yeah it’s all I run in. I know that’s not what they are for but I’ve dumbed my life down to finding a model that works for me and keeps me healthy and keeps me pressing and this has worked.
Yikes.
I remember about a year and a half ago when I got the VFFK 4% I ran in those shoes EVERY FREAKING RUN. Improved my time and was averaging 7:40mi, my fastest times in ages...but I think doing it in the same shoe wore me down. It was then I was kindly introduced to plantar fasciitis . Being a heel striker, I think I gave up my quest for getting faster as that pain is EXCRUCIATING...unless Tempo Next% in the fall is a remedy.
On the upswing, fast forward to today and I’ve been able to get my average to 7:56mi in the Infinity React while probably 10-12lbs heavier. I could probably try to hammer out a few seconds but I like where I’m at...
But man, sometimes that itch for speed or going just a little faster is an itch you can’t resist scratching.
