I think the Universe should be fine then, enjoy it! I haven’t tried the Piranhas, but suspect that they are similar?

I pretty much run exclusively in the Adams and Samsons now. Wore the Universe today-Awesome! Probably Piranhas tomorrow. Look super geeky, but like the firmness. Kinvaras have been abandoned for a while now-except for wearing to Target and stuff.

17 yesterday in Piranhas at 9:14 pace. 13.1 today in Adams w/footbed at 8:49 pace. So far so good. Feet, ankles, knees, everything OK. Need to figure out what gels or salt pills or whatever I need to get through 26 miles.

If you have enough adaptation to a flat, minimally cushioned shoe I don’t see why it wouldn’t be possible. If you we’re doing all of your training in the Kinvara, then the Universe might not be the best choice, but if you’re training mostly in shoe like the Samson then I don’t see it as being as much of an issue. What have you been doing your long runs in?

OK, last post about this. 5 today. Feels fine. Not worried about it.

I attributed it to a speedy 8K race in my snuggish Kinvara 3’s. Ran a half marathon the following week and a 30K today in my GoRun 2’s with no issues. This shoe has been my “savior” and my choice for my May marathon without question.

It’s a favorite word of mine!

Outside of knee could be ITB, glad to hear today went well. Just keep an eye on it!

I’m preparing for my first marathon in a few weeks, but I haven’t had the time to do what you would call “training.” My main focus is on being efficient and pain-free, and I have slowly worked my mileage and speed up in shoes like the Adam and the Samson. My wife got me some Kinvaras for Christmas (upon my suggestion and per your recommendation) in anticipation of a possible spring marathon. They’re OK, but I had to remove the footbed so that the knuckle of my big toe didn’t rub the inside of the shoe. I don’t think I have a “high volume” foot, but they seemed surprisingly tight in the forefoot. I even sized up from my normal 11 to an 11 1/2. I recently ordered a pair of Piranha SP3s and Wave Universe, and they seem perfect–super light and plenty of room in the forefoot, plus more cushioning than what I normally wear. I can’t imagine wanting anything different in a shoe, and I’m seriously considering running in one of them in the marathon. Granted, I’m slow, and don’t anticipate finishing faster than 4:30-4:20, but am I delusional in thinking I can run 26.2 miles in shoes like these?

Another thing about the Kinvara–You’ve said that it’s a neutral shoe without stability elements. It seems to me that there is a bit of anti-pronation structure built into the medial side of the sole. They seem like they want to push my ankles up and in a bit when I wear them. They’re certainly not like the other shoes I mentioned or like my Instincts or my Distance-all of which seem truly without stability elements.

Thanks. Actually do feel a little soreness as the day has progresses on outside of knees. Unusual. Is that the dreaded IT band area? Probably shouldn’t do so much in just 2 days. My plan was to run 20 yesterday. Didn’t quite pan out, so felt the need to go out today and make up for it. Will probably go out tomorrow as well.
