I am still not sure what is different, but I think the inside of the shoe seems to tilt a bit inside. I can feel a gentle slope towards inside. Not sure if the 2E for New balance 890v4 is wider and that forces my foot to slide. Will try to do something for this in next run. Over all one thing that I like about New balance 890v4 is that it super light, don;t feel like I am running with any shoe. Its going to take some more runs to break in the Shoe before I can truly judge how it is. The run was regular up university and back to store. I am still not 100% and need to see doctor tomorrow. It was supposed to early morning run so got up early to see it rain. I had all new shoe (New balance 890v4) so decided to skip the morning. Finally after the Germany won had time to go out. It was too hot even for the time. Switched to shadow side of the road. It was still very hot my head it still hurting. Today it felt lot easier especially going up the steep hill on York Mills. It was fun run did the recommended 7K. New Balance 890v4 is lot lighter than my 880V3 and I can really fell that. The cushioning is less and than 880v3 and I could fell that too :) . The one odd thing still is I find my feet going in as if its giving up and I am pro-nateing. I feel I am forced to rather than I doing it. Still just 7K is too early to tell if it will hurt or pain later. For now it feels better and lighter. The blue color really stands out. Oh I bought the laces that dont untie when running but I could not get the original laces out so still have not switched them. The shoe fits really good , the heel and back part of ankle are more cushioned inside than 880v4. So that is definitely a plus. More will come. Finally I could tell today that my old shoe was done. You can see from the snap it was all torn on sides and today I guess it got worse. So finally decided to get a new shoe. Unfortunately 880v4 is not out had to settle for 890v4. Running room did not carry any 2E sizes so had to shop around a bit. I did not know New balance has stores in Toronto , found one at Bayview but they did not have my size. So had to go to the one on Shops at Don mills. Todays run was usual 4K route up University and back to the store. Here is the route and details. So I had a craving for late coffee about and hour before the run. For a change went with McDonald's large and oh man it made my run so horrible. It was supposed to short 3K run but a faster pace and oh boy! After first k it was all churning and I could neither throw up or run. Somehow completed my run. Now it's finally good. Here was route to run. N
Running room half marathon clinic finally is ramping up, we got split in to groups by our pace and goals. I am in the group that just wants to complete and surprisingly it was biggest. The run was regular 4K the pace is up yet. My lungs are still not clear from the cold last week so it hits every now and than. My New Balance 880v3 seem to be worn out now, I could feel it on my feet. So on the way back shopped for new shoes. 880v4 is still not for sale. Tried the 980 foam based shoe from new balance. The review from runners world was a average shoe so still hesitating to it. I need a 2E which was not available so din't get it any ways. Finally I was able to get through the York Mill hill, a week ago it looked the Lawrence hill was real dud and sucked out all energy going any way. Today since I dint have to go work on the way back, It did not matter how soaked I was in sweat. It was really bad but was able to get up there and finish the full coarse. Now need to get distance on bike I need to be able to do at least 40K before I can run 22K. For sure biking is best cross training sport for me right now. Gets my quads and hamstring strong without hurting them. Now just need to find time to strength training to complete the full training for Half marathon. Plan was to do alternate day biking and running but ended up doing both today and it was not bad. Biking was down Yonge st was good . Got new fenders and cage helped during the bike ride. The run was with regular group and it was just usual 4K.
So finally the flu seems to have gone but the I am still stuffy and coughing ..I was worried it would affect my run. It did somewhat but after the first 15mins it was all ok. Feel a lot better running again struggled to get to normal pace. My New balance 880V3 definitely needs a replacement. Cannot wait till Aug for the 880v4 so might get a 2nd pair to run. Not sure if I should switch brands and go with Nike for a change. More about it next time ... |
