Northern Exile Jul 2018 10:30pm, 29 Jul 2018 4,741 posts	0 Northern Exile I think that very much depends on what kind of runner you are. Personally, I would say that an Ironman-distance triathlon is considerably harder than the 50, especially if it's a sea swim or the bike leg is hilly, however it's one of those horses-for-courses thing. This gal would find it much easier than any kind of triathlon

Northern Exile Jul 2018 11:04pm, 29 Jul 2018 4,742 posts	0 Northern Exile Hoka Challenger ATR v4. Not impressed, the tread on the soles is starting to peel off. I know they had a hard outing yesterday mind.
Derby Tup Jul 2018 7:23am, 30 Jul 2018 26,486 posts	0 Derby Tup Long distance shoes that do that are disappointing. I’m going to try some (Hokas) for next years LDWA 100
oumaumau Jul 2018 7:31am, 30 Jul 2018 958 posts	0 oumaumau NE, has Bobs tried the Torrent? Similar fit to the ATR4, but with a more complete outsole. Too much exposed midsole on the ATR for a rocky course like the L100 I think.
flyingfinn Jul 2018 9:38am, 30 Jul 2018 1,083 posts	0 flyingfinn I was pleased with how my Speedgoats performed. Bar one very small blister on the side of my heel that I was only aware of on finishing my feet (and shoes) were in a good state at the end and no toenails will be lost. My feet got a bit tender towards the end but I'm not sure that could have been totally avoided given the conditions.
