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

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.

Then i think you can even try 3:00 flat but shorter distances like 120m...... good for neuromuscular, running form/RE etc.....even training cadence/stride length which is critical for faster running. Power, form, technique, hip range of motion etc.

Just need more cardio training from your other more fav sports also, slowly inch up to 1k, 2k, 3k even 5k
30 mins total is something like 4 x WCH which is part of what i do also i guess.

Actually 1k, 1.5k / mile also can "race" one, if that is your cup of tea (running fast / bursts )

curious to know what is the top speed you can achieve in these runs.
i did 6x1000m yesterday, clocked between 4:55-5:25min/km, top speed max at around 3:30min/km but cannot sustain. Am thinking i need to do more short sprints (100/200/400) to build up my speed before working on sustaining top end speed. now old liao anaerobic fitness damn lousy.

Think I need to improve my form and some strengthening.

Because sometimes 80m can't even hit 3.30. But 100-200m with more runway to run can go slightly under.

Ya I will work on the fast 1k, 1.5k and 2k. Occasionally do a 3k. (last did was around 4.55/km pace. Some more following 2 young guys as pacers haha)

Now very lazy and scared of doing 5k TT.

Fastest is just under 4.30/km.

Usually first and second 1000m will start at 4.50s then gradually faster.

5th and 6th set run as fast as possible. Fastest top speed 3mins+ only at the last 80m. Cardio cannot tahan!

got to progressively train... you already varying speed into your runs.. just have to progressively increase max speed duration. But got to warn you damn siong!

you can target 3.30 for 1km .. then 2km... can up 3km or more if you like pain like moi :ROFLMAO:
sense of achievement different from running long.
