How have you found them on shorter efforts? I’m not a huge fan but others rate them. I’ve found they suit me best for an intervals session or shorter distance but as I don’t enjoy running in them that much anything more than that feels a bit of a chore

How have you found them on shorter efforts?
I did my 10x800 session. Target split was 2m56 and I was faster throughout, last 3 reps were sub 2m50 and whilst my HR mirrored 5k effort through the reps I wasn't maxing out like at the end of a race so could've pushed a bit harder I think.
I'd put the times massively down to the shoes.
The session is used to predict Marathon finish time but as I couldn't hold sub 3 pace for even 10 miles of my long run last week I'm not daft enough think a low 2h50 is in range off these numbers.

Did first long run in "super shoes". Asics Meta Speed Edge+
Pre super shoes I've been borderline sub 3 pace feeling like they might tip the balance. First run on Tues they felt great.
18 with 10@mp I'm back home now wondering if 3h10 is an ambitious goal even. Shoes felt like planks of wood and my hr drift through to unsustainable effort was way too rapid.
So confusing, but the stats never lie.
