I picked up a pair of Brooks Cascadia 3's this afternoon and took them out for a run at the Back Cove. I thought I was buying the Cascadia 4's, but it doesn't matter, as these fit me fine. What's strange is that I tried on a pair of the Cascadia 3's a year ago and they didn't seem to fit. However, today they felt perfect. Wierd.
They felt a little stiff at first, but I didn't really notice that after the first mile. From then on, they felt great. Very comfortable shoe and the run itself went well. The quick pace came easily and I wanted to keep it up for longer, but I reminded myself I'm in a taper and have a longer run planned for tomorrow. I hate tapering.
Ran 3.6 miles @ 6:50/mile pace.
AHR/MHR - 159/172
Trails.
Slightly hilly.
Lower 70s, sunny.
Shorts, short sleeved shirt.
I have Cascadia 3s and really like them.....funny thing though, if I remember correctly, I got them on your recomendation last fall. (I thought?) weren't you wearing them at Bradbury East 12 miler??
ReplyDeleteI guess it doesn't ....who ever recomended them was surely right!
Back Cove is good for going fast. Big endorphin rush.
