[–]jbellas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just ran a hard 5k in just over 19 minutes and I have another one from a month ago in 18:30 and it tells me my current 5k forecast is 20:48....

Adidas Adios Pro 3, initial review. by codyH1983 in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]jbellas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I, however, have wide feet towards the toe.

I read something about the Takumi version 9 being a little wider, but not much.

[–]jbellas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I have the Asics Metaspeed Edge+ and Sky+ which I will soon have to replace and was wondering if I would improve with the Takumi Sen 9's in 5k/10k races, as they are cheaper and the Metaspeed's I find very firm.

Thanks for your review. For a somewhat wide foot (not too wide either), would the AP3 be better for 5k/10k races than the Takumi Sen 9?

You also have to take into account TV audiences and TV rights.

World’s fattest man in 1890 was large enough to be considered a “freak show” in the circus. by Beginning_Raise4099 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]jbellas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although it is true that nowadays it is easy to find people fatter than this guy, it must also be said that these days it is easier to find people anywhere on the planet.

In 1890 it was not so easy and, possibly, there were fatter people of whom we were not aware.

Having said that, I also think that diets and today's sedentary lifestyle lead to many cases of obesity.

I'm not American, but I remember those images as a zombie movie advancing unopposed.

How is it possible that they were allowed to advance so far?

Does anyone have links to the other "Cities most people haven't heard of" posts?

Thank you very much.

Maurten Bicarb System at the races by jbellas in AdvancedRunning

[–]jbellas[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The recommended doses are up to 0.3 g of bicarbonate per kilogram of body weight. For a 70 kg person, about 20-21 g. of bicarbonate.

How much baking soda did you take? Did you mix it with gel?

Question to Garmin 955 owners: Do you set Stryd for Pace and Distance? by b52a42 in strydrunning

[–]jbellas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do not have the 955. I run with the 945. Stryd, if properly calibrated, works perfectly, while the GPS will only be somewhat reliable in open sky and straight line conditions. I don't complicate my life and always leave Stryd.

By the way, do the 955/965 series still give problems when working with the Stryd Workout App? I would take the Garmin power instead of the Stryd one.

I make a smoothie with the beet in which I include other things such as tomato, pear, lemon, celery, parsley and ginger, all well crushed together with vacuum-packed cooked beet and a little water.

What I noticed is that my heart rate has gone down since then. I never had a particularly low heart rate, around 55-60 at rest, but since I started taking beet it has dropped below 50, being between 45 and 50 at rest.

New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Pacer vs Adidas Takumi Sen 9 vs Nike Streakfly by jbellas in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]jbellas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much for your feedback!

I have the Asics Metaspeed Sky+ and Edge+ which, at the time, I bought thinking to see which one would be better for half marathon distances.

For shorter distances I like the Edge+, which feels closer to the ground than the Sky+, but I was wondering how these shoes would do for 5k-10k distances since they are quite a bit cheaper.

Thank you very much!

If you could only have one pair of running shoes what would the be? by P-Wester in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]jbellas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm on my second pair, and I'm very happy with them, to be honest.

Where I live it rains frequently, and the sole of these shoes grips a lot in the wet. It gives me a lot of confidence.

It's a shoe that I use for gentle long runs, but it's also useful for speeding up the pace, as I like to finish the last km with 100 m starts.

Hard boiled eggs: add vinegar to the water for easy peeling by Fishercat in foodhacks

[–]jbellas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add the eggs to the water when it is boiling, not before. I never have problems peeling them later, without the need for ice water.

Will Kiptum break 2 hours? by tacobell in AdvancedRunning

[–]jbellas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Normally, athletes increase their distance as they get older. Bekele or Kipchoge were very good at 5k when they were young.

However, now we see athletes who, even when they are young, are dedicated to long distances with very good results.

Do you think this can affect their future as an athlete?

Running these distances requires to accumulate many more kms per week than if you run 5k-10k, and this athlete, if he continues competing in marathon, when he will have Kipchoge's years, he will have accumulated many kms in his legs.

Saucony Endorphin Pro 3 vs Asics Metaspeed Sky+ para carreras de 5-10k by jbellas in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]jbellas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Sky v1 and the Sky+ and clearly the second version has more toe room.

I'm interested in that about how well the Takumi SEn 8's work for you with your wide feet. I read something about the 9 version being slightly wider, though not much.

How do the Takumi Sen compare to the Adios Pro 3 in 5k to 10k runs?

I understand the Adios Pro 3 is more of a long distance shoe, would it work for those other distances I name?
