And their laces are just too capricious and I can easily see them coming untied during the race.Īnd for the first time since I acquired a Stryd running pod, I think I’ll try to effectively use it to pace me during the running leg.īy doing some long brick training (bike or turbo trainer with a quick transition to running) including race-pace efforts, I think I’m beginning to get some useful insights on power numbers I can sustain for different kinds of effort.įor instance, during the 8x1k track workout, I’ve ended up with each interval between 360-365W ( as comparison, the 1k all-out gave 395W)įor tempo workouts, it appears that 320-330W is a good value, as I can compare two similar workouts, the first wearing the Craft CTM Ultra, and the second with the SLab Phantasm, on the same course.Ī 30’, 2x5’ tempo run, with similar wattage values, using the Phantasm The Slab Phantasm ( RTR Review ) might be a tad too firm for me, considering that my running form will not be really nice after pedalling for ~3h on a hilly course…Despite how good I feel running in them with fresh legs. They just confirmed what I’ve experienced and liked during long tempo runs in them. Comfort, grip, cushion without mushiness, snappy without being harsh, and “tolerant” to fatigued ticks many boxes for the ending leg of the race. And despite the intensity (I’ve ended flat on the grass), the Adios 6 felt comfortable during the 4kms back to work. The day after the 1km test, I took them for what is probably one of my best (track?) workouts: 8x1k 3’20/km, 2’ jog rest. The Craft CTM Ultra ( RTR Review ) is maybe too much of a shoe for what I intend to do during the half-IM, and moreover, the lack of outsole grip for a race on the shoreline with a high rain risk ruled it out.Įnter the Adios 6 ( RTR Review ), which I kind of raved about in my french review, just as much as my fellow Adam in his review. It gives a snappy, even speedy feeling due to the firmness, but there is not enough shoe and comfort for me to run 21kms after a 90kms bike ride. Shoes design and materials have gone a long way since the original Adios concept, and I find the 5th way too firm and harsh, without any concrete benefit in speed over more recent shoes. The Adios 5 was quickly out of the game, especially after trying an all-out 1km effort on the track, ending just shy over 3’. Some weeks ago I narrowed down the choice between the Adios 5 (yeeees, blast from the past), Craft CTM Ultra, SLab Phantasm and Adios 6. Just as in a couple, you have to surprise your other one to keep the flame alive :)Ī big part of the fun in preparing for a race, at least for a shoe geek like me, is choosing the shoes. I’m always excited to try new race formats, or new “running-centric” sports.
