I think the feature I would be most interested in with premium would be the ability to edit a workout. Would be nice for either runs or races where something is off/missed for one reason or another. I am also probably more interested in that feature since I have an Apple Watch.

 

Not being able to edit is insane. It drives me nuts.

 

Didn't do a lot of running in 2024 after doing 2 x fulls in 2023 (one of which being a half one day and the full the next) but I’m back into it this year and doing Sydney on 31 Aug - first year of it being a major, I couldn’t not do it. Did 30km (18 miles) this morning and feeling good.

 

Felt relevant to the thread

 

Wolaco is running an End of Season Mystery Sale

I bought their sprint half tight and distance half tight to try a few months back and love them. As a big thigh guy, they really help keep all the chafing to a minimum. Just put in for two mystery shorts and two mystery pants, used a Welcome15 discount code, and got all four for less than one normal pair of pants.

 

have been able to run the most consistent I have in years after dealing with a torn MCL and goddamn does it feel good to be back out there

 

Not sure if anyone else has ran the MCM, but the changes they announced for this year are brutal. Definitely glad I didn't try to run it again this year. There was already no spectators at the starting line last year because it's at the Pentagon, but they closed the finish line and the finish line festival to everyone but runners this year. It's like a mile walk to the nearest metro from the finish line, too. Doing all that solo, post race, with no one at the end to celebrate with is terrible.

 

My dad has fond memories of doing that race a few times. Obviously a much different race and situation back in the late 90s to 2010s. Those changes sound pretty terrible. There was already no desire to go to DC with everything going on since January. I do feel bad for the race organizers trying to put this race on with the current administration.

 

Sydney marathon tomorrow with 35,000 of my nearest and dearest!

 

Rough day! I’ve had a niggle in my foot which I was hoping would be ok. Became too much around the 30km mark. Could’ve quit but persevered and walked the rest. Except for the final 300m - always sprint the finish!

Now for a month in the US on Wednesday!
