On and off, certain days, the Plaid 2 can go down to rmb699 and then return to 799 at night. This is what I observed for the last week. But it's too early to get my shoes for SCSM. foam degradation over 6 months might set in for those supercritical foam.

But that being said, my PB3 still very good, think got more than a year.

Thanks for intel. Camping for 699.

Been doing this for 3 weeks. But mine is more of half squat (no need to go so deep) and i also try to keep as little pressure on the support leg as possible (just use it as support in left right axis)

Quite good for developing strength / power for your quads and glutes. I can recommend.
(in addition to abduction and adduction exercises, solid)

I prefer single leg. Much better isolation between left and right (so wont have lazy left/right side which would be compensating). Last time when i was doing both legs, the back really too much pressure, risk of herniation.
This one is probably much safer esp for older folks.

Don't know how to tell if I am stride or cadence runner. But I asked chatgpt, and it asked me a series of questions and determine I am a cadence runner. But I am not too sure on its answer though. Both my cadence and stride length increases when I run faster.

I was looking at the meta speed sky/edge and they differentiate between stride and cadence runner then came across the review on plaid 1.5 and 2.0 so I'm just curious if really can differentiate between a stride and cadence runner..

my cadence remains almost the same (average 170 to 175) on any pace..

Then you are most likely a stride runner. But you can consider increasing your cadence to 180 first for more optimum running.

My cadence averages around 190+ per run can go above 210+ for faster run. I’m flat footed so quite scary to take large strides.

Before gst and shipping.

These are from the brands official store. So slightly higher price but I prefer buying direct.

Plaid 2 is down to 709 today!

 

[WussRedXLi]

Just buy the Plaid 2 (also best to buy from official store)......nowadays in 2025 you wont go terribly wrong with China big brands one (it's probably the same pattern with big western/Jap brands...still can go wrong with some). Now 2.0 lagi more suitable for cadence folks. I usually run 180 (simply coz of DnB music) but dont feel any issue with Plaid 1.0 TPEE.
Now i guess got evidence it's lagi better for >= 180 runners. How to go wrong with rmb 709 all in maybe
~ 140sgd,

In cycling there is a fair bit of snob brand appeal for quite a fair number of locals, but i think runners here should know better.

 

[basic___]

150sgd for Plaid 2.0 including shipping and gst. Pretty good deal.
I think I will end up buying dowin pb4.0 as a beater carbon plate shoe for threshold and progressive long runs

The few zhar bohs in the vid quite fast.
