7.2 miles tonight and a PR for 10k of 51:09. We’ll, at least a PR since I switched from RunKeeper to Strava last summer. I credit my Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbos entirely for the PR tonight!
UNIFORM LA CHILLICOTHE WORK JACKET Drop, going on right now.
Uniform LA's Chillicothe Work Jacket is an elevated take on the classic Detroit Work Jacket. Made of ultra-premium 14-ounce Japanese canvas, it has been meticulously washed and hand distressed to replicate vintage workwear that’s been worn for years, and available in three colors.
This just dropped today. If you missed out on the preorder, there are some sizes left, but they won't be around for long. Check out the remaining stock here
Good luck!.

I've seen the 'lab tests', but let's call a spade a spade...There's no way to definitively proclaim that wearing said shoes will empirically make you run faster. So many variables are in play, from placebo, nutrition/hydration, conditions, mental/physical health, etc. that I feel muddy the waters too much to consider it a science.
Re competitive set: Nike is to sporting products what P&G is to consumer packaged goods. They have the deepest pockets, broadest integration, and seemingly unlimited resources. My take is that Nike can simply afford to diversify innovation investments and their marketing dwarfs the competitive set.
Net/Net: I'm with @Michigan Planner -- They fit my feel well and I feel good in them, but I'm far too slow reap any potential benefits.
So I fundamentally agree with your philosophy, but I also find the case study which the NYT did to be very compelling. Are there other factors at play which they are not able to control for? Of course. There are people in their data set who ran worse with the shoes, so they are not perfect for every runner.
Stepped outside this morning for my normal run and slid down the driveway on a sheet of ice. Crawled (literally) back into the house and got ready to head into work early instead.........
Oh ****. I hope you’re alright.
I hope you were able towalkcrawl away undamaged.
I was planning to run this morning but I woke up and there were about 100+ schools closed because of ice here in Metro Detroit so I decided to play some Zelda: Breath of the Wild instead. I completed a couple of shrine quests so I'm happy with the results.
I'll get my miles in on the treadmill tonight while the daughter is rock climbing.
