 The next carbon fiber plate is here in this box. We're gonna open it up Later lay, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for the suspense doing today's run in the Nike Vemero 14 Today's an easy day a recovery day doesn't make sense to lace up in a carbon fiber shoe So we're gonna hold off on that stay tuned. Come on YouTube. Come on All right Seven and a half miles in the book seven and a half miles good run squeezing it in during nap time. We did it is anybody else Struggling a little bit with tightness or I don't want to call it pain But tightness on the bottom of your feet on the outside when you wear the Nike Vemero 14 I just gonna be I always want to be transparent and clear with you guys I'm struggling with the Vemero 14's right now for the last two or three runs Whenever it takes my feet like three or four miles to warm up to the shoe and Toward the end of the run. I felt good today But in the beginning like it just feels really really tight on the bottom of my foot on the outside of the foot Anyway, just putting it out there as a discussion starter. Okay Back to I forgot one point yesterday. We talked about doubling remember that yesterday So I forgot I forgot to mention a very very important point You can build your aerobic engine by doubling by running twice a day not every day But you can do that to increase your volume You can build that v8 engine However, I have not heard a lot of people talk about What happens if you build a v8 engine inside of you your aerobic engine? But then it turns out you've got two flat tires on your car that v8 engine is gonna be pretty worthless Pretty worthless, and I've seen it over especially especially in the ultra-running world. There's Over training syndrome OTS. It's called and it's more prevalent. I'm sure it's prevalent in the marathon world as well But in the ultra-running world Professional elite runners can really fall into this OTS this overtraining syndrome So where basically they feel like they need to be running Hundreds of miles like we're talking hundreds and hundreds of miles a month like a lot of running too much running and so anyway I just throw that out there Be careful you can double you can increase your volume But don't make sure you don't have two flat tires at the starting line Meaning your legs are shot to you know what shot to you know what where they just cannot turn over No push-off know nothing because you are Overtrained and you got flat tires. All right soon soon ladies and gentlemen first a little dinner time I almost forgot before dinner the shoeboxes in the studio are not staying on the wall No more sticky dots Time for some nails time for some nails We're secure now.

I submit that it does not it does not ladies and gentlemen point number two Did you know youtube that we just survived we just survived the most Difficult time of the year to produce to film to edit and to publish a daily vlog for all of you why? The sunlight Finally the days have you noticed where you live the days are getting longer now if you're in the southern hemisphere I guess the days are getting shorter but up here in the northern hemisphere I could not be more excited because as a videographer It's all about using the light to your advantage. And so anyway, I just noticed tonight like oh my goodness It's 6 p.m. And I can still see a teeny tiny bit of light out there. All right end point number three. Here we go Pulling up strava. I don't know how often I'm gonna do this But of course I am blown away by the demore global running group and let's just look here So 500 and 66 runners right now Since we started since we started which I think was like five days ago Together we have all run. How many miles? All right. Can you take a guess? 8,038 miles collectively we have run. Oh my goodness This is amazing. So anyway, I am blown away.

We done good. We done good Thank you, Blake. Let's use this knife to open up the box. All right guys. This is it the second carbon fiber plate Running shoe racing shoe that I have ever owned and I think tomorrow I'm going to give you a rundown on the history of the carbon fiber plates In running shoes like when did it start? Who was the first running shoe company to put a carbon fiber plate into their shoes? It's probably probably not who you expect and as many of you know the vapor fly 4% flying it Completely shook up the running shoe market in 2018. We're talking it was like a it was like a media frenzy Like this shoe was all over the place all over the news Many many of the major marathon winners were in this shoe in 2018 Um, and it's it's being used in 5k races all the way up to the marathon However, did you notice uh, somebody pointed out to me that the houston Marathon winner in june in january. So a couple weeks ago. He was in in he was in an adidas shoe Uh, it was the adidas not the boston the adidas Adios, I think the adidas adios 3. Oh, I forget exactly, but it was an adidas shoe It was not this shoe. So it's gonna be interesting to see how the carbon fiber plate Is introduced into different running landscapes in 2019. All right, and guess what? This is this is the beginning this it's happening right behind me in that box. Shall we do this? Shall we do this youtube?
