He is more of a 3/5k guy. Remembered him trying for Olympic 10k team and he didn’t manage to make the team. Marathon was even worse since he dropped out. He ran a 2.18 marathon recently. I don’t see him going under 2.10. Bernard Lagat, another fast twitch runner, only managed to run 2.12. He will improve definitely but unlikely to be significant.

You know what......these fellas should just go to ica.gov,sg and apply. (think called Foreign Sports Talent Scheme) (y)
But not sure what our gahment can provide tho....... For ah paul is USA for now, not sure which coy sponsoring him (anyway over here also can same coy sponsor, just a nationality difference).

🤣 🤣 🤣

My 1st pair endorphins speed 3 ran until 1500km . Already standby another pair ES3 before that. When I retired my 1st ES3. The 2nd ES3 already left more than 1 year untouched after I bought it. In the end ..my 2nd pair of ES3 only last 100km where the upper and mid sole become separated..quite a waste.
That's why when you buy your shoes,don't store them for too long haha. Running shoes not supposed to be stored one. That's why most brands sell their old stocks at a discounted price because likelihood of it not lasting is very high.

If you try at 10k pace, should be quite doable actually.



Hoping Shaun gets bronze at least for 5/10k.

Seems hard since you did jog recovery and transition from warm up to the actual interval. Probably can push for sub 90 min HM
Trying for sub 40 10km first.

Ohh u ran with prime x Strung too . The high stack is ok for me coz I already ran with superblast before that . Now the problem is my prime strung X2 does put very uncomfortable pressure on my accessory navicular on my right foot after my 21km run . I never have this issues with all the running shoes I owned.

Checked on reddit .there are many runners having this issue too. Have to skip the top lacing knots or cut away the size tag and the leather inside the shoe .
oh i love the superblast but didn't like the prime x2.
trying to sell it but i doubt there will be any takers.

amazing your shoe can last 1500km. Majority of the outer heels of mine will be worn off by 100km (one exception is pb3.0). None of my shoes have reached 500km yet 🤣

Ya better to buy same year 2025 model or at most 2024.

2023 model could only consider at deep discount.
another quick tip, you can check the small label inside the shoe on the sides for the production date.
most big brand will include the month/year of production so you will know how old is the shoe.

I still have 2 more pairs of adios pro 3 brand new bought in japan during Jan 2025. It was cheap (less than $150) that I just whacked..

very minor wear off. good for you. my cheapo qiaodan 强风3TR heels were worn off worse than yours after 5km. After the return run of additional 5km, i can see the midsole. Have to add self-adhesive outsole layer to prevent it from going worse. 😂
Can show your shoes bottom? I have the same shoes, 39km, ok leh. Maybe later I have a 2nd look.
