Last week I added in all my bikes and I thought this week I would show off my shoe collection. I am not really that religious about brands, but I do seem to have a few running shoes in my rotation at any point in time. The picture above I think it includes all of them. Currently I am wearing a lot of Topo Athletic shoes...I like the minimal drop, but they still have a little cusioning, and I wear them constantly.

• Inov 8 trail shoes. I don't do a lot of trail runs but when I do, these are the shoes I usually have on. They do a good job in muddy and rocky conditions and they are pretty comfortable on longer trail runs as well.

• ASICS Gel Noosa. These are the shoes I usually race triathlons with. Stretchy laces to get on easily after a bike ride and they are cushioned enough for longer races as well.

• Xero Shoes. Very minimal and zero drop, I use these when I know I am doing a lot of walking for the day, but usually don't do any running with these shoes.

• General Training and Run Racing Shoes. Three pairs of Topo Athletic Magnafly, one pair of Topo Athletic ST-3 zero drop, Altra Torrin 5, Altra(Not sure the type), Hoka Bondi. Depending on how I am feeling, I will usually just grab what is there. For racing and training it will usually be one of the Topo Athletic running shoes on most occasions.

  

A lot there and I usually get shoes when they are on sale or discounted, and wear them until they fall apart so I usually accumulate a lot. I have actually had a lot more at some points in time. There are no real super shoes in there. I don't have anything against super shoes but I kinda figure I still have a lot more work to do on my endurance and strength to improve my race times. Maybe when I have exhausted all other options, I will look into them. They seem to be a lot more expensive than the shoes I usually go for as well.

Strava Activities For The Week Ending: 2023-06-05

Still a lot happening this past week. After a month of racing, I need to slow down a little as I am feeling a little sluggish at the moment.
