Half Crazy K 2.0


    Has anyone ever run in the Mizuno WaveKnit shoes? Wondering how they compare to the Ghosts. 

     

    I was a big fan of the Mizuno Wave Riders. It has pretty much been all I've worn the last 5+ years. The wave knits are a different upper material from various other Mizuno shoes, I think supposed to be a little lighter & you pay more. That said, I hate what Mizuno has done to the Wave Rider. They were previously a firm shoe, some cushion, but really responsive. Now they are mush--like I feel my foot hit the ground and it then sink into the shoe a little more. I've griped to Mizuno and my running store about the changes--the running store was surprised at my last purchase since it was not Wave Riders.  Since the 20s, the shoes do not last me as long either. Anyway, I bought Ghosts last week, still forming an opinion. They definitely seem lighter than the last version I had (7).

     

    Oh, the Sky version, hated them. Heavy, clunky and also had that double sink into the shoe feel.

                Nevermind what I said about 5Ks.  This was a time trial on the TM, but still.  That sucked.  I ran what I needed to run but the asthma was killing me through it, the phlegm was out of control, and I wanted to die after mile 1.  So, I ran it correctly, no?

                      2.9 miles, probably should have run on the treadmill since it was thundering a bit.

                                Looks like my longest long run was 3:39 for 21 miles. I've got quite a few runs between 3 and 3:30 - basically all runs over 19 miles, which is 3-4 per cycle.

                                 

                                Cy - you've got as many miles in 6 months as I expect to make for the whole year. Nice.
