I’ve had a bit of a theory about the vf2. Basically ran every workout/lr in it for 4 yrs.
Did my use of this shoe style for this long have an effect to my foot strike/stride pattern/muscle use.
Or
Could I have been a super responder to the geometry of this particular shoe?

As a So Cal native I don’t know how you come back to LA next year after such an abrupt cancellation.
The city ain’t gonna be about it. Especially when you got things like this being leaked as excuses.

I’ve been fortunate enough to have been using the Fast R-3 for the last couple months for the majority of my workouts.
I’ve worn my fair share of super shoes over the last 6 years but this felt like I was putting on supershoes for the first time.
Will be my race shoe for Boston and CIM.

With all the high school records going down recently I keep wondering if someone will eventually take their shot at Chapa’s 28:32.
His 10k record will turn 50 years old next year. That’s insane.
Michael Carter’s 24.77/20.65 (senior weight) shot puts are the other oldest (1979)

Solid week, capping it off with racing with the fellas in New York.
Heavy legs on race day but closed well to run my second fastest half ever in 67:55. Just a couple more weeks til Boston.

Last time I ran Boston they gave a bunch of the higher seeds (I think sub 2:32) a pair of adios pros.
This year Adidas stepped it up and sent out Evo 1s. Wanted to make sure these were in hand before I posted it. Holy heck. This alone is worth the price of admission for Boston.

Half marathon race week. I have two available options for this half, a workout pair of strikes with just over 100 miles on em or the light sprays that have just under 50 miles on em. Leaning towards the latter but will be working on with them to see how comfortable I am being aggressive in the shoe.

20 miles this morning with 10 miles at 5:26 average. Jumped into a random 10k to finish it off and won. Rolling course, windy, and a bunch of out and backs but I’m pretty happy with the effort. Another workout down.

Long runs and I haven’t been on speaking terms for the last couple weeks but I’m really happy with how today went. 18 miles w/ 8 miles @ 5:20-25 average over rolling terrain. It’s been a while since I’ve felt like my old self. My left side still needs some work but it’s progress.

I’ve really gravitated towards using super trainers for those days that I don’t really want to go out.
For the last couple months that’s been On’s Cloud Monster Hyper. I’ve probably put more miles on this than most shoes I typically wear.
Adding Puma’s MagMax to this too.
