How’s your week of running going? Got any Complaints? Anything to add as a Confession? How about any Uncomplaints?
Hi everyone
Have been running for 10+ years really. Longer distances (marathons) last 5 years. Pretty much lived in big heel drop shoes - asics and Hoka. Can’t remember which ones but big sponge heels!
I’ve been reading more about how having your heel
Elevated isn’t that great for running and can cause injuries, it does make sense, and having the soft huge shoe can also cause injuries and your feet turn to mush. Maybe this is dramatic but am often plagued with injuries so thought it could be worth a shot.
Anyone done this and can share their experience? If so what’s a good mid heel shoe to drop down to?
I know not to rush as switching to a flat shoe will cause even more injuries
For more context I am currently not able to run due to shin splints, back running in October and then will start training for an ultra in spring 2027

Back once again for everything you wanted to know about running but were afraid to ask.
Rules of the Road:
This is inspired by eric_twinge's fine work in r/fitness .
Upvote either good or stupid questions. Sort questions by new so that they get some love.
To the more experienced runnitors, if something is a good question or answer, add it to the FAQ.
Post your question - stupid or otherwise - here to get an answer - stupid or otherwise. Anyone can post a question and the community as a whole is invited and encouraged to provide an answer. Many questions get submitted late each week that don't get a lot of action, so if your question didn't get answered, feel free to post it again.
As always, be sure to read the FAQ first. Also, there's a handy-dandy search bar to your right, and if you didn't know, you can also use Google to search runnit by using the limiter "site:reddit.com r/running ".
Be sure to check back often as questions get posted throughout the day. Sort comments by "new" to be sure the newer questions get some love as well.

Hi everyone,
I'm looking to buy a pair of Saucony Hurricane 25 (standard width - D).
I went to a few different stores and tried on the exact same model—same colorway, same size, and even the same production date on the inner tag.
However, each pair felt noticeably different on my feet! One pair was super comfortable, while two others felt off / less comfortable.
Has anyone experienced this before? Is manufacturing variation between identical pairs normal, or could something else be going on? Thanks!
I've been running through a hot summer and every workout this month has been slower than the same workout in May, sometimes by 40 seconds a mile at the same effort. i know heat costs you pace in the moment. What I can't tell is whether the training itself is still doing something or whether I've spent two months maintaining at best.
For the people who've trained through a lot of summers, what did you see when the temperature finally dropped?

Then what are you waiting for? Tell us all about yourself!
The LW thread is an invitation to get more involved with the /r/running community.
New to the sub in general? Welcome! Let us know more about yourself!
It's that time of week already...the gear thread! What have you picked up lately? What's working for you now that it's whatever season you believe it to be in your particular location? What have you put through rigorous testing that's proved worthy of use? We want to know!
To clear up some confusion: We’re not actually asking what you’re wearing today. It’s just a catchy name for the thread. This is the weekly gear discussion thread, so discuss gear!

Howdy ho runners!
How was the weekend? What's good this week? Who else is counting down the days til fall when the humidity *might* break?? Let's chat about it!
Shoes are a big topic in this sub, so in an effort to condense and collect some of these posts, we're introducing Shoesday Tuesday! Similar to Wednesday's gear thread, but focusing on shoes.
What’ve you been wearing on your feet? Anything fun added to the rotation? Got a review of a new release? Questions about a pair that’s caught your eye? Here's the place to discuss.

Rules of the Road
Anyone is welcome to participate and share your ideas, plans, diet, and nutrition plans.
Promote good discussion. Simply downvoting because you disagree with someone's ideas is BAD. Instead, let them know why you disagree with them.
Provide sources if possible. However, anecdotes and "broscience" can lead to good discussion, and are welcome here as long as they are labeled as such.
Feel free to talk about anything diet or nutrition related.
