a couple of questions; J Rotten I know you do 100 plus mile weeks. How many miles do you plan on doing in the Kilkennys and I am heavier framed 190 lbs and bought some Type A Sauconys last week and really like them but read many thoughts about not training in too light a shoe. Am I going to get injured if I only do 45 miles per week. Also how does the Kilkenny compare to the type A. One more thing, I'm old and have been training in Grid 7's.
jesus christ the kilkenny is a SPIKE for track and xc racing the Type A is a competition flat. The Grids??? Everything is the Grid just like everything is the "gel", Air or wave.
thank you. I learned something OK, that's the reason I come on here.I'm probably wrong on this to but the only Grid 7's and up I've seen are Hurricane 3D, but like I said I'm trying to figure this shoe thing out; and I will.I still like the Type A's.
Still running in the same pair of Kilkennys to the tune of about 40+ mpw (plus 50-60 in heavy trainers). Shoe has shown no wear to speak of.
Feet feel better and better each week--I have not felt so good in a long time. Calves feel stretched and less knotted, form feels lighter even in heavy shoes.
I am considering either getting another pair of Kilkennys or Nike XC flats and bumping the mileage in flats up to 60% of miles.
you indeed have hurricanes but they are now on the H9 with a new grid unit called pro-grid
How did you transition to them, mileage wise?

actually there is the grid shadow 9. but the point he was making is that too call a pair of saucony shoes 'grid" is like saying i run in the nike airs or the asic gels.
lots of people also say i run in the saucony 3D's, but there are others besides the hurricane.
now when it comes to xc flats, they are pretty much all the same except for the fit. the kilkenny run narrow. if you want wider try the 240 from new balance.
allright, i think i will get a pair of these. i wear a size 11 in all trainers and a 10.5 in all nike spikes. do i need to go with 11.5 or 12 in these?
