 He was maybe flipping his hand a little bit or acknowledging that, but when he says that about the top 10s, that's the thing that I wanted to come back to because again, he's got number 4. The bronze goes to top 10 as well. There's a lot of pressure on top 10s, dude. Out here with Joe. How we doing Joe? Dying. Dying. We're not messing around today. Green Mountain. It snowed yesterday or the day before in Denver, so everything is very, very muddy. Taking the Nike Terekiger 5s out right now, and then the Wild Horse 5s later. So, Joe's just crushing it there in the back. We're getting Joe used to the trails. Oh man. Nice day. Nice day, YouTube family. I did loop number 1 with Joe. Joe had to take off, and Joe ran in high school. Joe, you got some nice running for him, by the way. By the way, he's just nice and smooth. You know what I mean? When you see a runner that has a very smooth stride, a smooth gait cycle, it's nice, Joe. Switching from the Wild Horse 5s back into the Terekiger 5s. This is going to be a pretty interesting running shoe battle. I'll definitely be comparing both of these, not today, but I'm just trying to feel it out. This is my first day in both shoes. Oh man. So much for new shoes. Look at that. Oh man. Totally trash now, but it is all worth it, right? Oh man. Okay. It's just, actually, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to keep the Wild Horse 5 on my foot right now, and I'm going to walk around real quick in the parking lot and compare, just see how the two shoes feel between the Wild Horse 5 and the Terekiger right now. Okay. Really interesting stuff going on. I'm just going to say I'll do one comparison today. Right now, the Wild Horse is feeling much more comfortable through the upper. I'm feeling a few pressure points in the top of the Terekiger 5, basically right where the tongue is at. I don't know. I just got to figure it out and maybe pair it with a thicker sock, we will see. But so far, and I noticed it immediately. Anyway, the Wild Horse 5 upper is feeling luxurious compared to the Terekiger. So anyway, there they are. Boom, boom, boom. All right. Putting the Terekiger's on. Time to go clean up. And here we go. My first impressions of the Nike Terekiger 5. All right. Look at that mud. It was a good day in the mud and the hills. Okay. But first, let's open up this box. Arrived today at the PO box. Oh man. Thank you for sending. This is for the running shoe giveaway. Let's see. It is from shout out to Patrick. That's right. Thank you, Patrick. Let's see inside. I don't know the next date yet for the next giveaway. Stay tuned. It'll probably be closer to May. But anyway, stay tuned. I will announce it very, very soon. All right. Let's see what Patrick sent for the next running shoe giveaway. Oh, oh. Mizuno. There we go. Look at that. This is a racer, ladies and gentlemen. It looks like a nice nimble, lightweight racer. The Wave. Oh my goodness. The Wave Ekiden 10. I'm not saying that right. The Wave Ekiden 10. All right. I'll just tell you the size as well. Let's get the size. So this will be a U.S. size eight and a half. So if you're a size eight and a half and you're looking for a road racing shoe, this looks nice. This looks really nice. Look at that outsole. Oh man. Okay. So that's exciting. All right. We are going to set that aside. This will be for the next running shoe giveaway. I like the colorway. Good job, Mizuno. Okay. And moving on to my first impression of the Nike Terakiger 5. This is not my full review. That'll happen down the road after 50 miles. First impression, running wide through the toe box. Yes. Running wide through the toe box. So just so you know, if you like your toes display, this might be a good shoe for you. Or if your forefoot is really wide, again, this might be a good shoe for you. As far as the length of the shoe, I went true to size. It's running big. I wish I would have gone at least a half size down. I've got a lot of space for my toes to move around. I'm not slipping too much, but anyway, I wish I would have gone a half size down. And next time I take the shoes out, I will be putting on thicker socks. Probably my darn tough socks. And so anyway, just keep that in mind. If you're ordering online, you might want to explore a half size down. I almost, for me, I could have almost even gone a full size down. I'm getting a long, long length through the Terakiger 5. Okay. Also, let's move on to the drop of the shoe. So it's a 20 millimeter stack height in the heel. 20 millimeter and 16 millimeter in the forefoot. So a four millimeter drop. I'm a little baffled. I wish it was a little higher, Nike. I'm feeling like I'm doing a little extra work in the heels. Like at least a six, maybe even an eight millimeter drop would be nice. Just putting it out there. So anyway, just my first impression as far as comfort goes. Through the collar of the Terakiger 5, nice snug fit through the heel. A nice lockdown through that heel counter. That is the little flare in the back there that's called the heel counter. So feeling good through the heel, through the collar. This is the collar right there. That's the collar. But I am, as I mentioned, I think I mentioned this earlier. I'm feeling some discomfort through the lacing system. And like they added a little bit of padding on the tongue of the shoe, which is great. I'm feeling nice and I'm feeling nice comfort through the lacing right on top of the foot. But these eyelets, I'm not too excited right now about these eyelets. So what is an eyelet on a shoe? An eyelet is what the lace, the shoe lace actually goes through. So it's a little different on the Wild Horse 5. And frankly, I'm feeling these eyelets and I don't like them so far. So just putting that out there. I had to lace it up pretty snug to get that lockdown feel. And so I'm a little concerned about the upper of the Terakiger 5 through the lacing system. Everything else as far as the upper is looking good. So I'm going to save talking about the midsole and the outsole, mostly for the full review. I will just mention real quick is that this pink here is React Foam. The same foam you will find in the Epic React. So that's kind of neat. Now, strange enough, this iteration, the Terakiger 5, actually gained a little weight from the Terakiger 4. Usually iterations of shoes lose weight. Like you always want to lose weight. But the reason why it gained a little weight is because they added a rock plate through the forefoot. So just keep that in mind. It did gain a little weight this go round for the Terakiger 5. And as far as a positive goes for the Terakiger 5 on my first impression, it felt pretty responsive and snappy out on the trails. That's a bonus. But a drawback, again, the upper is my main drawback. But then also, it was a little slick. The lug depth, I measured it. And I'm coming in at about 3 to 4mm lug depth, leaning more toward 3mm. So I was slipping a little bit in that mud. So I would say that the Terakiger 5 is not made for that really deep mud. That kind of goes without saying if you compare it to the Solomon Speed Cross 5 or the Innovate Mud Claw. Like it's just in a little bit of a different class when it comes to the lug depth. So keep that in mind if you run on really muddy trails. This might not be the best option for you. And so this is the first video publishing on the channel today. Come back, mark your calendars, set an alarm on your phone. I'm going to talk, where is it? I'm going to talk in the second video, 5pm mountain time. So 7pm on the east coast, 4pm on the west coast. I'm going to talk about the Wild Horse 5. In the second video, I tested both shoes today. It's not going to be a comparison video, but I am going to talk about the Wild Horse 5. And all right, price point $130, $130 for the Terakiger 5. And you already heard the hint for the keyword. I hope you picked up on that. All right, in conclusion, I'm not sure yet. I'm actually leaning a little away from the shoe at this point. I'm just putting it out there being completely transparent. I don't know. I'm a little apprehensive, frankly. So stay tuned for my full review probably in a couple of weeks after I put 50 miles into this bad boy. All right, question of the day. How was your week of training the entire week? How did it go from Monday to today, Saturday? I know we've got another day left in the week, but how is it going? Mine was a little tough. I had to cut my volume, cut a workout on Tuesday. It was a little difficult to do that, but I know it's going to be better for the long term, leading up to Cleveland. So that's the question of the day. Thanks for hitting it up down below. This is the first video, again, second video publishing at 5 p.m. mountain time. See beauty, work hard, and love each other.
