You wouldn't do that! But I think you need to run a straight 5k course that has some competition for you! You may break 18 then! 🎉 Nice racing still, but get up on the kids in front of you and dont let them go Mr. Young Master!! 💪💪 and oh yeah... strava didnt give you a 5k pb soo... nice 4900m race! 😉😁

When I think a PB is in the cards, I intentionally setup my Garmin w/ Pace Pro for the exact race distance. So even if the course is short, I'll run through the finish line until my watch beeps. That way my PB is "officially" captured in Garmin Connect

Three Body Problem: Otherwise known as the SC Trainaaahhh V3. Or, as I like to say the 1080 V13, SC Trainer V2 & Rebel V4 decided to have a Ménage à trois at a marathon major, thus the SC Trainer V3 was born.

Novablast OG was a great shoe and had a fun ride. I tried all the subsequent versions and was not satisfied with the ride. OG was also a very durable shoe. The outsole rubber was still complete at 450 miles when I retired the shoe. Few shoes give me that mileage with my gait (wear out lateral heels) At least v3 was a lighter shoe. V4 is overbuild and the Blast+ Eco foam is a very dull foam vs the original Blast which was more energetic giving back the energy put into compressing the shoe. I sink in V4, it protects my foot but have to work to pick up my feet. Asics in the great wisdom turned Novablast into another Nimbus. Personally, I found Cumulus 26 as a more responsive shoe than Novablast 4. Maybe Tri-Noosa 16 is an ASICS alternative as well. I am hearing good things about that shoe. Other brands have better choices now. Adidas Adizero SL2 is a fun shoe at even lower price point than Novablast 4, gives me some of the vibes of Novablast OG. I also liked Mach 6 in my demo test run, bouncy easy to pick up shoe.
@MidLifeRunner
@MidLifeRunner 3 күн бұрын
Yeah I like more of the minimal shoes (prefer). I love the tri noosa 14. I like the rebel v3 and am hopeful the sl2 is like that. I haven’t given the gel nimbus a go or cumulus in years. I do wish they would return the Novablast more like the 1. But it seems they’re getting away from that. Magic speed got more structured too

You definitely need to get the Adidas Adizero SL2 considering how much you like the Takumi Sen. the SL2 has a lot of similar feel underfoot to the Sen but in a daily trainer type setup. The first run out of the box can feel a little “chaotic” with how soft and bouncy the midsole is. After that, the shoe breaks in really nicely and feels great at a wide range of paces. It has exceeded my high expectations I had for the shoe. Also, if you are an Adidas AdiClub member, you could trade in points for a voucher for a percentage off full price items. I traded in points for a 30% off voucher and got the SL2 for $91 on release morning (roughly an hour after going on sale).

Actually checked. I have 1,482 miles in V2s. 1,259 miles in V3s. 28 miles in V4s. (8 total shoes there) Thus far I've been really disappointed with the V4s. Feel so sluggish, but couldn't find anymore 3s. The 2s I appreciated because I could hit 400 miles in them without the outsole disappearing, but the 3s were the only ones I felt good about 20 miles easy or adding in 5 steady with the running group.
