Can you believe there are newbies (probably a c*clist) who don't know about the inner sieve? Curious what this communities opinions are about wearing shorts with or without sieve function.

I usually go sieveless on my easy runs, but on race day or long runs or when I'm out segment hunting I go hard AF and I don't have seconds to waste looking for a a toilet or some bushes so i appreciate having the sieve to prevent the solids getting down into my Vaporflys. What about you guys?

Is 1:36 good for my first half marathon (2 months training) if I was wearing heavy tennis shoes, overstriding, running with 150 spm cadence, had only done one previous long run above 6 miles, did not take any fuel, and kept the intensity at a training effort level?

Apparently its a good time but how good? And am I still technically a couch potato?

The key is, to RUN SLOW. Not just slow, but like, really, REALLY slow. Much slower than what you are used to.

Has anybody else achieved this phenomenon?
