  • 16:36 Thames Path parkrun this morning, another 10 seconds off my v50 course record, and my fastest post-lockdown. Happy with that!

    I'm following all the cheat shoe chat with interest. No marathon plans imminent, so really looking for something ideal for 5-10k range. Takumi Sen / Metaspeed of some sort seem worth considering. The only carbon shoes I've got are Saucony Endorphin pro, v2. Very comfy combination of cushioning and relatively light, but I'm not convinced they actually propel me along any faster. (Wore some well-used Endorphin Speed - nylon plate - this morning. Love those.)

  • 16:36!!!??? That’s actually bananas. Well done.

    I’m a big fan of the Takumi Sen. I have the 8 which can be found cheap (as can the 9) but the newer version 10 has carbon rods instead of plastic so it’s a much stiffer shoe and apparently faster. That said, Emile Cairess ran 2:08 in the 9s last year.
