Bought today a new pair of Adidas shoes. Just 35 eur from Budget Sport. Lightweight, high profile, no pronation support or anything. I already forgot the model, but browsing on the net I’d guess it’s Clima Cool Response 2. Or something close… Anyway, they are functionally quite close to my previous workhorse Nike Air Skylons, which I simpy ran out.
Of course I had to test the new ones so I had a 15K in Helsinki Central Park. I thought I was running at “normal pace”. However, measured K’s told me it was going under 4 minutes per km for most of the time. I deliberately speeded “mildly” on one K resulting in 3.30. Based on all this, I’m really looking forward to the marathon…
Two nights ago I did another 1.40 adventure with Jari somewhere in & around Espoo central park. My legs (yeah, it’s the right knee thing) informed me of medium damage towards the end.
