Why do runners sign with a company that makes crap shoes?
Puma, Reebok, Under Armor, all make crap. It’s just a matter of time.
You would too if these companies were paying you A LOT more than Nike, Adidas, etc.

Puma and Reebok aren't as bad as they used to be. They've improved a lot.

Brandt is getting paid by UA but he is also working full-time. Perhaps he isn't getting paid A LOT more than Nike, Adidas, etc. would have paid him. Maybe the shoes lead to his injury as well.

re: ebethbrgthyh

Brandt has a nice contract. He works because what the he wants to have a life/career after running. Not to make ends meet.

Prob injured because he was doing some insane workouts from what I could tell on Strava.

Too much pounding concrete in the DC area.

Brandt just posted on Strava that someone started a LetsRun thread about him. Maybe he’ll take our advice about getting off the Crete

Those Georgetown guys are always running the C&O towpath. That's dirt. So what the heck??
go look at his Strava. Brandt lives in Rosslyn and does a decent amount of C&O towpath miles, but he also does A LOT of miles on the roads. He also lives near Teddy Roosevelt island and NEEDS to do miles there. If you do it right, you can do 8-10 miles on Teddy R without getting bored. If he wants to prevent further stress reactions, he should replace about 20 miles a week of his road miles with Teddy R miles, and maybe bring down his overall mileage by 5-10 miles a week. Better to get to the starting line a tad undertrained than not at all

You can’t do more than 5 miles on Teddy Roosevelt without getting bored. That and the tow path are the best soft surface options that are right near Rosslyn with Beach Drive also being fairly close (and has dirt paths on the side of the trail). W&OD can also be good but further away.

Teddy R: two laps in one direction , two laps in opposite direction, then a few figure 8s and that’s 8 miles right there and a fun day of running

re: Emily Swatches

On Brandt’s Strava today he’s already back to running. What?! After a sacrum stress reaction?!?!
