Thanks guys! I'm usually out for a good 2-3hours. There are a few factors that'll effect the finishing time though…. The elevation, terrain and weather conditions.
Elevation. You might have to suck in some air.... But the summits are worth it.
Terrain. I try to run most of it but in certain areas you'll have to chug the whole way up with hands on your knees or scramble a weeee bit. Trails in NY can vary, whether it be rocky, super super smooth.... But sometimes I might have to cross a "stream" cause the bridge is out. That's where footwear comes into play. I prefer trail runners that drain water fast. Ie new balance minimus line or the new ones I acquired, la sportiva anakondas
Weather. Sunny days can be great.... But it'll effect how frequently you'd have to rehydrate and eat. Winter time is my all time favorite however. Soft snow and slush will require you to expend more energy trying to get through the area but super smooth packed snow is by far the easiest to travel through. A combination of snow packed trails and micro spikes, you'll be coasting! Plus when there is snow and you need to refill your water bottles.... Just scoop up some snow inside and you'd be good to go!
stay tuned.... planning a trip up to Mohonk/Minnewaska

I have no idea what that means Bags, when you're talking to me you need to pretend that I'm from a different country/ planet

I am slightly scared/ curious and flattered that you imagine me in a track suit.

I know it has been said but gav you are looking fit!

Thank you, I feel much fitter. Although today I feel like I have the legs of a 90 year old.

I suppose that would match your liver.

so, after 3weeks of no sports cuz of my insured knee, i thought it was about time to finally get my ass up again and start to get ripped for summer!
started with a nice 40min. run this morning (sth. like 7-8km) and it was awesome…gonna go for a run every 2nd day now.
think i need new running shoes though...any suggestions? "affordable" is my 2nd name

I was expecting hair line…....but not from you.
I was initially going to go with sexual prowess, but I figured that would be too easy.

^Worst chat up line ever.

The more active you run, the less cushion you need. One could even argue that you don´t need much of a shoe if your running form is good and your muscles and filaments are adapted to that style of running.
Obviously you should buy a shoe that fits you. Mizuno for example uses wide lasts, Adidas and Nike tend to be narrow. The more important question is if you want to go for a heavily cushioned shoe with a high heel-to-toe drop that fosters a passive running form or try to improve your technique with a flat shoe (don´t go immediately over the top with those).
Don´t let people tell you that you need a certain amount of cushion because your total weight is more than x kg. It´s all about technique and adaption. In the long run active running is better for your ligaments.
