Nate, Bill, and I went over to Flying Feet on Friday. I tried on the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 8 (the replacement for my old GTS 7s) and a few others. Surprisingly, I ended up going with the Asics GT-2130. There seemed to be a little more room in the toe box that made them a little more comfortable than the Brooks, even though I can’t say I’ve ever had “problems” in the past.
It’s always hard to tell which shoes to get. What feels great jogging around the parking lot at the store might not be so wonderful after 10 miles on the trail. I did, however, take the new shoes out for first real run today and they seemed to be fine…
Ran a slow, hot, and sweaty 5.05 miles in 56:19 (11:09/mi pace) with an average speed of 5.4 MPH and a max of 6.7 MPH. My 1-mile splits were: 10:46, 10:32, 11:19, 11:42, and 11:28.
So far I’m happy with my choice.
