I was also wear new shoes I purchased in the USA yesterday. I am sure it breaks all rules to just grab them out of the box and go for a run but that's what I did. Felt good to have such a cushioned stride. Saucony Grid Cohesion 5
It was a balmy 10 degrees and I ran the same route as my tempo run and calculated how to add some distance to make it to 3km.
I changed up all my running gear and it worked so much better!! Nothing moved. So nice to run without clothes issues.
I thought my Running app had malfunctioned when the 10 minute split didn't come up at the place I was expecting - I kept running and was at least a full block further when it came up than I was on Thursday and I was blown away to hear my pace was 6:40min/km! No wonder! I actually found that oddly demotivating as I thought it was too fast and I was going to pay later.
But I actually had one of the best runs yet. My tempo was actually fairly even and mainly stayed between 7:30 and 8:15 (I need to compare the dips and spikes to my music :)
I got to my front door at exactly 3km.
23:27 minutes
7:49min/km average
A slight shin pain on the left and that leg felt sluggish.
