I have some update. Got a pair in orange in December, did half marathon and 5Ks and yes they are absolutely faster. I won my age group and stuff. I just got a pair in blue a couple of days ago too. Here’s the problem. They wear out REALLY REALLY fast, so I’m using them only for the race.
I got a pair a couple of days ago and used them this Sunday for a half marathon. They did feel faster and at times I was surprised by the mismatch between my perceived and realized pace. How fast do you reckon they wear out? I also intend to use them only for races, and with IM Hamburg being my A-race this year I just might need another pair for that race.
Do you see the black rubber at the bottom of the sole? That rubber is wearing out in the corner after about 30 miles of run on the pavement.
It happened to my female friend and she’s about 97lb.
Mine has about 16 miles on the pavement on the 6 miles on the treadmill.
I’ve heard serious runners stocking up these shoes, so if you are a serious runner, get an extra pair for sure.
