I am learning how little racing or even running fast I do - still have a pair of hardly used 4% , anything else is just a trainer

Gus - adidas deserve to lose custom due to their naming conventions!

It seems to me that the adizero adios pro are the top of the line ones and they're out of stock everywhere. But the adizero pro is available. I'm a bit off adidas in general but you've tempted me! £130 on start fitness in pink :-o

Macca - hopefully Lee has already written to Nike demanding the reinstatement of the 4%. Should have bought more when I had the chance.

Thanks SKR - working now.

WW -🤣 “release the 4%”, just need a high profile footballer behind the campaign.

I bought some Hoka Rocket X in the end. They arrived this evening and a jog up and down the road suggests they are really nice but time will tell.

Thanks for the recommendation SKR.

I have an orphaned pair of 4% on their way to me. Random eBay find; I check there and Marketplace at least once a week in the hope of such things. With winter coming, I may give the soles of my "old" 4% a scrub and use them as treadmill shoes in the hope that the bigger drop will stop my calves getting roasted when I run on the treadmill.

Velo - do you run on an incline ?

I only ask as many years ago I had calf/achillies issues which were very bad on the treadmill. Turned out the great 1% to simulate running outdoors was the problem.

Run on ZERO and no issues

I can still do hill work on the treadmill just not spent 30/60/90 mins at 1%
