Green Springs/Powerline/Watertank run extended. Run went well. Started easy, just needing to make sure I had recovered from a few hard runs lately. Along the trail started to feel pretty good and pace picked up. Then on the way down decided to marathon pace it for a few miles. Hit the them in 5:44,5:52, and then on a mile with a pretty steep downhil 5:20. The nice thing was I may have a downhill running breakthrough. I have always struggled downhill - so I brought my hips and upperbody forward just a little and it really let me flow. The impact was less on my knees, and I could feel that it let me go a lot faster. Took it back after those three miles and just let the rest of the run go however it felt. Ended up ave. 6:43. A good solid run. W-151 RHR-43 Went to the St. George Running Center after my workout and had Steve help me get a new shoe. After on about 10 pairs I narrowed it down to the Asics Nimbus, Mizuno Precision(?) and the New Balance 755. Went with the NB. I liked the cushion and it felt like I would be able to get some solid miles on them. Also liked the feel of the Saucony Type A(?). So now that the Asics Landreth II are worn out here's my official review: I absolutely loved this shoe. I will go back to it as a regular shoe in my rotation (when I get a few $). Price wasn't bad, $70 on the Internet. Fit and roll of the foot was great. Really helped eliminate my PF until they broke down at the end. And when I say end, I mean END. 455.4 miles! Held up very well. Soles lasted - and are actually still in pretty good shape. I would recommend the Landreth II to any Neutral runner with higher arches. |
