Shades 10 Dec 1:04pm, 10 Dec 2024 5,295 posts	0 Shades WP - well done on your PT session too. I do find the Stairmaster fairly challenging and I'm not yet relaxed when using it. I did increase the level today.
Welshpoppy 10 Dec 5:24pm, 10 Dec 2024 5,141 posts	0 Welshpoppy That is progress with stairmaster. I noticed shoes which were 12 "drop are reduced to 10 in that article about shoes.
Shades 10 Dec 5:33pm, 10 Dec 2024 5,301 posts	0 Shades WP - Is that a shoe you use? 10 is still a fairly high drop. Seems to be the trend, a lot of shoes have altered drop, usually accompanied by some additional stack in the forefoot.
Welshpoppy 10 Dec 5:42pm, 10 Dec 2024 5,142 posts	0 Welshpoppy Yes I noticed both mizuno wave ride and ghost from brooks so will stock up on both when I can. Although mizuno never named shoes I knew which was wave rider.
Shades 10 Dec 6:00pm, 10 Dec 2024 5,302 posts	0 Shades That was well spotted with the Mizunos. Some of the shoes have changed so much they're virtually unrecognisable.
Welshpoppy 10 Dec 6:07pm, 10 Dec 2024 5,143 posts	0 Welshpoppy I will get OH to buy the older versions as a Christmas present,not that he knows it just yet ....LOL
Welshpoppy 10 Dec 6:08pm, 10 Dec 2024 5,144 posts	0 Welshpoppy i do worry that people like me will have no shoes at all soon to wear!
Shades 10 Dec 6:13pm, 10 Dec 2024 5,303 posts	0 Shades Good idea re the Christmas presents from OH. I'm OK with 8mm so plenty to choose from for now. My Cliftons are 5mm and I'm OK with them, but wouldn't run long in them. Well I'm not doing any long runs anyway 🤣

About This Thread

Maintained by Shades

Back in December 2005 I started a thread on Runner's World offering a marathon training plan on 3 runs a week. I had my own running club at the time (Womens Running Network) and I had successfully trialled the training plan when I took a group of girls to Dublin to run their first marathon.

Over the years the thread has evolved into a chat thread, with a bit of training advice, race reports, for predominantly marathon runners.
