goggins follows zero people on Twitter but has over 300k following him.

I ran 5 on the tread earlier but I might do a double today if I get bored enough

Lot of fireworks near the track tonight. You could smell them in the air. Hadn't done a double in forever. Made it sort of neat I guess.

i stopped running because even with light jogging my heart rate was getting up to 4 or 5 beats higher than what my max heart rate should be...so not good...i had an echocardiogram done the other day, so we shall see

Were you running with your mask on?

You're going to get short of breath getting into running.

sure, but it hasn’t improved much at all when I was going consistently...my doctor was concerned hence the ecg

i get short of breath in other exercise easy too, but no super elevated heart rate like with jogging

Devs probably going to tell you to stretch or something
