Heads up, sierra.com has some Speedland RX:FPY in an almost full size run for $119. I snagged a pair to try out. They also have a decent amount of New Balance SC Elite V3 and 1080v14 for under $100.

Got me some Chinese carbon shoes today. Li Ning Feidian 5 Challenger $90 on Amazon

---

A follow up on this: I did my warmup miles in them before the 5k yesterday. Almost raced in them but I prefer the rocker on my Adios Pro 3 for racing.

That said, anyone who was a fan of the Endorphin Pro 3 will like these Li Ning’s. It’s an incredibly lightweight upper with a beaded PEBA foam and carbon plate. Lots of bounce without feeling mushy. Sizing is TTS, unless you like to have a full thumb at the toe, I’d say maybe go up half size. Ordering on Amazon is tricky because they put all of the Feidian line under one page, so you have to know what you are looking at. Most of them have coupons to get $20+ off.

This is a legit shoe brand. They have another line called Red Hare that is their daily/comfort shoe. They just released the Red Hare 9 Ultra and it’s gotten really good reviews. Chinese shoes are gonna make some waves in 2026 I think.

19:13 official. Finally!!

Met up with Ingeniero - I’ll let him chime in but he got sub 20 too.

Perfect day for racing.

I just don’t trust my legs right now. Pretty sure I’m getting whatever my girls have and just not feeling as fit as I did 2 weeks ago. Guess that’s what happens when you go from 40+ mpw to 5

Damn dude, you’ll be going out faster than me :lol:

My watch says 19:30, which is probably right but I was sick last week, girls are sick again this week, and I haven been able to run like I thought I would this week. I was hoping to knock out a 5x1k Tuesday morning to assess/reaffirm I have 19:59 pace in my legs right now but girls kept us up all Monday night.

:cheers:

pre-ordered the MX Select EVOs

I think these are good, but if you were looking for a 5 to 55, the Core Fitness ones are tough to beat. I’ve had some for close to 4 years now. Will probably upgrade to heavier MX Selects when I get more space for a gym.

Again, I don’t seek out the virtue messaging. I was confronted with it by 4 separate breweries, 3 of them local.

Just like no one is forcing me to read this dumpster fire of a thread, no one forced you to follow them on socials. If you don’t like the message, unfollow them. :dunno:

Depends on where/what you are booking. I’ve never had to give a CC on Resy.

Who cares? Those posts won’t make or break the breweries, especially in New Orleans.
