I dont care what people think about my runs . My problem is body image .. trying to cut the weight...... Slowly . I stopped going to park run because of the horrible photos. I follow the "elites" in my local area and I've had heaps of help from them. Nice content +sub

Didn’t like the non gusseted tongue, it slides to the slides a little which is really annoying. Most shoes in this price range have a gusseted tongue, like the Novablast, Nimbus and MagMax. Comfort is excellent though so I was disappointed I had to return them. Brooks have a great returns policy.

Love the intro!

I switched from Boston 12 to Ride 17 as a daily trainer. Liked the foam on the Boston but the hard plastic overlays on the toe box were cutting up my metatarsals. The Ride 17 is reassuringly assured, nothing exciting but a real bread and butter shoe. I've got about 430 miles on mine and feel like I can get another couple of hundred. I might consider getting another pair as they are so reliable and resilient. These can run quicker than their weight suggests but I feel like easy to steady is best but its competent with tempo too.

Comparison is the thief of joy.

I wore my new pair yesterday and experienced Achilles pain on both sides. i did feel as if the DNA tuned midsole created a “ramp” (where midfoot is higher than the heel) which made it harder to go through the transition to forefoot. Going to walk in them for a while and then retest. Fortunately, the store that I bought them from has a good return policy.

I am not spending $200 USD on a pair of shoes. Asics Superblast has the same issue, with great reviews but a sky high price tag. But thanks for the review, maybe I'll get lucky a year from now and find the MAX on an acceptable discount.

2:15 when I tried these on at my local run shop I said those exact words out loud and my buddy who’s the manager and podium finisher at Javalina Jundred last year said the same. I ended up buying a different shoe that day but I’ll be back for this one when I start increasing mileage again.

comparison is the thief of joy

Awesome to see Brooks has finally gotten it together on their foams! The way I go through shoes, I'll probably wait until the next version drops and these get discounted, but definitely intrigued!

Ran my first marathon in a pair of Ghost 12's, and retired the shoe at 750km. Which was a record that took several years to eventually beat. Brooks has had a very niche spot in the market for years with the recreational runner. They have been trying for 3-4 years to break into the performance space, with very limited success. But it seems like they have finally caught up to the market again, atleast in some models. Here's hoping there isn't another massive technological shift that leaves Brooks floundering again.

The comparison thing you said was very relatable. In order to combat that, I went from following like 75 people, to 20. Only people I know and that are on my level, or like 3 total people who are on different levels. This just keeps comparison out of the picture

0:50 I like to draw angry eyebrows on the kraft bears. If I am at anyone’s house and stumble upon their peanut butter jar, chances are in a few days I get a message from them acknowledging the prank

Bro stop thinking so much about you and what other people may think about you. You're over thinking too much. Post your run, or not post. Be done with it and move along.

Great video 😊 It took some time for me to listen to my body instead of thinking about pace and distance on Strava but i love Strava 😅 And looks like the brooks can be a confender to replace my Triumph 22 as an easy cruser 😮

Your content has rly grown on me Matt. Your vids are always full of humility, humbleness, and hard work. Your content as a whole improves consistently too. I think you’ll find big success with the channel this year.

It always shocks me how badly I look running, I look like a broken down old man! I use Strava mostly as a historical record of my running. The good, the bad and definitely some ugly runs. I like to look at data, but I don't let it influence my own running. Otherwise, running with Roy all the time would kill me. When we run easy, it works out that we can find a pace that's balanced for both of us. But when it comes time for workouts, he does his thing, I do mine. Neither me or Roy have anywhere NEAR the life responsibilities you do, which is why we have higher mileage. Do what works for you, and don't let Strava noise dictate your running. It'll steal the joy from it.

Love this video, on a topic that doesn't get discussed enough. Totally agree with most of your points. One other thing to consider with respect to the transparency Strava affords, is its potential for positively impacting one's followers. While it's certainly easy to anticipate how others might view an unsuccessful effort on Strava, I sometimes have to remind myself that a number of followers take inspiration from my posts. It's not always an easy line to straddle, I love it when the influencers like you put it out there for the running world to ponder. Keep putting out the great content, hats off to all you guys training in that COLD weather 🥶!

I never worry about what others will say about my run. If anything, I am glad I did one and cheer them up on their own runs. Running is about freedom, connecting to nature, and doing something I like. It is not checking if someone had a faster pace or ran longer.

Glycerin Max looks awesome, looking forward to the review.

wave a wand over it too. it really works because its on tv like all the great products 8 cannot do without that works. 😨

Been eyeing Ride 17 for daily trainer for my marathon training block. Im M27, 5'9", 158lbs (174cm, 71kg), training 35-42 kpw with Pegasus 39. My longest run is 24km at 6:19/km, 5K PB at 26:15 (5:15/km), and fastest 1K at 3:40/km. Currently aim for sub 1:55 half mara and sub 4:10 marathon. Does it suitable for my figures and can handle 25-35km long runs? Plan to build 2 shoe rotation with Saucony Ride 17/Asics Novablast 5 for daily trainer, and Zoom Fly 6/Saucony Endrophin Pro 4 for long run and race day shoe. Looking for shoe that build like a tank and could rack up 350-400 miles since im on budget.

I have just had mine come yesterday as I have arthritis in my left knee and I have found some benefit from it already

Love the grind and the love for the grind. I’m 34 and about to start my career (finally) and hopefully a family soon. Your balance is something I strive for and I consider you an idol man. Glad I found your channel and I suspect this will grow indefinitely in the future.

Not sure if you know this but chocolate has caffeine. Caffeine has a pretty long half life as well. So I’d probably avoid chocolate in the afternoon, although that chocolate bar looks delicious. I hope your sleep gets better man (or that this stretch of poor sleep was due to holidays and/or poor technology).

pls believe me but my bell don’t wake me up

i caught santa on camera he didn’t notice the camera on the bar we have

Great video! Can I ask what Garmin model did you use?

Wow, you get so little sleep! I notice a big difference in recovery if I get less than 7 hours. I aim to be in bed 8 hours before my alarm is set, to allow for "getting to sleep time" (can't help children duties though, can't really plan for that) You mentioned a few times that you are avoiding caffeine before bed, but you sometimes have cocoa or chocolate (contains cocoa). Cocoa contains caffeine. I starting getting to sleep much more successfully after stopping the habit of late night chocolate. Thanks for sharing, and good luck with your training.

Do triathlon training plans require you to have a multi sport Garmin. Will it work on a watch that has run swim cycle capabilities?

Ah here your sleep schedule is just horrendous. With the amount of training you are doing you are losing so much on recovery due to lack of planning with your sleep.

The sleep tracker is the only bad thing on a garmin. I notice it only keeps up my main sleep it doesn't seem to pick up when I have a short nap 1 to 2 hours, never gets recorded.

If you’re ever having any trouble settling down to sleep you might try a guided progressive relaxation. It has a lot of benefits, but if you do it before sleep it slows down your thoughts and relaxes your mind and body etc. and if you’re still trying to avoid caffeine first thing you could try peppermint tea - mint can help you feel more awake as well.

Which one do you suggest,garmin forerunner 245 or 965

Thank goodness your friend stopped you doubling up with a recovery run😱 or were you joking 😂😂😂

Its a lovely thing to run on Xmas Day🎉

Ya, eating and drinking too close to bed will not help your sleep. My sleep is important, given my age and my mileage I would 100% breakdown FAST if I was sleeping as poorly as you do. I try and get my 8hrs every night and most days I try and sneak in an hour nap if possible. Going to try and not push this sunday. If the weather is nice, we find it's easier to settle into our power bands instead of running harder to stay warm! LOL

You got to bed (and eat) sooooo late, I'm shocked! Can you not get to bed at 9pm? Having been dealing with moderate sleep apnea and now on a CPAP machine and got my 'events' down from 22 an hour to zero, I have been super super conscious of sleep quality. As a 70 yr old runner I wear my Garmin 24 /7 and check my body batterry (which is mainly about HRV) and sleep quality every morning. I've found it very indicative of my energy levels etc. Poor sleep due to apnea events is extremely serious, but also serious for an athlete like yourself, you've gotta get better sleep. PS love the Toblerone idea, but as chocolate is a stimulant, why not eat it before train8ng! Good luck and thanks for a thought provoking video👍

If I wear a 10 in current new balance shoes like the 880 v14 and Rebel V4, should I get a 10 in these as well?

I should probably join you and your friends it’s being hell doing 25k long runs by myself. I have seen Tim a few times we introduce very quickly but never got the change to run with him. I know he’s a good runner. Cheers

Thanks for this clip!

I think at the very least, runners should track protein. It’s easy to pound the carbs and usually get enough. Awesome weight loss journey. I had a similar one. Competing in natty bodybuilding for 5 years. Now I still lift but run more and I feel great.

😂 Garmin has my predictions at around the same time. Certainly don’t think I’ll be knocking 9mins off of that come early May. Congratulations Matt🎉!!

Unfortunately mine says file is empty

I'm 55 and ran PRs in the 5K, 10K, and 15K in 2024 (17:46, 38:05, 59:34). The biggest thing I learned was to enjoy the journey more and become more invested in the success of others around me. I can tell you have that part right, and as long as you do, I believe your running will be successful. Love the channel, keep cranking out the miles and the content!

Me and Roy use the same trail belt which tucks under our jackets which keeps the bottles warm enough. Instinct Reflex belt, amazing belt and can easily be used to run a marathon self-supported without needing aid stations, unless the weather is crazy hot/humid. Being able to combine your hydration/fuel is really convenient and has numerous benefits that massively outweigh the negatives of the added "weight" you are carrying...even when racing.

So minus 14… I guess I have no excuses anymore 😂 hats off, great video, I enjoyed the nutrition deep dive

Like the zero hype approach... An episode about hard days hard and easy days easy... How you do it...

Guys I wanna start running 10km. A day and I’m an absolute noob at running can anyone give me tips to prevent injury?

Is the saucony guide 17 a stability version of the ride 17?
