Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I learned that lesson too, Gobi, and I run with the treadmill flat. I wear Lunaracers on the treadmill (7mm drop) but still find it hard on my calves. Part of the problem may be that I don't use the treadmill enough to become adapted to it.

I also run with zero incline on the treadmill. Bit of a waste really since i have an incline treadmill. My ceiling is so low i never get to raise it anyway.

HOD,

I have one pair of Zoom Gravity, worn them a couple of times in a year. 5/10 for me, not the worst shoe I've ever worn but wouldn't buy any more (paid £54 from Nike website)

For me they feel slightly clunky and unresponsive, but everyone's experience will be different. I was shocked to see them turn up in the World Marathon Champs chart albeit only one male runner had them I think.

They also feel like they have quite a big heel to toe drop, but I've not checked the specs.

(I only bought them in May 2020, so I've not had them a year, my mistake)

Re. the treadmill incline - I've read some stuff that suggests the heat-stress compared with running outdoors means you're working as hard at 0% incline anyway. As a compromise I put GPS routes into mine, so it then simulates the ups (but not the downs, sadly), so you get a bit of variety, hopefully without the injury risk.
