I just finished a 9.486km running that lasted about 0hh:48mm:34ss !
I was planning to do a long run tomorrow early morning but I changed my mind late this afternoon so I went for to the hills in order to do a not so long but intense run.
The reason why I have changed my mind is because I have received my new pair of Running Shoes, as always, they are the same model, I am so faithful to the Mizuno Wave Rider version 23.
In fact, the ones that you can find nowadays in sports stores are version 24, in case you don't know, the number 24 is because every year a new update of the model comes out, that is, the first version of this model is from 24 years ago.
The version 24 costs around 150 Euro, and the version 23, which is the version from the past year, has costed me 70 Euro, does it not a good deal?
Of course it is, as I said, it is always the same concept structurally speaking and only some of the design changes...and, to tell you the truth, design is an important variable but not the most.
The thing is that I wanted to try them out.
My old running shoes had already 1800 Km and this is not very convenient for a road runner as I am , even if apparently their status are aesthetically ok, the material, in particular the ones of the soil, have lost most of their absorbing capacity.
I did try the new pair and I felt so well while running that I regret to myself for not having changed them earlier, believe me.
Coming back to the run, I did 9.4 Km of hilly run in less than 44 minutes, not a soft one but neither so hard. I am happy with the overall performance of the new shoes and also myself ;-)
Keep on running!!!!
