10K, workout #40
I still feel my legs are tired from the track workout yesterday, so it's a good thing I'm doing an easy run today.
The Workout
Today I'm doing a 10K easy run in heart rate zone 1/2. Nothing fancy, except maybe for wearing new shoes.
New Hoka's (Bondi 6)
I bought new shoes for long runs and opted for Hoka Bondi's, because of the low drop (4mm) and amount of cushioning (insane). I must say that I liked the feeling of the shoes – I was a bit afraid of having that 'wobbly' feeling due to the stack height, but the shoes felt very soft yet firm. What I didn't like, though, was the sizing. I have two other pairs of Hoka's (Cavu, ATR) and I ordered these shoes in the same size. Turns out they're much (!) too narrow in front, so a very tight toebox – a problem I have with the other Hoka's as well – but they also feel just a bit too small. I'm going to try to return them and switch over to either the wide version of the shoe, or a size bigger, or both. Why can't companies sort out the consistency of their sizing?
Afterwards
Back to the run. I could feel I was tired, but I managed to keep pace, cadence and heart rate constant. I had a long day at work, and sometimes that just gives me a kind of worn-out feeling.
