The Novablast 4 TR could be my entry into this iteration as I don't like any of the launch colours of the standard shoe, just needs a lace swap I think.
The women's cw of the TR is much better than the mens imo.

Usually around 5:10/km (faster without the dog and below 5:30/km with the dog)
I’m around 225 lbs and my knees went through a lot but I usually like something that’s responsive and not too firm. I might give the NB3s a go then!
If needed, these laces from Merrell are nearly the same (sans lace width) as those of the NB4 and VF of old:The Novablast 4 TR could be my entry into this iteration as I don't like any of the launch colours of the standard shoe, just needs a lace swap I think.

Flat Shoe Laces
Flat lace design stays in place, so you can spend more time running. Merrell Replacement Laces are made from premium nylon for long wear and durability.

Does puma have anything that rivals the NB4?

Black laces would SET those OFF right, IMO!
Speaking of laces, I think Saucony’s performance laces are my favorite. They remind me of the old Flyknit Lunar 1 ribbon laces, which were thin and would always become undone. However, Saucony’s version is thicker and more elastic.
Go for it!
Or…. maybe you can try the VaporFly Next 2% or the original AlphaFly Next% if you want to get well below 5:00/km. Those two seem like they’ll provide you with what you prefer and more!

Thanks for the tips! Actually walked into a NB outlet and found the SC Elite V3. I might keep these for the longer runs. I saw that you have these as well, pretty happy with them?

Does anyone own/tried on the Hoka Ora Recovery Slide 3?
After reading a couple of reviews, it seems like they fit big, so going down one size is advised.
I'm usually wearing the Nike Asuna Slide 2s around the house. They're alright... nothing to rave about. Maybe it's time for an upgrade?
I’m so annoyed I missed the rooted sale these were down to $28 could def use some hahaI scooped up a pair for ~$40 shipped from ROOTED. I didn’t really need a new “recovery” slide, but the cw really SOLD me.

Check out the Velocity Nitro 3 when it launches in a few weeks(I think February 1 is the release date). Same kind of use case.

Now that you mention it all of Puma’s lineup sounds like wrestling event names with the “Nitro” moniker attached to each

Never ran with any gels/drink mixes/chews.
Bad idea to start with a marathon race? In the past I usually crash at mile 22 so my nutrition during races were always ignored.

I like Maurten gel with the caffeine in them and my last race I picked up some BPN go gels and those things were awesome.

Haven’t done any with previous halfs/fulls/or training runs 15+ miles.
Wondering if I’m sabotaging myself using it for the first time for a an actual full when I don’t really know my I’ll respond.

Nothing new on race day as they say.
Just try a few out for your training runs and see how your stomach reacts. I’ve never had any issues but everyone is different

even if its a short run and see how it reacts to your body throughout the day even if you're just chillin, just consume one to see
if you dont have a sensitive stomach, most likely you'll be fine but its its just safer to try
