First distance training with my NEWTON

CRAZY !!! I'm definitely crazy ! After friday's evening first training with my NEWTON RUNNING Stability Trainer (3x1000m at 15km/h - see my previous article), I had intended to run part of my Sunday's distance training (1h30 at 12 km/h) with them, let's say, for example, the first 15 minutes and then get back to my old shoes. This is at least what Sir Isaac says in the instructions, to take time to get accustomed.

Being alone at home for 2 hours on Saturday morning and still being in a high mood following Friday's evening team training, I decided to take my distance training one day in advance. I was supposed to run only the first quarter of an hour with the NEWTON but I just felt so great with them, so light, so quick and effortless that I decided to run 10 more minutes with them. Then, you know what ? I just felt so ..., so ... that I decided to run 10 more and 10 more and 10 more and 10 more ... and eventually ran my 18 km with them ! Forgive me Sir Isaac not to have followed the instructions !

These shoes are simply fantastic and make running effortless (for the same speed compared to other shoes). I maintained my 12 km/h pace even when the road was climbing. I didn't feel any pain in the calves or in the back. And I immediatly found a nice and efficient stride. Totally natural and easy. And for the first time of my life, my heels never encountered the ground ! Moreover, I was less tired than usual at the end of my 18 km. Waow. My God ! These shoes are simply fabulous !

Next training : 12 x 400m max speed on roads on Tuesday. Should be great and I should run faster than ever. Will keep you informed.
