Anyone have running shoe recommendations? My Hoka’s just wore out. I liked them but was curious if there was anything better out there.

New balance, whatever one’s dads wear for bbqs and lawn cuttings.

If you go to your ignore list, at the very bottom (this is a long scroll for me, since I've got over 400 users on mine), there is an option that lets you either remove ignored content entirely or hide with, but with an option to reveal it.

It doesn't look like that does what I'm looking for. This particular poster started a thread in the basketball forums. If I ignore him, I don't see the thread at all. I want to see the threads he creates (he creates quite of few of them) I just don't want to see his posts.

Brooks have always been my favorite but running shoes are a personal thing depending on whether you pronate or not, how big you are, etc...

I've see her work a couple time. Ironic.

Were they cinderblocks?

How the hell can they let that happen? Who designed that shit?

Question for our esteemed mods- if you put someone on ignore you don't see any threads they create. This seems like a bad thing. I know I'm not the only one who has experienced this. Any chance some smart person would look into changing how this works?

For the record, the person that I would really, really like to ignore is not a Flyers fan and doesn't post here. Just almost everywhere else.

Well there is a certain moron on the main boards that I usually have on ignore but I really can’t because I won’t be able to see the MLB game day thread and some football threads.
Also if you know someone posting in said thread and you will get a error message saying the thread doesn’t exist. I tried to get in that way thru the backdoor but no dice

Yeah, that's the situation.

If you un-check it, you'll get an option to display threads started by people you ignore. At the bottom right of the list of threads, there's an option that says "show ignored content", and if you click on it the thread will appear.

1917 was a good movie. And I don't mean good in a way of my personal enjoyment, but more of the cinema experience. We don't really get those kind of movies anymore, the big budget movies are all CGI/Comic book/etc.

Its how I felt about Top Gun: Maverick. Just an insanely good and well shot movie that felt and was real.

This is a really good way to put it.

Similarly, Fury Road was an incredible theater experience.

He probably has me on ignore

I'm still angry that I didn't see Fury Road on the big screen.

Brooks Ghost

 

[Asnito]

@FLYguy3911 just wanted to clarify and defer to Jack and DP on road running shoes. I love the Ghost model but most of what I do is off-road.

If you do any trails or hiking I highly recommend the Salomon Speedcross. I have the version 4 and they're my favorite pair of shoes.

I think silicone.

There was a shallow layer of foam bricks over a concrete floor, apparently. Someone else was hospitalized as well

So, half marathon update. Beat my PB of 2016, woohoo - this was the third serious attempt (1st time I ran out of gas 2km before finish; 2nd time I ran minute slower, but track was hilly, so on a flat one that day the PB would had fallen already, but ''what ifs'' don't count, obviously).

So now PB went from 1:51:47 to 1:50:43. Gave it my absolute max as evidenced by throwing up slightly after finish line. Munich track is really good for PB attempt - very few turns, long straights, the climbs I don't even want to call climbs, more like some slopes. And last 4km - when you're already questioning the life choices - are all either flat or downhill.

Now, tho... I slept on the 1st floor couch just to avoid stairs.

Running that far in one go is for crazy people.


That being said, well done you crazy person!

Seems like a nice spot, tbh. Marathon (and up) is indeed for crazy people; 10km doesn't seem challenging.

Thanks, that works. The only problem is you have to click that every time you view the thread list, but it’s good enough. It would be nice if you could set that as the default behvior somewhere though.
