Feel the Miles Fly By | Hoka Cielo X1 Review

- Run like Hermes in the new Cielo X1 from Hoka. The midsole comes alive like a race horse flying out of the gate. It has such an energetic bounce that it made me laugh the first time I ran in these. The Cielo X1 aren't the lightest race day shoe, or look the fastest, but it's certainly the most fun by far.

Nice one, your videos are continuously getting better each time. Congrats on deciding to take on the marathon distance - I'll be following your training updates, good luck!
Thank you! I had a minor setback with an injury, but I'm hoping I can get back onto my training schedule.
Dude. See ya at the marathon!
Nice! See you there!
Keep it up. Doing great and I'm definitely following. As for the shoe I'm eyeing it for now, looking for a cushioned tempo/interval shoe when those runs become just a slog, like during the middle to end of my training. I do both weightlifting and running 4-6 days a week and am trying to keep hard days hard and easy days easy. So like leg days would also be interval/tempo days and faster easy run day before long run would also be a mix lower upper day in the gym. I'm starting to rely on cushioned shoes than the typical daily trainer as I find it less fatiguing and can still keep following the schedule when not fully recovered before rest days. I have the hyperion tempo and it's fine but I do feel the firmer midsole becomes harsh when I'm deeper into my training so I usually cut back the pace or sets on leg days.
It's really a fantastic shoe for tempo and intervals. It's great that you're doing weight training, too. I recently understood the importance of strength and conditioning. I got a minor injury a couple weeks ago and I'm pretty sure it's because I haven't done any weights. I'm still not back to 100% of training schedule. But I'm definitely adding 1-2 days of s&c going forward. Keep up the good work!
@@writeorrun How did you get injured? Maybe you've pushed too hard? Sometimes it doesn't feel like you've pushed hard, the fatigue just accumulates without you feeling it and the body is good at adapting so you won't feel it. I had to stop recently as well, gladly no injury but it was like I'm injured coz I'm doing something crazy like bodybuilding and running feeling like 200% on 100% each but in actuality is just divided to 50/50. If I was smart about it, I would have known I was being a jack of all trades master of none, gains slower on both and I should have been patient about it but I did push harder, I kept pushing hard and it was too quick for me and it was all sudden, running gait was off like I don't know how to run, I can't lift my normal weight even decreased reps and weight I would even be tired after a few sets. I was stupid to keep going even with the decrease in performance and on the last day I planned for a slow long run with a bad gait, my calf went off, my knee buckled so I fell. It was a month's rest after that. Now I'm sticking to taking it slow, like dialling back down the reps/weight, distance, pace while at 4-6 days a week for both with slight gradual increases per week or two weeks, sometimes rest a few days. It doesn't feel like I'm pushing hard but is better at improving slowly and gradually.
There is a better approach if overall you're just focused on running with adding weight training to your overall training unlike mine and these hybrid athlete influencers. Most advice I found is you can do maintenance for lifts only and have running as a priority. Lifting is just supplementing your running and if managing time is hard on some days/weeks then you just cut or stop the lifts and not sacrifice running. Like doing 70/30 or 80/20. That way you won't slack on lifts, you can and have to max out on those but won't worry about it getting in the way since it's only minimum 2 days a week with only the important lifts to help your running.
Thanks for asking. I ended up with a lower back injury. I had bad one about 2 years ago and since then I would stretch for 15min the days I ran. But I had stopped doing that for about 3 weeks prior to getting my latest back injury. I also started upping my mileage because I'm getting ready to run a marathon and I think it was too much for my body.
Thankfully, after about a week of doing nothing I'm back to running now. I'm still not exactly where I left off, but I'm not in a hurry because the last thing I want to do is get injured again before my marathon, which his in about 8 weeks.
I think rest/sleep is crucial to not getting injured. My schedule is to run 5 days/wk, but it's still difficult getting enough sleep when you have kids. lol.
Thanks for the advice. And don't forget to listen to your body when you feel like something is slightly off. That's definitely a sign to take it easy. I keep reminding myself that life is like a marathon. You have to play the long game.
@@writeorrun Glad you've recovered, probably was due to upping your mileage hope it won't come back and get worse. Same with my friend who does triathlons and also had a back injury. Because of him I stopped doing deadlifts, keeping squats and rdl's which are enough spinal load already especially with the impact forces on running. I'm following him adding some core work to keep it tight and protect my back as well. Anyway, goodluck on your upcoming marathon.
