What a pair of shoes these have turned out to be. Perfect fit, loads of space in the toe box, extremely light and no wide base on the sole of the heel – I thought this would make the shoe less stable but it seems to be the opposite as there’s a much better feel in them and the transition from heel to toe is very smooth. I'm expecting them to turn into a really good race shoe (for 50km anyway)
I took them out on the trail in the dark for about 13km they were an instant hit. Ran about 4:45’s which is pretty quick with a light on your head and I’m pretty pleased. Can’t wait to get in them again which, unfortunately, means it’s going to be even harder work breaking in the troublesome Trail-Sensors!
Not much through the rest of the week, a couple of staple 12km’s with a bit of fartlek followed by a hectic weekend at Surfers which included a dislocated finger (turned out to be a weekend that we’ll remember for as many bad reasons as good, but that’s a different story!).
Looking to really get back into it this week (I’ve been saying that for the last three) and am looking forward to the Tre-X off road triathlon series on Sunday. I’ve got the 4½ km running leg for the Active Stride team - I hope they’re not expecting anything too quick!
Pushup test tonight before getting into week 3 of the 100 push up challenge too, I’ll be interested to see how it pans out.
