Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Going back to the Streakfly, I do find it funny that it's probably a marathon shoe five years ago.

I have quite a few Baz but many of them that I just don't really want to part with despite them having a lot of miles on the clock. I have some original ZoomFly and some peg turbos each with 700 miles on that I still like to break out for the occasional run.

My thoughts exactly SPR. I was thinking that they look like a fast version of an adidas Boston or Tempo that we all wore back in 2016 / 7.

The thought of a sub 3 tattoo crossed my mind but was quickly dismissed :-)

I have seen a few with "26.2" written on their calf in fairly small writing, then with a tally of how many marathons they've done. Often it may be something like "26.2

"....

The "super-flat" - lower stack, superfoam, full/partial plate, "ideal for 5k/10k" - Nike Streakfly, NB SC Pacer, adidas Takumi Sen 8

Looks like this is the new niche that the shoe comanies are trying to get us to spend our money on.

just google it Gobi and I think you'll be a little shocked....unless you secretly have the tree + 25 volunteer, 50, 100, 250, 500 parkrun milestones 'somewhere' on your body!

and I once stood on the start line of a local 10k and the guy next to me had a full calf tattoo of the London Marathon badge with 3:21 proudly within the ink.

I might be doing him a disservice and it might have been 3:17 but all the same it made me chuckle! He obviously wasn't a good convertor as I ran 37:xx and only just beat him!

(My previous post didn't work. Sometimes it is basically a tally with, say, three lines).
