I am planning a full marathon next year around April/May and have just started training. I am lean and would consider myself fit.

I went to an Asics store to test for overpronation...turns out I do have overpronation.

Need recos from this sub on which shoes should I chose for my needs - Asics Gel Kayano 32/31 or Puma Forever Run Nitro 2. I like the energy return feature of the Puma shoes. I am not going to be very fast but aiming for a sub 5 hr timing. I know Kayano 33 are launching soon so will be trying those as well once available in stores.

And should I buy them now itself or halfway into my training, considering that the mileage will be limited and don't want to run the shoes before the main event. Current shoes are Adidas Ultrabounce which seems good for 5-10k runs as per online research.

Hi All

I have tried to search about this but not able to get a clear answer:

- if my FIL has credit card points, is there a way I can use those points by converting to airmiles/hotel points for.my travel/stays

- Is there a restriction on the family members that the points can be transferred to? like can it be transferred only to immediate family members

- Do airlines/hotels allow transfer of points from one member to another

Does anyone know where I can buy Asics Gel Kayano 31 from in Bangalore? I am not able to find it anywhere...the newer 32 series is out of my budget hence looking for the 31 series...I have called all the Asics stores in Bangalore (including the factory outlets) but none of them have this in stock.

Edit: I am looking for options apart from the usual amazon/myntra/nykaa etc as the size I am looking for is not available. Sorry, should have mentioned this initially itself

Does escalating to Axis PNO work like HDFC? I want to complaint about a branch RM who made a false promise about getting M4B card

Recently visited Goa and stayed near Sinquerim beach. was really disappointed to see all the filth in the water and on the beach - plastic all around and all types of junk, broken beer bottles, diapers, ropes and what not. Have been to Goa many times but never seen this kind of filth. And this is not even peak tourist season.

I know it is primarily tourists responsibility to not dump waste on the beach, but is the admin not doing anything to clean up? Maybe the govt can take inspiration from some of the hill stations down south and ban single use plastic altogether.

Is Goa Miles app a reliable option for reserving a morning taxi (5:15 am) for drop to airport? Are there other reliable options?
