I spend my life focusing on how I can get to what matters and ultimately what matters to me most is my family. How do I get there? By working every single day to be the best I can be in all aspects of my life. I am continuously looking fo new way to improve both my physical health and mental health through setting goals. Running has become my main focus but overall fitness including endurance training and strength training helps me be a more well rounded athlete

This was a great review. Solid editing. And the part about the family at the end love it dude. Subbed immediately.
Gotta say Matt, been subscribed for a while but I had to comment as you are the only Shoe Tuber from Canada that I know, and as a fellow Canadian (Vancouver, grew up in Ottawa) its refreshing to see a Canucks take! Also I just got back from vacation (camping) a week ago and for the first time I fit in all my running before that fam woke up, but love your take on it! I know you are busy with family and life but I would love to see more frequent content from you! Also love that the last coffee is Timmy's, of course it is!
Most definitely a frog. Nice work staying on top of the running while on vacation
It’s a frog, of course. It has frog legs. While on vacation, I make sure to get my runs in extra early as to not disrupt the family plans, but giving up running while on vacation would be a mistake, as you’d miss the opportunity for new scenery, climate and cultures in a different way.
Oh man... I wish I could have seen your video before I bought the shoe. Same experience here, it feels comfortable when walking but when running, the forefoot area suddenly becomes hard and I don't feel the plushiness or response at all. I'm doing an easy run at 6.5 minutes per Km which I think the shoe is designed for but I don't feel comfortable at all. I wish I could have gone for the NB more V4 or Nike Invincible 3. Great review by the way.
What sort of battery is installed in the control pod - is it li-ion or NiCad or what? Can the battery be replaced? Can spare control pods be purchased? I ask this because it seems such a waste of the whole thing has to be scrapped due to a failing battery.
How does the sizing compare to the V2 model?
Thanks for the info.
Use KZ foam tips, these are perfect , better than those silicon standards !
The best thing with this shoe is that after 500-600 miles, you can wear it for another at least 200 miles walking due to it's upper that looks almost like new.
Exactly what I have ended up doing 👍
Do you think this shoes can handle some HIIT training?
How to order this product
Let’s goooo Matt. Stacking bricks. Day over day, week over week, year over year. Loving the process
Trying. Not a lot of running happening on vacation, not a whole lot of sleep and way too much food. But not stressed over it.
Hope the journey to Europe was smooth and you enjoy your UK visit
Journey to France was pretty smooth. Not much sleep and too much food but hey that’s vacation. Important question is, what do I eat once I get to the UK?
@@WhatMatterstoMatt steak and chips. And curry
Sure you gonna crush that goal. Just need to add those key sessions to make quicker legs, and you have the endurance already. Enjoy the days in Europe ;)
Just Ran a 14.25 Mile Run In Texas Today!!!
Awesome
I did not expect you to be a Nick Bare fan
Lol. I think like lots of folks. Started lifting as a way to get fit. Avoided running. Found Nick. Convinced that I could do both
Hi
thanks for the video. I can't understand one thing in this advanced training plan. if you have two workouts A and B in one day. should you do both or you can choose one of two?
Love it. Thank you for relevant info. Just started to use the Playbook App as well. Transitioning from trail running to hybrid training. Great idea of combining runs with your kid, working on doing the same here in the tropics. And your viewes are amazing !!
I just bought a pair of Triumph 20s after comparing them with Adidas Ultraboost Light, one on each foot. Saucony beats Adidas by far in the cushioning dept!
Someone gave me one of these, and it seems to work pretty good. I damaged the surface of the bone at the top of my tibia jumping down and it does make it feel better. So far.
That is good to hear. Fingers crossed it continues to help you along
Now you need to get the elite version for racing. 😊
😂 I will forward on your suggestion to my wife. She might not be so excited
I have v1, v2, and v3 love them
Very solid daily trainer
Great review. I have the version 2 and will definitely be getting the version 3.
If you liked v2 chances are you are going to like v3👍💪
It’s me Lynnsie from Umes 😂
Piece of s@&$$t. Right earbud volume decreased significantly after 3 days of use and no reset or cleaning helped
Hi Matt! I just arrived in Fredericton and did a nice easy run from south to north side over the the Westmoreland bridge and back over the old rail bridge. It felt great to be back running in the NB fresh air! Take care! John
That is awesome. I have done the loop around those two bridges a load of times. Yesterday I ended up running along the river out towards Lincoln and oromocto. Weather was nice. Maybe got a little windy at time but really can’t complain
@WhatMatterstoMatt We just did 10k. Left the south side and ran 5 k north up the trail to Marysville and then back. One more run tomorrow morning on the trail, then off to Moncton for our flight home (although strike by our mechanics may change that). I really enjoy running here. Reminds me of my youth doing cross country and track. I'll keep following your channel to keep the memories alive!
@@alaskahudson That is another one of the loops I tend to do. Kind of ends up being my go to spot in Fredericton. great to hear you are getting out!
@WhatMatterstoMatt One last 10km run this morning with my partner. Second run in the Clifton 9's I bought at the Running Room in Fredericton. Great run. My WestJet flight was canceled out of Moncton for tomorrow, so we are travelling on Air Canada today. Happy running! I'm doing a 21k trail race in two weeks and a backyard ultra in 3 weeks. Take care! John
@alaskahudson great. Also, somehow I missed replying to another comment you had about being an OHS grad 👨🎓 I graduated from high school there in 2000
1 very useful feature for family/friends, is the LiveTracking option in Garmin. It's the only reason I still own a Garmin. On certain runs, my spouse wants to know where I am (if we're on vacation, a race, a long run, etc). If you turn the feature only, it allows you to put in email addresses for key people, who are then sent a link to your event LiveTracker. And it basically gives them all your metrics in realtime. Once the run is stopped, the link no longer functions. I've converted to an Apple Watch last year, and it's my preferred watch. It's not perfect, but it does provide me much better integration with the Stryd footpod. And it's only mildly annoying to have to wear 2 watches on days I'm told I have to. ;)
Too small, not big enough
Sorry to hear that. Are there other products out there in the market that may work? I’ve not had the chance to look around
between nimbus 25 and 26, which one is more suitable for daily wear?
Honestly I have not run in the nimbus 26 other than trying it on at the store and doing a light jog. From what I can tell with other reviews you probably can’t go wrong with either. If we are talking “daily wear” as in a shoe to both walk and run in, I will say I have used the nimbus 25 as a walking shoe for a long time after retiring it from running. My guess is that the traction in the 26 might be a bit better but some folks felt when running the change in the outsole made it a little “slappy”. In the end you can’t go wrong and I think if you can find the 25 for a good deal then it’s worth it. *remembering that my opinion is based on very little experience in the 26*
It is so hard to run slow
💯 it does seem though that when I convince myself to run those recovery runs and easy runs truly easy, I feel better on the harder days
Matt! I'm headed to my 40th high school reunion in Oromocto next Saturday. I'm bringing my partner who has never been to NB. We will likely be spending a couple of nights in Fredericton before catching our flight home out of Moncton. Any suggestions for a 5-10 km run, probably on the south side of the river? Might even have time for a run in Oromocto. Thanks, John (in BC)
What training program did you use for this race? Was this Garmin or Hal?
I used garmin for that particular marathon. More recently I have been playing around with pfitzinger and Jack Daniel’s plans which have a little bit of a different style/take on how to train vs garmin. Honestly for me it’s mostly trying to be consistent
Watched and reacted to the whole thing. It was embarrassing to witness, will smith doesn’t seem to have any discipline
Matt, I'm genuinely moved by your video. It's beyond exciting to hear that I played a part in your PR. I have to say that pacing you was one of the most positive running experiences I have ever had, and it confirms what I've heard that helping someone achieve their goal can be more gratifying than achieving your own. I expect that others who supported you, such as your family and Tim, feel the same way. Congrats on an exceptional run - we are all excited to see what comes next!
If you’re someone who wears no show socks, just buy some quarter crews. I promise you your ankles are not going to overheat and cost you a single second. 😂
My legs are two large for this unite ans the exstentions don't help.
They are nice. I don’t like them as much as I thought I would, but they are ok. Prefer the Nike invincible 3 and the fresh foam x more
I wanted to get a pair but felt a little bummed out only one colorway is available for men and women. I’m not really a big fan of this neon navy blue. 😅
It's a very interesting shoe, as a pure marathon block KM eater. Assuming that EVA can handle 30+KM runs without feeling flat, should make for a decent product. Can't wait for the longer term update video!
It’s kinda what I had wished I wore yesterday for our run
@@WhatMatterstoMatt Would have been a great test, with the added MP Kms you threw in at the end.
@timtrenholm3698 I know. I think being early in a new training block I wanted to reach for something that was familiar, dependable and I had already taken on a number of long runs
@@WhatMatterstoMatt oh I hear ya, that's why I was wearing the Novablast V3, since I knew I was during pure easy. But even then, I have confidence that NB V3 can handle faster paces if needed, it's just not as fun as the Tempo Next% ;)
The Speed 3/4 midsole bottoms out for me, Neo Vista far superior for all paces up to Marathon pace.
Great post!
Thanks 🙏 👍👏
But. What. Was. The song ?? 🤣
It will forever be buried deep within the depths of my brain 🧠 never to be spoken again 😂
This shoe is a furnace during summer and the midfoot is indeed too narrow for some (like me!). The outsole is also pretty bad on wet pavement. I would get all tensed up while running because I was constantly afraid that I would slip. It ended up causing me a bunch of issues! Didn't bother trying them in the snow.
Saucony Ride 15 Tr,,is the best...
It's great when it all falls into place on race day. I think you've got a lot more inside you with better long-term preparation.
Thanks. I hope you are right. My biggest hurdle is consistency and confidence. Two things I can work on through the summer
Congrats on a great race! I'm excited to see what is next for you. I also crushed my goal of a sub 3:30 this spring with a 3:27:05. As I look to my fall marathon (Detroit Free Press on October 20th) I'm trying to figure out what my goal should be. Like you, I'll be coming into the training block with a lot more confidence after several failed attempts at sub 3:30. Ultimately, I need to figure out my "why" to give myself a chance at a PB.
That is incredible!!! Congrats on the PB!!! Figuring out the why always helps. And I think once you figure out the why you know it because all of the sudden you can find yourself able to push through those hard workouts or races.
Ive been wearing ASICS Women's Gel-Cumulus 26 Running Shoe for years and have to add additional arch support. Do the ASICS Women's Gel-Nimbus 25 Running have similar or better arch support? I’ve seen recently that the ASICS Women's Gel-Kayano
As I said after that 37k workout, you handled my peak long run workout, UNDER hydrated and UNDER fueled. If you had 80g of carbs per hour and were able to get enough hydration on course, I think you could have tagged along with me and Kevin....especially if you couldn't see your HR! ;) I ran with only 1 metric. Power....simplifies everything. I still have an extra Stryd pod rotting in my tech drawer. If you can nail the consistency this training block, you'll break 3:15 at Moncton. You are literally 1 marathon training block behind me on the EXACT same progression. If you want some challenging sunday long runs this summer, let me know. I suspect Roy, Kevin, (probably coach Mike too) and myself will be doing a few. A race/goal is sub 90mins at Fall Classic, and Chicago 3 weeks after will be hopefully a BQ minus 10-15mins.
First off, huge congratulations Matt. You and I have always been so close on pace and ability. You have really inspired me to go for it. Last year I went out at 3:30 pace and honestly I had no business going that fast. I let the day get me to excited and broke my cardinal rule to never ever go out to fast. Needless to say by mile 18 I fell off of pace and was holding on for dear life. I did PR with a 3:38:42. Fast forward to this year. New coach that is local. Done a ton of speed work. Many paces that are close to GMP and many long runs with faster than MP miles. I am now ready. Grandma's Marathon is less than three weeks. Take two at sub 3:30.
That’s exciting!!! Grandma’s has always seemed like it would be a great race. Good luck 🤞 you’re going to crush it 💪👍👏
@@WhatMatterstoMatt when your ready to run it contact me and ill get you set up. The hotel logistics are a pain. But the course is so beautiful. We'd love to see you in Minnesota.
Great video 🏃♂️ i would go crazy listen to the same song for so long 😅
😂 what is so crazy is that I literally can’t remember what the song was. I was that focused on the run I was able to ignore it. But I’m sure the moment I hear it again I will remember 😂
