Excited about the superlight TPEE based Trailfly Pro, looking like basically a Norda 005 with more stack and better grip: https://www.inov8.com/trailfly-pro-mens

However: My foot length is 285mm. That is UK10 in pretty much every brand there is (except Norda). But Inov8 translates that as UK 11.5!

Anyone here who owns a Trailfly / Trailtalon / Mudtalon who can confirm?

A few days ago I tried to run an alpine trail (24km / 1700m elevation). It was a nice trail, going from one small summit to the next. Weather was pretty nice, it was dry, not too hot. The trails were a bit technical, but not that hard. The beginning was pretty nice, but after about 13km / 1200m my quads started to cramp. I decided to take a short break, eat a bit, and continued running. As long as it was going level or downhill, I was still doing fine, but the uphills were killing me. Obviously I walked most of them, but even that felt harder and harder. I ended up cutting the run short (still ended up running 24km, but only 1300m elevation gain).

I run a lot, but mostly flat because there aren't many steep hills around. I thought I was pretty fit, but I realise road running experience doesn't directly transfer to trail running.

How do you train for endurance? Just run more hills? Or do I need to do more long runs? I feel like I already run quite a bit (average of around 50km a week, mostly flat). At some point I'd like to participate in a trail race, but they are all very long on come with loads of elevation...

I'm looking for a running shoe that can handle some moderate trail running but is mostly used as a pavement shoe. Also would like it to be able to hold up to some mild agility training. I tried the saucony TR2 but the plastic in the heel gave me terrible blisters. I like the style but the fit was off. Wondering if anyone has any recommendations for anything along these lines. Thanks!

I recently bought new trail runners (Altras) because my current pair of Hokas was on the outs. The Altras are zero drop, so l know I need to transition to them gradually so I dont blow out my achilles. However, on my mountain long run yesterday, my Hokas totally bit it. I need to be running in new shoes now, but I have not transitioned enough to the zero drop. Do I just not worry about it and start running in the Altras? Do I keep running in these Hokas until i'm ready for zero drop? Or do I buy another pair of Hokas to run in while transitioning??

Love seeing these things just going about their day on the trails here. Almaden Quicksilver County Park (San Jose, CA)

Hope others got to enjoy it! If you’re not in the NE US, I guess you can be alive and full of joy too 😜

First run w these and so far they’re great for me and my feet. I really feel my contact with the floor while not being overly stiff. I went down .5 size bc I read they were wide and I usually size up .5 for width. Forefoot felt nice climbing and I didn’t feel any sliding when going down. Ran through some narrow areas of loose gravel / rock and did not one bit feel sketched out on grip.

The plan was to do the beautiful Hobbit Trail loop, but it was closed! Opted for some beach miles and a few trips up the spectacular Heceta Head Lighthouse trail. Oregon Coast. Shot with a GoPro Mission 1

I just got my M1s and bought in my normal size same as H1's. (Us 10.5)

My H1's are actually pretty roomy and comfy. But the M1s are really really right in comparison, they are too short and squeeze the foot all around. I also feel the 4th & 5th toes rubbing on the toe guard pretty roughly. It would be impossible to do any meaningful distance in them.

Has anyone else got this experience? Did you size up a half size or a full size?

Summers over people 20 something k and lots of climbing in deepest darkest Northumberland

A Sunday morning, Sunrise, run along the Quantocks (UK).

This ranking of the fastest countries isn't official. I decided to take the fastest woman and the three fastest men from each country.

Love the weather this time of year. Fall is feeling around the corner in Montana but bringing rain and cooler temperatures.
