Field note: the shoe you trained in

Jay spent May in Asics Gel Nimbus 24s, then lined up New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080 v12s for Hibiscus and for Honu. That is the whole gear review: what had miles on it, and what was going to the start line.

We use affiliate links on the channel when we actually used the thing. We are not a shoe account. If a later note says a pair failed, it failed. If this note is silent on carbon plates, it is because we were not racing in a science experiment that week.

Do: put the race shoe on a long run before the race. Don’t: trust a drop that your calf has not met.
