I'm gonna start this story But I think I might I was gonna tell you the story about and you guys know the story about this shoe But I might just wait until this I don't want to miss the three-minute cutoff and I'm gonna type also here I'm gonna type I'm gonna type stop and that'll that'll that'll let true love know that all the names between Go and stop will be the ones. So Thanks for being here everybody The studio is Alive and well again a shout out to Luke for making this sign the 10,000 subscribers sign you guys probably saw that in the And yes Let's see. Yes high schoolers you you can participate in this one. You can yes, that is that is true Okay, so 15 about 20 seconds according to my watch according to my watch. All right 15 seconds. All right, I'm gonna type stop here in one second And that'll let true love know five five four three two and One boom stop. Okay. There you go. Awesome. All right, true love. Oh my goodness 200 watching That is amazing. Oh my goodness. Okay, so now what we're gonna do True love's gonna work real hard inside writing down the names and then in about, you know Let's just say 10 to 15 minutes We will do the drawing for the brand new running shoes. That's right And we're gonna be getting the running shoes for all of you Not all of you but for the winners from running warehouse just so you know, okay Basically, you know the drill. I could not afford a brand new running shoes. Let's see. When was it it was? 2016 so these are Hoka. I always want to say Hoka Clifton's but they're actually Hoka Clayton's I bought these shoes brand new Off of Craig's or sorry used off of Craigslist. That's right because we were in a tough financial position and so I get it for everyone out there that maybe cannot afford brand new running shoes like it's the real deal like First of all running shoes are not getting cheaper. I think the The introduction of carbon fiber plates into running shoes is only going to continue to make the competition a lot a Lot higher moving forward and the technology Probably is going to continue to advance and therefore running shoes or not I just don't see the price coming down too much Unless there's competition and I think I have to give a shout out to Skechers for creating a shoe that I think is pretty decent Maybe they don't have the the best quality material in the midsole or the upper But their price point and listen, I know it's Skechers and they have a like not the greatest reputation But for for the price point, I think you're getting an okay shoe. So anyway, all right That was three minutes and again. Thank you everyone for your patience and we are gonna get the names compiled So anyway, this is the shoe that I think I'm gonna hang on to this shoe for the rest of my life Just as a reminder to remember Where I've been and where we're at now, right? And so And just let me know in the chat if you were able to watch the vlog Where I took the boys to buy their first pair of running shoes Kind of like I'm never gonna let them throw away those shoes those Solomon shoes that we got them I'm definitely just like that. I'm not I'm never gonna throw this shoe away Just as again that reminder of where I've been and where we're going So let's see here. Let me just dive back into my my notes Let's see. Okay. So how was everyone's? Run today, right? and we're gonna talk about my Experience this past weekend weekend on Wednesday night in the next live stream on Wednesday night You guys know that the race was canceled, but I took yesterday off Sunday I didn't run at all.

So today Today you'll just have to come back. Actually, you probably already know although did I update that? I don't know if I even updated that on Strava, but I'm gonna show you what I'm gonna run in tomorrow tomorrow is gonna be a solid Threshold run for me and so it's it's finally time. It's finally time Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun That's right. The adidas adi zero adios four I'm gonna wear them for the first time tomorrow. So I will get you my first impressions on Wednesday Excited very very excited. It's a pretty big workout for me tomorrow I've had to adjust things a little bit in the workout space because of the race being canceled But I am gonna drop the pace I'm hoping to about Five minutes of 515 pace So we'll just see how the legs are feeling after taking a couple days easy up in the mountains But this will be tomorrow's shoe. So you'll get my first impressions and man Very very excited and as you know based on the vlog for maybe 10 days ago this shoe the lineup of the adios shoes has basically it has As far as I know the most world records for the marathon distance over the other shoe line-ups like Anything from Nike or anything from New Balance or or the other big companies So adidas and listen as you know It comes down to the athletes and my favorite distance runner highly Gebra Salasi He used to run for adidas. So adidas has a special place in my heart, but this will be tomorrow's tomorrow's run So there we go So come back on Wednesday for my first impressions and I'll let you know about sizing and how it is feeling after some pretty solid pace Okay, awesome. All right, I'm gonna dive back into the chat here real quick and thank you again everyone for being here Oh my goodness. I see a super chat. Oh my goodness For Daniel Daniel Daniel. All right, Daniel, you are the man you are the man so super chats get your highlight commented Thank you for that $10 super chat. Oh my goodness. I almost just forgot something and okay, stay tuned All right, stay tuned for later There's a slight little surprise that came in through the email about an hour ago. So stay stay to the end I almost forgot I'm glad I just remembered it looking at this super chat. Okay quick question Do you know of any good Nike trail shoes? Daniel? Great question So it's the wild horse and the Tara kiger the wild horse is there a little beefier Trail shoe from Nike and the Tara kiger is more of their racing style Trail shoe from Nike. Guess what Daniel? I believe April 1st. I think the Tara kiger 5 is Being released. Okay, so I have not run my brother has run in the Tara kiger and the wild horse I believe but I'm going at least maybe one of them. I hope but I'm gonna definitely beginning the Tara kiger 5 When it is released and it's a lighter weight trail shoe from Nike I'm really excited great question Daniel, but it's those two shoes from Nike. All right, so good question Thank you for that super chat appreciate it very very much and I will just yeah, I'll I'll see if there's any other questions here and Somebody asked about under armor running shoes in the chat. I have not run in under armor I would like to try under armor I've looked at their trail shoe pretty close up before and I it didn't get me very excited just looking at it I didn't put it on my feet But good question. Hopefully the under armor lineup Continues to improve. I mean, here's the bottom line under armor has a huge market in football and basketball But especially football so they are rolling in some good money So hopefully they place some of that money toward advancing their running shoe lineup So yeah, good question from a dritz 400 Okay, all right. Have you thought of running a Spartan or some style type of race? I have not I don't know I think I'd like maybe someday with my boys. I think that would be fun I'm not opposed to some of those Spartan races or I forget the name of the other ones But where they have obstacle courses along the way so and Kyle asked what about the fast twitch Kyle good question. So That is in my mind I'm looking at it as a 5k shoe racing shoe and yeah and a trainer for the roads like if you want to do some nice Uptempo pace runs But the the fast twitch lineup When I put it on my feet, it feels like a nice solid 5k shoe not necessarily 10k Although I I got to watch what I say because there is a faithful by the way. Oh my goodness. Oh 220 people watching you guys are amazing. Oh my goodness. This is amazing. Thank you for being here and thank you for Pushing this channel over 10,000 subscribers. That is I guess I should talk about that in a second But to finish that thought on the fast twitch Yeah, 5k racing shoe on Pavement is my thought there So if you're new to the channel welcome if you're a new subscriber welcome I've been doing a daily vlog for almost three years. It's been a journey and Six months ago. We started to focus a little bit more so on running content And I've been running for 20 years and I just didn't realize there were so many runners out there on YouTube and once I focus the the daily vlog just a little bit to Running content boom we go from a thousand subscribers to ten thousand in a matter of Five months. I think it's been about five months And so I am blown away as I always say so grateful and appreciative and Humble humble that you would be here so regularly watching the daily vlog almost every day Commenting like the comment section behind the below all the vlogs is I don't know But it might be unmatched at least in the running world when it comes to When it comes to running channels on YouTube like it's all because of you guys like chiming into each other's questions And so thank you.
