1 year ago? No chance.
Now? 10k is light work.
A lot can change in a year if you are consistent.

Imagine being so fit that if someone asked you to run a 10k right now, you could do it without a second thought.

@Szut 6’2” and 200. I was 225 when I started running.

@Michaelfiore nice. how tall/heavy? I'm 6'5" and 240lbs and when I switched to this (much more cushion than my previous ones) I had the same feeling as what you described. the cushion helps a lot. I just ran my first 10 mi last week!
they're getting worn out though so I need to change them

Since running shoes with thick foam are trending right now, I’ll tell you what I think of these as a recreational runner.
I’ve had them 2 months now, ran about 80 miles in them so far.
I wear these ONLY when I run because not only do they look goofy, but they’re also awkward to walk in. The thick foam and rocker design feels unstable when walking.
However, everything changes when you actually run in them. The shock absorption is insane and it feels like they propel you forward. Easier on the joints too.
I accidentally ran in my old Brooks the other day (Glycerin 22) and the difference was insane. I hated how my old ones felt by comparison even though I had previously ran a few hundred miles in them comfortably.
I’m also taller and heavier than most runners, so I think this style of extra foam will be my go-to from now on.

New running shoes and, yes, I’m showing you my ankle for free. Bout to take them for a spin, will report back.
English
@SimonRakosnik That’s pretty smart actually. I have dedicated trail running shoes for that purpose.
English
@Michaelfiore Moving from barefoot to max cushioning, its an interresting experience. My lineup - barefoot trail shoes for forrest and soft ground, goofies for pavement!
English
@CorinCole I would say not worth it right off the bat, start running/walking with what you have, then as you build up to longer distances you can upgrade your shoes.
English
@Michaelfiore Are they worth using for someone who isn't current into running, and would like to slowly get into it without putting stress on joints?
And is there a consensus on the best fairly cheap pair?
English
@lcald67 @GeekyGarden Glad you found what works for you!
English
@Michaelfiore @GeekyGarden Its all I run in. I used to suffer from knee pain and shin splints. When I first saw these I thought it was a gimmick. Turns out they force you to run the way nature intended. Knee and shin problem gone! Fastest men in the world come from a place where they grow up without shoes.
English
@ForexNChill Most people get 300-500 miles from a pair of good running shoes.
English
@Michaelfiore How are you running a few hundred miles in sneakers without destroying them?

English
@Michaelfiore TLDR: they’re the climbing shoes of the running world. Cool.
English
When I wore cheap shoes with poor arch support, I would get plantar fasciitis. I wasn’t even running during those years, I would get it from being on my feet all day at work.
Since switching to more cushioned shoes with better arch support, it went away completely.
English
High stack running shoes need compression to feel good.
During running, you put around 2.5x your body weight in force into the shoe, compressing the foam enough to feel comfortable, cushioned and yet relatively stable.
During walking, you put around 1.1x your body weight in force into the shoe and therefore you are not compressing the shoe enough, making it awkward and wobbly to walk in.
That's why high stack shoes (and carbon racers) suck to walk in because the foam is not compressed enough.
This also means that comfortable running shoes ≠ comfortable walking shoes and the other way around.

@wbridgefa If you have a running store near you where they scan your foot and check your fit, those are pretty great.
English
@Michaelfiore I’m 214 and rucking, about to get back into running. I’ll consider these now. Thanks.
English
@Michaelfiore I have heard that it's best not to just run in these. But to use them only when you want extreme results speed. It might hurt your running if you use them for each and every run. This is at least what the coach said
English
@Michaelfiore Yes, but you also have to replace them more often. They feel dead after about 3 months or 200 miles
English
@adamhuver I can’t lift in running shoes. Feels so unstable on squat and deadlift.
English
@Michaelfiore I saw a guy working out in the nike alphas the other day. He looked goofy as hell.
English
@JamesRuport Feels more springy than the 23 for sure plus gets you from heel to toe quickly.
English
@Michaelfiore I love my glycerin 22, what differences are there? Looks like it had the forward rocker on the ball of the foot, does it feel as springy?
English
@JasperMSMKT Not sure, I’m not like a serious runner that’s tried a bunch of brands.
English
@Michaelfiore Is it similar to Hoka? They started the rocker design but some people complained and they toned it down.
English
@harms_daniel Yes. Big difference. Felt odd at first.
English
@Michaelfiore Big Brooks Glycerine fan here. Haven’t heard of/seen the Max version. Really that big of a difference between a fresh pair of baseline Glycerine?
English
@StDog8 I think everyone is different in what works for them. I used to have plantar fasciitis and since switching to better cushioned shoes with arch support it has gone away completely.
English
@Michaelfiore The other trend is 'zero' something shoes, that have a very thin sole and a wide toe box. Their proponents say thickly padded shoes restrict circulation and cause discomfort and disorders.
