    I just stocked up on the Speed 3s thanks to an online sale, and ordered a pair of the Pro 4 too. The Speed are usually my daily training shoe (though I do use my Kayano for long easy pace runs), and the Pro will enter the race rotation alongside my Edge+.

    You’re entirely right, though. You could hear the choir well before you rounded Spaceship Earth and made the turn for the finish. Always a great feeling to see them and know you’re almost done.

    Speaking of the Endorphin Speed 3s, Running Warehouse has them for a pretty good sale price now that the Speed 4s have been released.

    As a long time resident of hot and humid locales (including Houston in the past), I feel your concern about the heat. I've found the best way to deal with it is to run right before and after sunrise when the humidity dips down, drop my pace significantly, and most importantly, track my fluid and...

    I missed almost 3 weeks of training before my 70.3 last weekend, and feared the worst as I watched my fitness score on Training Peaks drop 12 points. Managed a sub-5:30 finish, so maybe the extra rest will help you too. :)

    I’ve been using a Stryd for about 18 months. I don’t use a Stryd plan. I get my workouts from my coach, and he provides the power target for each session and interval. I find it hard to feel a specific power without having to think about it, unlike a given pace where muscle memory comes...

    I don’t know about anyone else, but my ultras have taken much longer than 30 minutes :rotfl2: On a serious note, ultras are a lot of fun. The races are smaller, the courses are generally quite interesting, and the community is very friendly and supportive. Plus, the aid stations are more like...

    If you run Houston and are a hasher, the local group has an “elite hasher” table with your preferred beer waiting for you at mile 24. They’ll even hand it to you. :rotfl:
