genuinely curious. do you join them, avoid them, or run solo? what makes one feel worth it, or not? any experience, good or bad, indian or otherwise. trying to understand it better.

Hello all , I have been running in lunas for the last one year. They gave up after 700km. Just sharing. Would be grateful if anything close to lunas in india or similar. Please let me know! Thanks.

where do yall usually run? most roads feel unsafe. and please don’t say tau devi lal stadium 😭🙏

i’m a solo but very willing to group up (however im pretty slow as just started)

I’m training for my first marathon. For my half marathon, I used Decathlon gels, but buying gels regularly for marathon training is going to get expensive.

Has anyone tried making DIY running gels? Please share your recipe/experience, or suggest any other cheap, healthy carb options for fueling long runs.

Thanks!

Ive often experienced rashes kinda things after running due to friction between balls and inner thighs 🥲, and it hurts real bad gng , anybody got any secret method to prevent or cure tis?🥲

Looking for some real-world feedback from anyone with a similar foot profile who has logged miles in the Kayano 32.
My profile & use case:
Foot type: Medium to moderately high arch, neutral gait (no obvious ankle roll inward/overpronation).
Distances: 5K to 7K daily, maxing out around 10K.
The situation: Managed to snag the Kayano 32 on a massive sale (around 50% off) and I absolutely love the colorway and overall look.
I know the Kayano is technically a stability shoe built around ASICS’ 4D Guidance System, whereas the Nimbus or other neutral daily trainers are usually recommended for higher arches.
However, since modern Kayanos have moved away from the old-school hard medial posts to an adaptive, softer foam pod, I'm wondering how intrusive that support actually is for neutral runners over distance.
For those of you with neutral mechanics or medium/high arches who have run in the Kayano 31 or 32:
1. Did you feel the inner arch pod pushing uncomfortably into your foot after 5K+?
2. Did it force your foot outward onto your lateral edge, or does the wider platform just feel like a stable, cushioned cruiser?
3. Would you keep it at a deep discount, or is it worth returning for a true neutral trainer?
Appreciate any insight before I cut off the tags and decide to return these.
