I just ran my first marathon at Grandmas in MN 2 weeks ago. Finished in 2:57:52. I don't think there is anyway I could run a sub 18 5k, so you should have no problems with the sub 3 marathon.

Wow well done Joshua. I've been racing for 20 years and I've picked up 2 wins (they were pretty small races) but being out in front definitely spurs you on because you feel like you are the hunted. So I am not surprised about the PR. Plus the weather looked nice and cool. I know what you mean about the 5k. Every time I run one I know it's going to hurt from .25 miles in until the end. I don't mind them though; you can do them frequently and they wind up being fun and a great way to meet people. Love seeing the progress you are making and definitely a cool video.

bought it cause everyone hyped it and loved it.. so i gave em a shot. first bought my regular size, but it was kinda tight. bought half size up, was way better. ran 10 miles and my toe next to my pinkie hurt on the middle joint .... well was at the end kinda painful, so i tryed it another days later maybe the upper needed to fit and streched a little. Second run same 10 miles... my complete white shoe was full of blood caused by my toe ... lol well... that was nasty to clean.... i heated it up and streched it with force... now its ok its a "good" shoe if you fit in perfect. but i need kinda little more cushion. love the novablast 4. maybe it gets better after another 20-30 miles

I have wide feet and it’s so tight around my midfoot. I haven’t taken it for a run but it’s hard to see how it will break in enough to be comfortable. Really want to love it but might have to return and see if they drop wides.

I'm not a good runner and I like the SL2 much better than the Boston 12. The latter is very stiff (because of the rods) and I could not really get the full benefit unless I'm really pushing the peace hard. Whereas the SL2 suits me better at a variety of paces.
@joshuaxruns
@joshuaxruns 8 күн бұрын
That’s my favorite part of the sl2 as well. Plates make shoes feel stiff if you are running at slower paces which is never fun. I’m considering the Boston 12 so thank you for that insight.

Thanks so much. Congratulations on your super time. I’m amazed you were able to recover from the pace issue and still scored a PR! 3:11 this early in your running is impressive! Your appreciation for the volunteers is very cool and your positive attitude won the day IMHO.

Crazy times. I can't imagine running something like that in jeans. There is a group that trains on the local bike trail -- and many are youths -- and they usually do the Salt Lake City Half Marathon (or another distance) and some of them are doing their runs in jeans. Fast times and you made it look easy.
