11 May
Easy run 11 K @ 1:03:57 ( 5:48 pace )
Walk 3K @ ~27m
Started implementing new approach : more really easy work , duration over mileage. I tend to hit the wall around 11K at those easy runs , they stop feeling easy and pace climbs over 6:00. It happened again yesterday, started feeling stiff and went from 5:45 average to 6:05 last km.
So instead of grinding 3-4 more kms @ 6:00 pace , i walked 3 @ 9:00 pace (almost half an hour worth ). Already see the difference today, so much less sore.
In other news, my shoes are done, i notice i am feeling them much less cushnioning or bouncy lately, checked stats, i've done over 900K in them since August lol.
They were the pegasus turbo 2 , featuring the zoomX foam you find in the vaporflys. Really loved that shoe, much cushion but also very fast/responsive/bouncy when pushed and lightweight.
Here are the candidates for next pair:
https://weartesters.com/saucony-endorphin-speed-performance-review/ , best all-around 'normal' shoe ever?
https://weartesters.com/saucony-endorphin-pro-performance-review/ , the above shoe , 50$ more, better upper materials and a carbon plate
https://weartesters.com/nike-zoomx-invincible-run-performance-review/ , a shitton of zoomX for long runs
https://weartesters.com/nike-air-zoom-tempo-next-performance-review/ , those are actualy the vaporflys but the plate is composite instead of carbon, a little less springy but also easier to bend
https://weartesters.com/nike-zoom-fly-3-performance-review/ , a carbon plate shoe that is a bit more suited for every day and sells at normal price
I am not inducing the other high-end carbon plate ones on purpose, they are purely race/speed shoes, only the ones i listed are suited for all around use.
Not sure what to pick. Endorphin pro, tempo next and fly 3 are all sooo intriguing to try. I guess it will depend on the best offer i can find now that i need them, retail price is very high for all but you get huge discounts if you search it a bit.
