Hi I’m new to stability shoes and the video compares EVO SL to 860v14. My question is does 860 look sufficient or should I go with the next tier (Vongo, Hurricane, Kayano etc)? Thank you!
For background I’m between my 1st and 2nd marathon training blocks and for the 1st I was fine with neutral shoes only (~600 miles). I know my feet are flat but I never realized my overpronation is so bad.
Once calf spasm occurs in a race, what is the best course of action?
For context in my 1st marathon recently I went with my goal A pace for the first half and started to feel left calf going to cramp around mile 16 and I started to reduce speed by 30s/mile. From mile 18 it officially started, I had to stop, stretch and run/limp again, for a total of about 14 times until finish.
The root cause is probably a combination of running at a speed over my capacity for the weather and low on electrolytes, and my question is in a race once it starts, would I be better off spending some extra time to stretch, massage and maybe walk, instead of trying to go immediately again? Thank you!
