Puma may have just blown the racing shoe game wide open. The fastest road racing shoe ever? Review below from Treeline Athlete Robbe Reddinger: https://believeintherun.com/shoe-reviews/puma-fast-r-nitro-elite-3-review/

Elite coach and athlete David Roche was recently on the Rich Roll podcast to discuss his course record win at the Leadville Trail 100. An athlete on the At least one Treeline Athlete and I have already listened to it, but I'll drop it here for anybody else who might find value in it! Discussion topics included: Confidence and taking big risks Heat training strategy Elite 100 mile racing on only 60-75 miles of running per week Recovery and performance nutrition The values of cross training https://www.richroll.com/podcast/david-roche-875/

Buyer beware. It's come out that Spring Energy's popular AwesomeSauce energy gel has sham Nutrition Facts information, and contains approximately one third the claimed caloric and carbohydrate values: https://www.reddit.com/r/Ultramarathon/comments/1c27hzh/false_nutritional_info_on_spring_energy_gels/?share_id=1X7N_0FL4K49n7caW3LMD&utm_content=2&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_source=share&utm_term=4 Verified by reputable sources in nutritional lab analysis. If you choose to use this product, know that you'll need at least twice as much of it as the nutrition information would lead you to believe in order to meet in-run calorie needs.

We had 6 Treeline Athletes out for some big events this past weekend, and 2 the weekend before that. The season is here and all that winter work is coming to fruition. If you've raced in the last couple weeks, what have you learned? I know one athlete learned that as great as the Topo Athletic Mountain Racer 3 is as a trail shoe, for 50+ mile efforts a little more padding under-foot is nice to have.

What's the thing you like to do that helps you get fit or fast as a runner, but isn't the actual running?

It's probably not THE weirdest, but the first half marathon I ran, they were frying up bacon for the several of the aid stations on course... my stomach isn't tough enough to manage that while running yet.

I am a member of the #WideFootFam. My feet are too wide for most shoes on the market in the toebox. For years I ran in Altras, but the Zero Drop thing would bother my Achilles when I was doing a lot of uphill training. I switched to Topo Athletic and have loved them, but wish I had other shoe brands to choose from to cycle in. Does anybody know of any I might be missing? Thanks!
