^^I'm gonna start eating gels half way thru my run to see if it helps out

I can't eat while I run, because I immediately want to vomit. Someone told me to just use the little hot chocolate-sized marshmallows, and I may try that.

I still have a little calf pain when I run. I'm wondering which one would be ideal for me to get to stop the soreness. Or basically they are the same.

Has anyone here been fitted for shoes by a running store and hated the shoes?
I was supposed to use stability shoes, that are all so damn bulky. Used them my first month of training, then randomly bought a super light neutral pair of shoes and have won't look back. Night and day improvement for me, or maybe I've just improved fast, who knows.
Posting this since it might not always be the best for you what the employee's recommend, I saw a lot of info online that shows fitting doesnt always work out as well.
Me! I too need stability shoes but I hated what was recommended (New Balance 860 :x). Appreciated the advice from the guy who fitted me though. Aesthetically I prefer Nike and for comfort I like Asics.

Any recommendations on stability Nike shoes for longer runs? My flyknits feels like the sole is too soft and starts giving. Also doesn't help that I'm on the heavier side

Started running like crazy this month and logged almost 30 miles..that's a lot for someone who hasn't been very active the last 4-5years I'm happy about it
Problem tho I got shin splints. Not sure if it's from shoes or running on uneven trail or both. Or if it's from running too much too fast

I'm at 59.72 for the month. Proud to say I've earned a Gold trophy for this month. I'm currently one mile from hitting another milestone lol...
Maybe one day I'll build enough strength to do one hundred miles a month.

Been working on form rather than speed.
Pretty happy with the results.
Almost done with the first week of the 5k training.
The more I work on my form the less knee pain and shin splints I'm getting.
Hope everyone is getting their goals knocked out. Thanks to everyone who's posting to help the NTrunners stay positive and motivated.
Anyone do any trail running? If so what shoes are you using for that?

I was using Pegs for 5-6 miles, and Flyknit Lunars for longer than that. But I got Lunartempos for my half next month, and the first two runs I've given them have been outstanding.for longer runs. which do you guys prefer more the pegasus or flyknit lunar line
I'm at 141.51 for the month (plus around another 4 on Wednesday that I didn't log). I have a 5 scheduled for tomorrow, and 10 for Tuesday. Probably my last real big month of the year - for the other half marathons I'm going back to the beginner program, and maybe extend some runs on days I feel up to it. The intermediate program is tough.

Yea planning on extending my run past 5 miles from time to time to start prepping myself for the half marathon program

No need, the program does a great job of easing you into it. It wants you to be running 5 per WEEK until you start. Save your legs, because the miles add up quickly.

Running with lunar3s have cause me to have right leg pain 
Same thing happened when I first started running at the start of the spring, with wrong shoes. I guess I shouldn't have tried fixing something that wasn't really broken
Ending this month at 80miles. I'm going to just take a break until at least Saturday, hopefully a full week has me good to go again
