New shoes! And a special announcement for Roseabi...

[Cmoi]

Belated 60th birthday present to myself, Brooks Cascadia 15 Women's trail shoes.

Took them out today for 5k playtime on the muddy paths and tracks that I've been avoiding recently because of the bad weather.

Amazingly, though I was definitely not on top form and it wasn't my fastest time (31:50, 6:21/km, +91m) here are the splits:

1k 6:55, +4m

2k 6:43, -54m

3k 6:06, -41m

4k 6:04, +7m

5k 5:55, +33m.

Yes, negative splits for the first time ever roseabi !

PS Shoes are now no longer box-fresh, but nicely muddy

Wonderful shoes Cmoi! I have the 14’s and they’ve helped me through some serious mud this winter. They’re on the radiator after today’s run as we speak, getting ready for another mud fest tomorrow morning. 😀

Happy trails, and congratulations on your negative splits!

Woohoo 🥳 Well done, the Holy Grail of negative splits. I nearly managed it for the first time in goodness knows how long yesterday, but was let down by km 3 which was just 5 seconds too long 😩 Nice shoes too 😍
