I think that very much depends on what kind of runner you are. Personally, I would say that an Ironman-distance triathlon is considerably harder than the 50, especially if it's a sea swim or the bike leg is hilly, however it's one of those horses-for-courses thing. This gal would find it much easier than any kind of triathlon  |

Agree with you NE, definitely dependent on what you've trained for/and good at.

You get to sit down in an Ironman for several hours mind I would have drowned long before I got to that bit!

Hoka Challenger ATR v4. Not impressed, the tread on the soles is starting to peel off. I know they had a hard outing yesterday mind.

Long distance shoes that do that are disappointing. Iām going to try some (Hokas) for next years LDWA 100

NE, has Bobs tried the Torrent? Similar fit to the ATR4, but with a more complete outsole. Too much exposed midsole on the ATR for a rocky course like the L100 I think.

I was pleased with how my Speedgoats performed. Bar one very small blister on the side of my heel that I was only aware of on finishing my feet (and shoes) were in a good state at the end and no toenails will be lost. My feet got a bit tender towards the end but I'm not sure that could have been totally avoided given the conditions.
