    A year older, & hopefully a smidge wiser.
    Today's (Monday morning) vlog is my full review of the Pikes Peak Marathon race shoe! Why you might ask?
    B/c last year I was up until 3 am after the race, editing the race vlog, & this year I planned ahead and edited this review before the race so that True Love and I could enjoy the post-race together.
    RACE VLOG publishing Tuesday morning, will be epic!

    First off, congrats man! It’s so inspiring to see you balance serious high volume running with your family and work responsibilities. Your channel shows the sides to running we don’t always talk about… waking up early, eating right, recovery work, gym work, flexibility to life events. To see it affirmed by another Pikes Peak victory was honestly incredible, I think all your viewers feel like we won as well!
    Second, QD: I was so excited after watching your fuel cell rebel v2 review that I went to the local running store, bought them, then did a threshold the same day to test them out. I was so eager to see how light and flexible the shoe felt, and I wasn’t disappointed!

    QD: I always run with a little bike bell around my finger (looks like a bulky ring but is made for kids bicycles)... People know when I am approaching and usually they find it quite funny when they realize there is no bike behind them 😅 it was a small purchase but kind of makes me smile each time I use it because of the way people react, which is 99% positive!
    Congrats on your first place, very well deserved!

    Congratulations on the top podium finish, Michael! I'm glad Seth was able to join you -- we've heard good things about that guy.
    Anyway, I think we have all been spoiled by Seth's breathtaking filming up in the mountains that yesterday's official livestream felt too primitive, with their stationary video feeds at the start/finish line and at the summit. Why can't one of the drone companies sponsor a better coverage in these races? That would enable people from around the world to cheer throughout the whole race.
    All that said, I got goosebumps when I heard people started to cheer at the summit around 2:06:30, and then a big smile broke upon my face when I saw Seth's familiar stature nimbly bounce up to the summit, looking strong and energized! At that point, I thought, you got this🥇

    Congrats Seth on the win, I watched the stream and saw you reaching the top of Pikes Peak. Crazy ascent it was, I was following the race on multiple forums to get some news about the race. Got scared when the first time the Pikes peak website got updated and your name was not there on the leaderboard but later was relieved to see ATRA's twitter post confirming that you were in the lead. Onwards and Upwards!

    Hey Seth, congrats on your amazing win! Well deserved considering the amount of work you’ve put in! You’ll be happy to know that Salomon has indeed planned a SoftGround (SG) version of the Pulsar in 2022. Some Salomon-sponsored runners might already be wearing it next week at UTMB races (not necessarily the 170km, but for races like CCC and shorter). New outsole might make it the ultimate shoe even in technical terrains 👟

    Congratulations Seth 👏. Was hoping to catch your race vlog before work but understand your reasoning and enjoyed this one all the same. I consider 3 things when buying shoes - fit, conditions, purpose/intended use. I have just bought some X Talon G235 for plenty of grip (it's flat and wet where I live so practically have to wade through my winter trails). Considered some Arc'teryx Norvan SL 2 (v similar to the Salomon Pulsar) but decided against them as similar poor outsole! Hope you and your family enjoy the custard 😋

    QD: Just bought the Adidas Adizero Adios Pro 2.0 and took them for a track session the other day. I have never worn a super shoe prior to this, and all I can say is wow. The difference is remarkable, running paces I usually find challenging barely even feeling anything. Have a road 5k on Thursday and excited to see what they feel like in a real race. Congrats on the Pikes Peak victory!💪🏼

    QD: Bought a pair of Mizuno Wave Emperor back in 2017, a racing shoe that I always dreamt of having since 2014. Couldn’t wait for it to arrive. I remembered checking my e-mail and package tracker every single day, dreaming running with that pair in every single race I could get into.

  • @murraylynn7631
    @murraylynn7631 3 года назад +1

    QoD: It arrived a couple of weeks ago. My first hydration vest. I picked up the CamelBak Ultra Pro and so for it is everything I thought it woud be. Up until now, I always took a "handhled" hard shell water bottle on my trail runs. It worked but it was annoying.
    I am loving the vest. It allows me to carry plenty of water, gels, and an extra layer if needed. It also gives me a convenient place to hang a bear bell and carry some bear spray just in case. Without water it is super lightweight. Great running purchase. I am loving it.

    Important points is missed in this review. This shoe does not come with an insole and it is a very narrow shoe. The narrow platform combined with the stack height of the, quite soft, midsole make’s it a bit unstable. Those were my experiences with these shoes.

Incredible light weight, perfect fit and great race day performance. For 100K+ I would recommend the Evo Mafate 2 though. I also was exited and surprised by the Altra Olympus 4.0.

    QD: I just purchased a pair of Nike Invincibles. I tried a pair on in our local running shoe store a couple of months ago, but couldn't bring myself to talk to my wife about them, at $250 aud. And then they sold out of my size. I watched every review on RUclips but couldn't remember which size I was, I can run anywhere between a 10.5 & 11.5, depending on how wide the shoe is in the toe box. The store got more stock and I did my first long run in them on Saturday. I love the ZoomX foam, they took a bit of getting used to, but my legs felt much better than usual afterwards. Definitely worth waiting for.
