I generally dont write full posts about shoe sales (not sure how I feel about doing this more often is it helpful to be alerted of these things?), but I got an email from adidas today indicating that Nike Air Vapormax Donne they would be running a 20% off sale from September 7 to September 14. This discount applies to any running shoe sold on adidas.com (includes free shipping Adidas Superstar Womens on orders over $50), including one of my current favorite shoes, the adidas adipure Gazelle (see red shoe above).Adidas Nike Air Max Axis Femme MotionI reviewed the Gazelle a few weeks ago, and have since put a bunch more miles on it its honestly one of the best shoes Ive run in for a long time. Super comfortable, flexible, and just enough cushion for running both long and fast on the roads durability after 50+ miles has been great. With the discount, the $100 price tag drops to $80, which isnt too bad for a running shoe these days. I also just received a pair of the 8mm drop adidas Motion (see blue shoe above), which is also part of the natural running series. The Motion is also incredibly comfortable, and I suspect it might become my top pick as Nike Air Max 90 Femme Rose a mild step-down shoe for someone moving away from traditional 12mm drop shoes stay tuned for a www.heinohellwig.de review!.I just read a fascinating article in the New Yorker about a guy who has supposedly made a living out of cheating his way to sub-3:00 finishes in marathons around the country. Apparently Kip Litton has a habit of mysteriously finishing near the top of his age group in races despite other runners of similar pace failing to see him out on the course.I was familiar with the name Kip Litton from the Lets Run forums, but had never actually read any of the threads about him. However, for some reason the name seemed familiar to me, and I couldnt quite put my finger on why. Tonight I figured it out.The New Yorker article indicated that Litton had run sub-3:00 (2:54:06 to be exact) at the 2009 Manchester City Marathon here in NH. I also ran that race (in a much slower time), but its also Nike Air Max 2017 Womens the race that my students filmed for the Nike Air Max Vision Womens foot-strike paper that I published back in 2011. Upon reading this, I knew that was where I had seen the name before. Part of the process of writing that paper involved me poring over Brightroom race photos to ID runners by their bib numbers, and syncing videos of runners at miles 6 and 20. Turns out Kip Litton was one of the runners for whom my students captured no video or still photos at either mile 6 or mile 20. We had either a video or still photo for 95% of the top 300 marathon finishers in this race, and his name stuck in my head because I had spent awhile searching through my videos for him. This doesnt prove anything about whether his result in this race is to be questioned (he could just be one that we missed), but its interesting when something clicks in your head like this.
Consistent with what is written about his other www.matthieugranier.fr races in the New Yorker article, Litton only has two photos taken Nike Air Max 95 Femme by the official race photographers at Manchester (Brightroom), and both are approaching Adidas Falcon Mens the finish line none from earlier in the race. His Bib # was 195, and its hard to make it out in these photos, but they look like other pictures of him on the web. He was four minutes behind the woman in the photo at the half-marathon timing strip (she was the female winner of the race), and based on the race results Litton was the only finisher in the top 30 who ran a negative split. Manchester is a brutally hilly course, and running a negative split there is extremely difficult. |
