American Sara Hall Runs The Race Of Her Life To Finish 2nd in London in 2:22:01
An American hadn't finished in the top 3 in London since 2006 but Sara Hall ran the race of her life and mowed down everyone in the field save Brigid Kosgei (2:18:58) to finish second in 2:22:01 after outkicking world champ Ruth Chepngetich. US Olympian Molly Seidel was 6th (2:25:13).

i thought the rule was it has to be sold to the public at least 3 months before competition to be eligible, how did those pass being a prototype and all?
yeah i was a bit skeptical of that but with the amendments and all that made recently, i think they got the okay to use the shoe

seems bs to me because we all know if it was nike introducing something new that no one has heard of for kipchoge today then the running world would have exploded even if it was "readily available" to all other elite competitors

Went in to get my foot Gait analyzed and found that I’ve been buying shoes 1.5 sizes too small for years. Walked out with a new pair of shoes since I’m going to try out running until Jiu Jitsu comes back.

Saucony needs to step it up with the cws! Nonetheless, I'm a fan of the EPs! ASICS needs more MR cws too!

yeah the whole thing is messy right now and i looked more into it after my post and the main point i’ve taken out of my research is that they’re trying to level the playing field for unsponsored athletes that do not have access to shoes the way a sponsored athlete would.
i could be wrong, but i don’t think nike or adidas at the moment had anything in terms of a prototype ready for their athletes to wear yet, or maybe none of the athletes felt like the prototypes were good enough, but honestly would not be surprised to see more scenarios like this until the end of the tokyo olympics.

Brooks got back to me and offered only a 10% code. I’m good off Brooks...

Does anyone have the saucony shift?
the rocket x seems to be an improvement over the carbon x so if they use that kind of midsole, would make the v2 a top option for my long runs as i already like the SPE

theres a carbon x, rocket x and carbon rocket?
my bad meant to say rocket x that is releasing soon
but hoka does have a carbon rocket as part of their line up which isn't anywhere close to what i consider to be a marathon shoe at all. hasn't been very popular but was the entry way for them into the carbon plated shoe
carbon rocket > carbon x (spe) > rocket x
Yes. It's on the heavier side, but makes up for it with a smooth rockered ride. The cushioning, while thick, is a little on the firmer side and has more response than you'd expect from looking at it (you don't sink into it like a hoka). The upper is fantastic as well.

Gonna give up on trying to make Nikes work for my wide AF feet. Been buying a 10 as well but may bump up to a 10.5 in the Pegasus as that’s the only wide offering from Nike. Oh well, back goes these VF, etc.
May try the Endorphin pros as I’ve heard good things for wide footers.

would not have expected it to be firm.. I mean I don’t want something that is like a pillow where you sink into it.. but something that is soft for high mileage slow days
