In other news, managed my first ever run commute home last night, 10.5miles door to door.
my workout was a 5 mile tempo @ MP (8:20m/mi) with a 1-3mi warm up and cool down, so I did 2.2mi warmup and the cooldown was from when I'd finished my tempo to home (about 2.8mi).
Just before I left the office another pair of running shoes I ordered arrived, Nike flyknit lunar1+. So of course I just threw them on and got on with it.
fucking hell. I love these shoes. the cushioning is just about perfect, the upper makes it feel like there's nothing there at all, they're pretty light and even over a fatigued 10mi didn't punish me for any mistakes in my running form (so much for the over-pronation needing stability shoes).
the one niggle I have is I got my first blister on the back of my heel suggesting I haven't laced them properly yet but hopefully I can rectify that as I feel these or the flyknit lunar racers may end up being my marathon shoe now they're that much better than the other shoes I have tried.
