As it was a post marathon week I had to rest a bit (and eat junk and drink beer).<\/p>\n<p>After three days of rest I was restless\u00a0so\u00a0on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/app.strava.com\/activities\/259575167\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wednesday<\/a>\u00a0I went out for a 10k easy run. I was hurting everywhere. First my feet were complaining, especially the toes. Then the Achilles&#8217;s tendons for a couple of kilometers and finally the hamstrings. Anyway I was happy to be back in action.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/app.strava.com\/activities\/260008715\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Thursday<\/a>\u00a0was a very strange day. It was almost 11 degrees at 5am! I went out in shorts and run 10k again but this time I tried to put some speed in. I could not. I was still too tired.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/app.strava.com\/activities\/260407833\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Friday<\/a>\u00a0was going to be the last run of the week as during the week-end I had decided not to run as my mum was visiting. So I tried to run for a bit longer. I did 14k, it was raining, but I enjoyed it a lot. The light is starting to arrive early in the morning and I can finally run on the riverside again. At least on the way back. Soon it will be possible to run inside Bushy Park! I cannot wait.<\/p>\n<p>On a side note, I have been shopping for new shoes. The Asics Nimbus have more than 700k in tehm and it is time to change them. I decided to try something new and bought the Adidas energy Boost 2.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/luigifumero.com\/run\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/img_5604.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-242 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/luigifumero.com\/run\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/img_5604.jpg?w=225\" alt=\"adidas\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>They have very similar stats to the Nimbus. Unfortunately I was so silly I ordered them from the web without trying them. I probably bought them half a size too small. In general I think they are tighter than the Nimbus. So after using them for a week to go to work I decided not to use them for running. I&#8217;ll use them as &#8220;normal&#8221; shoes.<\/p>\n<p>I then watched this video (as always the Gearist is very informative):<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"SAUCONY ZEALOT ISO RUNNING SHOE REVIEW - Gearist\" width=\"580\" height=\"326\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Yq7Uh6fX8tU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>and decided to try the Saucony Zealot. I am interested in seeing how a smaller drop affects my running. I went to the local shop but they were not selling them. They were nice enough to let me try the Kinvara for size and then I ordered the Zealot from a web site.<\/p>\n<p>They arrived pretty quickly:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/luigifumero.com\/run\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/img_5683.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-244 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/luigifumero.com\/run\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/img_5683.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"Saucony Zealot\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/luigifumero.com\/run\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/img_5683.jpg 1632w, https:\/\/luigifumero.com\/run\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/img_5683-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/luigifumero.com\/run\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/img_5683-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/luigifumero.com\/run\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/img_5683-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/luigifumero.com\/run\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/img_5683-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/luigifumero.com\/run\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/img_5683-1200x900.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The first thing I did was weight them on the kitchen scale (don&#8217;t tell my wife). They seemed so light! And they are: 100g less than the Nimbus (each one). I cannot wait to try them. I hope to get used to them in time for the next marathon in a couple of weeks time.<\/p>\n<p>Ciao<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is not much to report from last\u00a0week.
