- run 1:31:46, 16.16 km
without planning too carefully, and actually running a slightly different route than i'd meant to, absolutely nailed ten miles door to door (10.04, to be exact). high-five! this route has 207m total elevation gain, including one long (>1 mile pretty much dead straight) and steep climb. that equates to less than half of the rate for the 50k i signed up for in october. gonna have to start finding some alternatives with more hills.

knees felt 100%. also, first run in adidas evo SL. liked them, will continue to use for long runs.

went back and looked through half results. i passed 18 people in the second half of the race, including five in the last 1.1 miles. neat.

- climb x ~45 mins
so weak. technique didn't feel terrible but, big shock, climbing once every ten days or two weeks is not a great way to build specific fitness. still, had fun.

- squat 225 x 4,4
lmao

- DB SLRDL +35 x 8,8/leg

- dips x 10,10,10

- TTB and tuck planche holds x a few sets

- knee PT

I very nearly bought a pair of these, but ended up getting Boston 12s on a big price drop after the 13s launched, and mildly regretting it. Evo SL's seem rad.

that's interesting, i've heard raves about the bostons as well. was considering a pair because they're allegedly closer to a pre-superfoam-style racing flat like my beloved kinvara ~8-13s. what don't you like about them?

evos are great, though. lightweight, responsive without being too squishy, corner pretty well for high-stack shoes (better than novablast).

- run 55:55, 9.63 km
sore, especially in glutes but also quads a bit. nice recovery pace, HR never went over 136 and averaged 125.

- track intervals
-- warm up
-- 2 x 1200, 2 x 1000, 1 x 800 @ 5k pace; 400m jogging rest
-- cool down
upper legs quite sore. average pace for the reps consistent at 3:51-3:53. felt myself flagging a little on the final 400 of the last two reps but sped up instead of slowing down, which felt good.

Yeah Boston 12s had rave reviews so I was primed to get them on the cheap when the 13s came out. They just don't quite click for me. The upper/lacing is very weird, and they feel a bit stiff. Much prefer my Zoom 6s for sessions.

oh yeah the redditors complained about adidas tongues and laces, but apparently fixed them for the evo SL. the tongue is a little fidgety when i'm putting the shoes on but then it's fine. no problem with the laces.
