Notes
Attempted first run in New Balance 870v2's. I had some slight reservations about getting these while still at the store, should've gone with my gut. I think the shape of the New Balance platform near the heel, just doesn't jive with my foot. About a mile in, the outside of my left heel started to hurt markedly. I decided to cut my intended 8 miles to 4.
Took the shoes back today, thinking it could be the medial posting, I tried on the 890's and felt the same sort of sensation. Opted for the much more neutral Kinvara 4. I don't intend on putting over 13-15 miles at a time on these. Lighter, lesser drop, just feels more comfortable. I'm curious what kind of mileage I'll get on the Kinvara. There's very little rubber on the bottom of the shoe, but I'm excited to get a tempo run in with them.
