Adizero Prime X Strung

I recently got my hands on an a Prime X Strung, OG version. My god, I am at a loss of words for the shoe. I am holding myself back at a shoe After soc, so long. The guy had one more in stock, in the same size. I will buy that one too. Tomorrow is a 20K day with some subthreshold work. Safe to say I am excited for the run compared to a weekend of love making lol

To be honest I don’t like shoes with cutouts. With this one, I need to change my stepping a bit and go on my forefoot more. I haven’t used them for slower paces for myself. Usually faster than 4:30/km apart from warmups. They do give that feeling for rolling the ankles. I try not to prefer roads with sudden turns etc with them. It’s a price I am willing to pay for what it’s worth though.

Both great shoes, two different use cases. Hyperboost - fun, energetic, light- epic for long runs with the extra kick when you need it. Adizero Prime X Strung - built for running economy and fresh legs after hard progressive long runs - if you go out long and hard.

I have evo SL and a pair of prime x strung and after replacing the laces on both ive not had an issue with lace bite since. Easily worst laces I have come across

Prime X Strung sounds like an ideal cruising shoe for a 4+ hour marathon. Little heavy, but lots of stack and protection.

Over the last 4 months I've only used Carbon Race shoes, My legs and feet have never felt better, my running has improved significantly, but, I think there's probably a sweet spot where this works that's connected to weekly milage and overall milage, if you're running 160+km a week you're going to need some recovery/easy runs and Carbon Race shoes just aren't the best for that, but then either are the Megablasts... I personally run 60-90km a week and don't do any easy running, If I use training shoes running 90km a week I'd need a recovery/easy run, but the Carbon race shoes look after my legs better so I just don't need it if only using racers which is great because I loath easy running, I also find them more comfortable, the versatility I need is all at the higher end, and in many instances the durability is better than daily trainers or easy/recovery shoes. I very rarely pay more than £140 for a pair of shoes.
