I usually skip out of work early on Wednesday to try to ride lately, but my boss was just in town if I can get caught up and still sneak out by 2 let’s hit wildcat. Starting from the miserable climb of batcave

Oh yea btw awesome about the new job

down leaves me plenty of time to procrastinate

What caused it? If from running, I have a pretty good taping technique. Also do a good warm epson salt soak

does it include shaving my legs, didn't think I'd go full roadie...

care to elaborate I'm desperate

 

[qclabrat]

I'm going to stop at dsw tomorrow and see if I can get a new pair

Don't use the expensive tape most videos show, this technique works well

while they do the fred ride does anyone want to hit up JH?

I was a runner too, I did the 1600 usually around 520s it was because I had a crush on a girl and got friend zoned after dating her friend.

Wow you were pretty fast, I could never crack sub 5. My best was 5:01

This might be a possibility for me.

Running specific sneakers and proper inserts could really make a difference. Just like bike fit, shoe fit is pretty important. Running is pretty high impact. So, maybe even more important. Someplace like this: www.roadrunnersports.com

Probably your running style and your sneakers.

Keep me posted. I have little interest in driving all the way down to Hartshorne. But, after this past weekend, I hope to get a ride in this upcoming weekend. If the time/day works, I know Jungle pretty well and could lead. Or should I say "point the way from behind"?

What time sounds good to you, I want to volunteer Sunday so if my wife forces one I'll only volunteer so I can spend some quality time with @Norm

Why would he go to nica

Why would he go to nica

No clue I read him talking about it I think he coaches either way I'm interested in the mechanics of how an event is ran so I want to go

 

[Norm]

Yeah I’m a coach now and my stepson races for the Veloraptors. We’ll be there Saturday afternoon & all day Sunday. In between we’re going to see Endgame I think. And maybe I’ll let Max teach my younger stepson to set shit on fire.

Good pickup by MrsQ, enjoying the Muller talk after a crappy runView attachment 94277

Neat? I don't see ice. That must be some good tequila. Respect.

Go to runners haven in Randolph rt 10

A little disappointed on this one. Even with carbon wheels and a XX1 drivetrain not close to 24. Not tubless yet and have lighter egg pedals. It's a Fox32 fit4 tuned by BikeCo, not stepcast, but not heavy. Where else to shed another pound? View attachment 94275View attachment 94276

Doesn't the 429 come with Fox34?
Curious to know why you went with 32... weight saving?
No dropper?
Going clipless this year?
Are those RR? Aren't they XC tires? Would have thought you would go with something with bigger knobs?

 

[Paul H]

Installed the super light NEXT SL cranks and with my fast 29+ wheels and eggs should be close to 27 flat. Not bad for an aluminum bike. Single speed maybe 25 and change

shinsplits are killing me anyone have any tips?

don't land on your heal.
always run on asphalt instead of concrete. cinder paths (ie columbia trail or D&R even better)

lots of drills available to change style https://www.facebook.com/runrxfit

in a nutshell, fall from you hips with your body in-line to ankles, just drive your knee up, and drop your foot
for a forward/midfoot strike. the only feeling is pulling your knee up. no push, no stride out.
the more ya lean, and the higher the knee pull, will increase cadence and speed.
you'll feel like you are going slower, when you'll actually be going faster with less effort.

also, if looking for a training plan, strava premium members have access to free plans with race specific date/distance.

if you are going to run a lot (like more than 5) get two pairs of trainers, different brands. The small differences will prevent
repetitive stress. Do not train in minimalist shoes - those are fine for a 5k or trail race.

Track sneaker use - 350 miles max, then they are relegated to yard work. Unless you weigh under 140, probably could get a bit more.
