I'd be happy to hit low 3:40s (or even 3:45) for 1 x 10k....that is if i dont DNF 10k coz of pain here pain there or overheating

hello all, 1.65km and 86kg bui bui using forefoot to run... reviewing of xtep 2000km 3.0...

first 2 jog of 45 mins on treadmill was quite ok... i felt that the bounce was minimal but overall was quite comfy...

yesterday night decided to bring outdoor for a job at 8 mins pace and it was damn painful... my calves in pain and i have to stop... every step was like so stiff and tough so i tried to bring to faster pace at 6 min 30 secs and it was still damn torturing

can try go stadium track and run around few rounds. track is soft ground and u decide whether this shoe is for you or not.

not because forumer recommend, is shoe for every runner type.
so as the saying, one man's meat, is another man's poison

you have to try it and probably then understand why i am bullish on this pair of running shoes. Even the unplated Lining 赤兔9ultra felt good imo. Could compete well against 小鲶 in terms of performance, but price isn't looking too encouraging.

Have the xstep 2000km V1 or 2. Forgotten which.

Too firm and minimal energy return. Don't like it at all. But no pain.

Chances are the shoes force you to run a certain way. In this case, using your calves more than usual causing pain.

Maybe can try walking in it for a start while sourcing another pair.
