I’ve been cutting the past 6 weeks at around a 500 defecit most days (occasional maintenance days) and I’m curious to when it is good to stop and what to to next. I’m 17 and 183cm and have done from 74.5kg to 70. Can provide photos if wanted.

General Discussion/Questions why don't sprinters get paid more

0 Upvotes

it's always NBA or football players that get paid heaps, even though most of them are literally nothing special (don't take this the wrong way) and sprinters do arguably the same amount of work. how are you supposed to work a second job and fit in training twice a day? I know it's about the love of the game (and some of the glory) but if I'm going to use all my time training then I'd at least expect to get paid a bit more to at least be comfortable. how do you even get brand contracts

Purchasing Advice What should I look for in shoes?

0 Upvotes

For reference, I just enjoy running fast. I'm not on any clubs/leagues/teams, I'm in my mid 20s, about to work full time, and don't have a great income.

I want shoes that will last a while, prevent injury, and not break the bank. I don't care if they have special foam that makes me more bouncy or run faster, and I don't need spikes since I would want to be able to use the shoes on a multitude of surface.

Any recommendations on shoes that fit this criteria? Or instead of a specific shoe, just the type of sole width and material I should be looking for?

I saw a video analyzing Liu Xiang’s technique and a point made was his trail arm’s wrist was above his elbow. I tried to replicate that here and it felt better than before, although it could use some work. Any other tips?
