Shoes / Re: New Balance 5000v2 - Spikeless running shoes

This is exactly what i've experienced..
Quote
The RC5000v2 is one of the best shoes I've tested. It offers remarkable cushioning for its weight, given it's so light. My calculated cushioning-to-weight ratio (AKA Benefit) is 9.1, far higher than any other shoe. It's as well cushioned as some shoes that weigh nearly three times as much, and while it's upper is unpadded, it's not uncomfortable. I'd recommend trying the RC5000v2 out as it's a surprising shoe and it carries my "best of the best rating". (I use The Science of Running Shoes as the basis of how I test running shoes and what you should look for in a running shoe.)

Shoes / Re: Adidas Adios Boost
« on: January 06, 2017, 02:02:21 am »
ran in them tonight.. not too happy with them. Also, they were probably a hair too small ... so i'm returning them.
Instead of getting the next 1/2 size up, i'm just going with what I know works: NB MRC5000v2's ...
http://fellrnr.com/wiki/New_Balance_RC5000v2
This is exactly what i've experienced.. There's no reason I couldn't run the same mileage in these shoes, as I would in Adios's.. I've run ~25 miles in my NB RC5000v2's and I was fine. I've run several 12-15 milers in them, no problem. The Adios's felt like heavy pillows.
Back to what I know works.. not wasting another run in these adios's. Plus a few of my toenails feel wrecked.

- continuous distance: 17.6 (+2.2?)
- strava: https://www.strava.com/activities/822611698
- moderate to light to very light to last mile hard
- got new shoes.. i wanted some heavier/more protective ones for long runs. Feels so much different running in 8 oz shoes vs 3.6 oz. They might be a few millimeters too small though, two toenails bugging out. dno.
I might have to return these shoes.. dno yet.. they felt good for the most part while i was running, but by mile 13 or so, i felt a few toenails freaking out.. and they felt a hair small before i ran. dno.
the only interesting thing about this run is, how good my form felt when i pushed it on that last mile.. i was really relaxed/moving good, even though legs were completely dead.

instead i'm just going to return them, get another pair of NB MRC5000v2's AND a heart rate monitor strap.. mostly to collect HR data when i'm doing my "heavy barbell conditioning". I'm curious to see how my HR responds to such sessions. I'll also wear it occasionally when I run to get some data there too.

I imagine most athletes have a simplistic mental model for their reduced resting heart rate. Something along this lines of: "training adaptation has built a mighty pumping machine whose facilities are barely taxed when I'm at rest". The adaptation described by this research changes the story significantly, to something more like: "in response to a long-running barrage of unserviceable 'beat faster' signals on the vagus nerve, an insensitivity to these signals developed, resulting in a cardiac system that may respond poorly to requests for increased blood volumes". That's a pretty major shift!
