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.

More than half those shoes are not going rk help much at the pace you are running at. Also you can see the treadmill exaggerates the collapse as it compressed under footfall. If anything your form looked best in the strung x3. I have the original strung x and the foam is very firm yet give a great (if somewhat unstable) ride

Oh look i am as guilty as anyone on that front. Work on your foot and ankle strength along with leg strength and it will go a good way to helping how your ankle collapses inwards. Personally I ended up with a stress fracture during a marathon training block due to my left ankle collapsing. 2yrs later I am back running with very similar road form. Of the runners you have there i have the evo SL and superblast 2s. Personally I feel the superblasts to be one of the more stable shoes I have run in, have put a fair few Ks in them now and they haven't let me down. Feel great for 6:30ks right through to low 4min ks for me. Evo SL better for speed work for me. I have the first gen prime x strung and love the way it goes when you put the effort in. Not a great cruiser but kick through and it transforms into one of the funnest shoes ive ever used and definitely feels solid (no collapsing) underfoot. Did a hard alternator 16k in them last week and my legs and feet felt amazing after.

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.
