Like this style of video - with outdoor footage

[@supwell]

thank you! i'll be doing more like this

[@briantimson1397]

Lovely colourway ❤

[@redochua]

Relieved when you mentioned it runs long on the toe box. Im used to the Pro 3s and those are snug as hell. These on the other hand fits a lot different. I guess it will take getting used to.

Short window for recovery protein appears to be a myth, given recent studies (which I'm too lazy to cite here). But love the content and there's no harm in having it right away!

[@supwell]

thank you! and yeah my general rule of thumb is to get the carbs in right away to replenish glycogen stores and then i can wait as long as 2 to 3 hours if needed for the solid meal with the protein. for me i notice the biggest difference in immediate recovery (i.e., mood and energy) if i get the carbs in within 20 to 30 minutes post-run. that's why i love the tailwind recovery mix - it has carbs, fat and protein

[@BiDiNFitness]

Feeling wise the protein “+” carbs brings me back to life esp on those tough work outs & gets recovery on the roll💪

I am going to buy another pair in half a size less, however the shoe is fantastic, light with great response and long lasting.

[@that_which_is_not]

I have to do a runners knot with my Adidas Duramo Speed. The upper looks very similar to this. The heel is lower than other shoes and i have to really lace carefully to zap heal lift

[@supwell]

yeah this was a tricky one to lace. thanks for the tip

[@speedworkendurance2091]

It gets better as you run in it i about 100-150 in mine most runs are aerobic with some strides and hill sprints haven’t really opened it up in them yet

[@supwell]

Nice good to know. It was definitely a bit stiff especially in the heel area on that first run

[@aidanhanley4412]

Have you ever tried mcalpine creek greenway? It has a great 5k course as well as miles of greenway

[@supwell]

Yeah I love that greenway! The stretch in the center is great for doing intervals since it's so flat. Just gotta avoid the goose poop near the pond 😂

[@gorane87]

Once you figure lacing it is great! You need at least 20km to break them... the longer your run is the better it gets... really awsome shoe, i love it!

[@supwell]

thanks for the tip! i went for a 14 miler this weekend in these and i saw the appeal a little bit more at the beginning of the run. i faded towards the end but it's my fault not the shoes lol

[@cesarzoghbi4695]

I have the Boston 12, it is fantastic but the last is quite big, I recommend ordering half a size smaller and even a size smaller if your foot is thin or normal, the tongue is short and very thin,

[@supwell]

yeah i'm glad i didn't size up like i had planned to. the fit is quite generous

[@TomCantu-q2x]

I’ve owned a pair for a month now. It gets softer as it breaks in in a good way. I’m still unable to get the perfect lockdown without suffering lace bite. Any suggestions are appreciated. It’s a good shoe.

[@supwell]

One of the other commenters mentioned he fixed it by getting regular (softer) laces from Amazon. Might be worth a try for solving that lace bite for you. You can even switch in laces from an older pair of shoes

[@Cellularsurfer]

Lockdown was awful for me as well. I purchased normal laces of Amazon and it fixed any issues

[@supwell]

Thanks for the tip. May have to try that out

[@craver3d278]

Where are your favorite run spots in charlotte, i'm always looking for more. The greenway is nice!

[@bubbie23jw]

Is that hidden valley in Charlotte??

[@speedworkendurance2091]

Love that cyan color way

[@supwell]

My favorite colorway of the year

[@JoeFleegel]

Like you the Endorphin Speed 3 does feel soft to me. I much preferred the Speed 1 and 2. Is the Boston 12 at all similar to the Speed 1/2?

[@supwell]

i never ran in the first versions of the speed but from my understanding they had a bit more of that "snap" feeling from the plate combined with the bouncy peba. the boston 12 is less of a quick snap and more of a controlled steady bounce - much more planted than how i've heard the speed 1/2 described

[@JP-om3ou]

Did you toast your bagels in the oven? No toaster?

[@supwell]

Yeah I need to ask Santa for a new toaster. I've had two break in the past year 😩
