that's crazy AF.

was on work experience with a physio/pt who was treating a guy with MS and was still running marathons - not to her level though!

impacted anal gland, sounds damn painful! hope he gets better quick

if nothing else, having mega sore glutes is cool because it makes you conciously aware of their activation all the way through the day, from getting out of bed to hitting the squat rack...and glute activation is always welcome.

like when i have sore VMOs, my knee's always feel better

I literally cannot find a pair of these anywhere!!

in regards to the 5mm drop i mean, it's intersting...if you look at 5mm its so small...you wonder how much of an impact that could have? but i have seen people saying going form 0 to 4mm changed stuff so i dunno? 4-5mm drop stuff seems to be way more popular than zero, i mean most of the new balance minimus are 4mm.

although i literally can't find a UK stockist of the v2 5000s anywhere - don't understand! i'd have to ship them from the U.S. which i imagine would make it pretty expensive, so kind of leaning towards either the NB minimus trail or Merrel trail gloves at this point 

easily my favorite shoes to run in, ever.

here's a few pics of how my nb 5000 v2's have held up after 600+ miles:









Is that not ridiculous, for 3.6 oz shoes? Those little grip gears on the bottom of the shoe, mostly look new. The only missing pieces of grip seem to be on my left shoe where perhaps my heel has gotten more work, OR, due to jumping. Because prior to jumping I only had a few of the pieces of grip missing on my left shoe. The shoes themselves look like they've held up quite well imho. The grip on my XC flats (NB, SAUCONY) is nowhere near as new looking/feeling as these, and they have ~half of the volume.

These things are built like tanks. They feel so strong/sturdy even after all of this mileage.

just epic shoes.. can't praise them enough.

NB makes good stuff.

ah awesome! after looking at pics of them new i thought they would shred up so fast but it appears not! would the grip be enough for xc/trail or would you stick to road/track stuff? i imagine they feel pretty good to walk around in with the extra cushioning over more minimalist models? gonna try find some over here, maybe a new balance outlet or something in the city might have some.

crazy they aren't more popular

not a vid but not worth a new thread..

Just stuff that might or might not answer your question.

ah awesome thanks, i've read one of those before - it makes so much sense.

1) If you’re prone to turn your squat into a good morning, these findings throw another potential culprit into the mix – your glutes.  Since they can contribute to knee extension via the rectus femoris, if you’re unable to produce enough knee extension torque to come up out of the bottom of a squat without your back angle relative to the ground decreasing (hips rising faster than the bar), they could potentially be to blame.

i have no idea what this means 'glutes can conribute to knee extension via the rectus femoris?' what? lost me there
