I am retiring these shoes. They felt non-helpful. I met Mary Ann S. in SF midday for mile repeats. I thought to do 5 if we ended up 5:55ish and fewer if faster. 2.68 warm up FSI (for Sasha's information) I wheeled a mile before we met to make sure watches weren't off. My watch matched the mile marker within feet.
Anyone as obsessive about my running as me (ok, I guess noone would be) can compare this workout to my Sept 23rd same workout before St. G. 1 - 5:41, (miles 1 and 3 are new downhill of about 53 feet if I remember right, so 2 and 4 are net uphill the same amount) slowed down last couple of yards to not be sub 5:40, I guess that was kind of stupid 2 - 5:48 3 - 5:41 4 - 5:43 So averaged about 4 sec faster per mile than in September. Nice to see improvement. I felt like I was holding back, but perhaps I felt that way in September since I was tapering then as well.
Mary Ann came in approx 10 sec behind me each time, she'd start out with me, even pushing pace, then would struggle with breathing a bit. It was so great to have Mary Ann join me. We had some fun conversation. She's serious about her running, and that's right up my alley. I can dig it. weight 120
