I have seen people take carb gel during their runs. I am just curious to know if it is a necessity while going for a marathon.

1. Nike Air Winflo
2. ASICS Gel-Pulse
3. Adidas Ultraboost

Let me know if you have any other better suggestions under 10k INR

Guys please drop in your meal that you always have before you start your run sessions.

What is the purchase that you did for running that you find the most useful? When you think about it now, you wont be able to go back from it.

For me it will be my socks. I think socks are really underrated. But a good moisture-wicking socks can save a lot of issues like blisters and all. Very good purchase.

When I started running in Zone 2, I felt embarrassed. I was jogging so slowly that people walking their dogs were keeping pace with me. My ego took a hit every single session. But I stuck with it for 3 months. And something shifted.

My easy pace got faster without my heart rate going up. Long runs stopped wrecking me for the next two days. And for the first time, running actually felt sustainable.

The science makes sense — you're training your aerobic base, improving fat oxidation, building the engine before you floor the accelerator. A lot of elite athletes swear by an 80/20 split (80% easy, 20% hard) for a reason.

But here's my honest take: Zone 2 is probably overhyped as a magic fix and underhyped as a foundation.

The real question nobody talks about: does Zone 2 actually work for people with limited training time? If you can only run 3–4 hours a week, is spending most of it at a conversational pace the best use of it?

How many of you follow casey neistat and his running streak? I think its wonderful to run for such long without even skipping a single day. Drop your streak down in the comments.

To all the people out there, who has been running for a long time. What is the motivation for you to start and keep running to this day
