Solid review and congratulations on 2:55 for Boston Yani! I ran the Bend Marathon this last weekend in the adios pro 3 and they were smooth! Really enjoy the insight and detail of the videos. Peace

[@yani.leigh.]

Thanks Braden! How was the marathon for you?

[@thomasdamato9430]

Dude where you been man missed you, vlog more! Damn good time for Boston under your health and weather conditions your way faster than that cool. I can tell you got the goods to run a fast marathon take care of patella tendonitis and kick some ass you got this, congrats again.

[@yani.leigh.]

Thanks Thomas! I missed making vids too it's just been a whirlwind month but getting everything going again, legs feeling better! I appreciate that big time! I feel like sub 2:50 is absolutely in the cards this year and I'm going to keep trying!

Great review Yani!! super happy you were able to finish and get a great time. I know we talked about the Asics Metaspeed sky+ and how much you liked those. Do you feel like these adidas were better than the Asics? I am really looking for my race day shoe and have been going back and forth between the both of them for my sub 3 marathon in September of this year. Congrats again man!!

[@yani.leigh.]

Thanks Steven! I know.... The metaspeed sky + is absolutely class but every time whether it's my training block , race sims or anything i tend to always reach for Adidas first. If not, it's typically to put miles in for a different review. Prime x strung is far and away the most fun I ve had running in a able, the adios pro 3 is going to be my next marathon racer as it's feeling isn't far off and it's race legal. For me the metaspeed sky + unfortunately keeps moving down the list a bit and for no other reason than Adidas seems to work very well for me this year!

@@yani.leigh. I gotcha man, I have heard they are great shoes but feel aggressive under foot, The pros at least. I have also heard the endorphin pro 3 are amazing as well. I just do not know who is going to take my money lol!!!

[@yani.leigh.]

Haha what a great problem to have! I actually find the Adidas pro 3 s softer than the endorphin 3. The upper on the Saucony is more accommodating though and it's a touch lighter. Adidas upper (apart from the strung) needs to be dialed in more , but once you get it, it's perfect. What are you doing your speed work in right now ?

[@sldorse42]

@@yani.leigh. Currently in endorpin speed 2's and when its a brick or tougher day I use vaporflys. But I try to stay away from carbon unless I absolutely have to use it

[@chrisrose3967]

Congratulations for Boston! It is amazing that you were able to run a 2:55 Marathon with shin splits!I bought the prime x a few months a go and I must say it's excellent, apart from the upper maybe, I use them for fast long runs during my sub 3:00 Marathon program. I think the strung have a better upper but the price is to high for me

[@yani.leigh.]

Thanks Chris! How's the sub 3 program going? Oh it's absolutely outrageously priced. No chance I would touch that price range again unless I was in the same situation. 100% the most fun I ve had running though , that shoe is the definition of cruise control !

[@chrisrose3967]

@@yani.leigh. not so great. During my last 2 attempts (last April and April 2022) I experienced muscle cramps on my left calf . That didn’t stopped me but I finished in 3:14 and 3:07 respectively. The closest I came to my goal was in November 2021 when I ran a 3:04 marathon.

[@yani.leigh.]

Ahh you're right there!! That breakthrough is coming asap. Making more attempts this year ?

[@chrisrose3967]

@@yani.leigh. Maybe, if I find a relatively flat marathon AND overcome my calf injury(left calf is not completely healed)

[@yani.leigh.]

I'm hoping you can. Never appreciate how nice it is to run pain free until you're injured

[@zacsborntorunrunningadvent3441]

Awesome effort on the 2:55 Sub3 achievement! What were your 5-21k time trials in the 8wk lead up im curious? Ive been looking into these Prime X Strung given im 82kg depending on the month and got a Marathon in 41days.

[@yani.leigh.]

I really didn't do to many time trials leading up! I had a training session where I ran a 1:25 half and there was a 10km race where I ran a 38 minute 10 km. It had a 300 foot hill at the end . But just a lot of interval training sessions 2-3 mile repeats and so on! That's awesome! What's the goal time?

[@zacsborntorunrunningadvent3441]

@@yani.leigh. cheers bro, goal is 2:58 :) 39days time.

[@yani.leigh.]

Good luck out there! Go get it

[@zacsborntorunrunningadvent3441]

@@yani.leigh. with your 2 to 3mile Intervals what pace or heartrate were you aiming on like marathon pace or half marathon pace or lactate threshold long Intervals?

[@ferysery]

hi. do u prefer it over aDizero boston11?

[@yani.leigh.]

Very much so! But an entirely different shoe with an even bigger difference in price! With full transparency, I have bought and tried most of the Boston's and have yet to ever fall in love with one. The prime x I would grab for any run any time , it's a lot of fun.

[@i.p2088]

Great review.

[@yani.leigh.]

Thank you!

[@Einhander49]

"not paid" Yet he reviews the shoe as if he were a spokesperson for Adidas. 😂😂😂😂 It's obvious you got paid for this, lmao.

[@yani.leigh.]

Imagine if Adidas cared enough to pay a small KZbin channel to review a shoe. That d be unreal. Unfortunately my wallet says otherwise . Thanks for watching!
