Ran 6 miles in 60 minutes on the ISU treadmill in my new Asics shoes. Most of my run was at a pace of 6.0 - 6.2, although I did increase the rate to 6.4 for about 0.5 miles, before I noticed some very slight tenderness in first only my left calf then only my right calf (they alternated, which was very weird), which subsided and mostly disappeared from mile 3 to the end of the run at mile 6. At the 5 mile mark I noticed some very slight tenderness in both of my knees until the end of the run.

It should also be noted that I had to stop after 30 minutes for about 30 seconds to restart the treadmill because they are programmed to automatically shut down after 30 minutes. Overall, I felt okay, but not great. I really do like these shoes, and think that they make a substantial difference versus my old New Balance and old Asics running shoes.

I hate when those darn gym treadmills turn off after a certain point (or start your cool down while you are still trying to run)!! I usually just quit, but you kept going! Great job.

Glad you like to new asics shoes. Hopefully you can keep a pretty consistent running routine as a form of stress management.

If those shoes feel that perfect get more pairs now. I really liked the Mizuno Wave Inspire 3, but now I can't get them anywhere. The Inspire 4 isn't as comfortable. I wished I had stocked up on the 3's while they were still available.
