Love it! But i think they took advantage of some loophole in there/your pizza! Hahaha memories that’ll last a life time!!

That’s awesome Matt. Great way to get the family involved.

You'll crush the Fredericton Marathon in May! I’ll be there to shake your hand when you PR!

Heart rate monitors are useful, but they can take a while to accurately reflect how you're feeling. By the time they do, you may already be running at threshold, which can be detrimental. In contrast, running with power provides immediate feedback, allowing for a more consistent and controlled pace that avoids threshold.

Too funny!

haha this is awesome!

Definitely get a HRM. I have the Coros arm strap one.

Try buying one of those elastic watch strap loops and see if you have any problems. I have a Garmin 965 with an elastic strap and I have never found it to be off. In regards to lifting one way to fit it in when the mileage goes up is to cut your lifting sessions shorter and with less intensity. I have tried this and I feel fully recovered the day after when I run.

They're a race shoe. The fact that you can use them for just about anything is fantastic BUT complaining they don't do things they weren't intended to do isn't the fault of the shoe. Do we complain babies can't do advanced calculus? How about dogs writing slam poetry? "Oh this camel is great in the desert but it can't fly, I hope they fix this" It's. A. Race. Shoe. 🫣

Great work! Thank you for sharing your ups and downs!! Thank you for showing us “regular” people with jobs and lives that with a little motivation that anyone can do it!! And yes you should invest in a heart rate monitor…. I have a polar verity sense its been working good and wayyy more accurate than my garmin fenix 6 pro! Also looking into gore tex shoes for these canadian winters…. Too many options! lol Have a great run!!

I think I will borrow your pizza mile idea. It is hard to include family your personal running journey, but this idea rocks. In Northern Ontario, that track will be a challenge, but I think that will make it all the more fun and memorable for my kids (12 and 13) and I. I am new to finding your channel, but thanks for this great content that I see so far.

It really fun to catch the Santa Claus

Mizuno seem to have done really well with the Neo Vista, curious to see how the V2 stacks up. It's out there now, but Mizuno seem to be keeping a semi tight lid on it for details.

I'm also Canadian & enjoy your videos. It's too bad there's no availability of Mizuno Neo Vista in size 15. To be honest, I don't think Mizuno ever sold it in a size 15.

Really really appreciate these long-term reviews Matt, and will be very curious to know how far you get to with these once you do retire them!! Durability is one of the most important characteristics for me, though it’s crazy the difference between individual runners … I’m one of those lucky lucky ones who seem to get well over 1000km out of almost every shoe, though rarely with the same "magic feeling"! I certainly do sit up and notice those which easily take me even as far as 2000km… most notably the original Novablast and the Triumph 20!!! I mostly do trails though i stick to my trusty Alphaflys for the occasional road marathon… the original V1 and the best!!😁 And they are wearing phenomenally well for me, unlike they did for many!!

Hey Matt i bought this shoes and they was tested for my foots and i love them but after 1,5 km they start hurring. I really love them and i cant get them back. This after 3 times tuning about just 3km per run

I have 300 km in mine. At what mileage do you think they should no longer be considered for racing a marathon?

Way to go buddy! I was thinking of doing the same for the Freddy marathon! But the next week there’s a backyard ultra in edmundston that i wanted to do! Will use the half marathon as a warm up for the back yard! Keep it up and looking forward to watching your journey and seeing what kinda pizza your daughter will get! Hahaha

For someone who struggles in the recovery aspect, the additional level of detail might help them immensely. I'm lucky, in that recovery is something I excel at, which has allowed me to train 7days a week (minus a few post marathon recovery weeks) year round. If not for my recovery habits, there's no way I'd be able to keep up the volume I have, let alone the intensity. It's definitely a tough market for UltraHuman to make in roads into, but it seems like they are doing a good job providing a specialized experience.

Mine some of the energy rods broke around 500km. But still can use, just making squeaking noises. No complaints there for a race pair to last that long.

How did the upper hold up; did the hole get larger, more holes, how long did it last, how many miles please reply???

All the Santa hunters gather here

I dig the hat!! What brand?

These shoes have managed to check all the boxes for me! Enough cushion for longer runs, responsive enough for when you want to push the tempo, available in a wide fit where it’s wide at the forefoot but snug in the midfoot and heel, and the wide fit was available in not-so-boring colors. I had not worn Mizuno running shoes before but I could not be happier and might even get a second pair just in case.

I’ve just bought a pair of these for £100. Felt like a bargain for doing my interval sessions midweek.

When it comes to running, I actually prefer to skip the caffeine. While a lot of runners rely on it for an energy boost, I’ve found it doesn’t work well for me. I like feeling naturally energized and in tune with my body’s own rhythm during a run. Caffeine sometimes makes me feel jittery or unsettled, which can be distracting. Plus, I’ve found that staying hydrated and sticking to a good pre-run meal gives me all the energy I need. So, for me, running caffeine-free just feels right!

No issues with eyelets on Boston 12, but Adios Pro 3 eyelet what the hell happened?

front left eyelet on right shoe, sore on my bunion had to use bandage thick socks - 23 miles only

They just won't go on sale lol. I want to buy a pair for workouts and long runs.

I always load up on caffeine before a race. At my weight, I'm looking for about 400mg - so about 3 cups of coffee or multiple caffeinated gels. Seems to be for the best, my race paces are much faster than my workouts.

Didnt work for me. It took a chunk of flesh out of my toe, just directly under the top inner eyelet. It was a nightmare that i had to stop and walk back barefoot.

you deserve more views

It’s slowly becoming the greatest ever running shoe, 3 pairs in so far and an unimaginable amount of miles

Been watching some of your vids on shoes...Some good deals where I'm living... I picked up a pair of Triumph 20's for $60 yesterday. I usually pop a caffeine/tablet before runnig or workouts. I love my coffee, but not before running since there are no pit stops where I go.

I'm close to 300 miles in my pair and they still feel fantastic. I will be retiring them though in January when the v4 comes out 👌🏻

The biggest problem of this shoes is the upper, it's a nightmare for me, to rigid, I had to sell my pair after only two run.

I think the same, they are suitable for all speeds; +600km with them and they still have a lot more to go, I did 1200km with my first Boston 10 and have +800 with a second pair, but the Pros are special.

Thanks!

Love the ap3 , I have three pairs use them for everything slow easy fast race, Hope I can get some more on discount.

Just retired my first pair after 1400km. And they probably had a couple of hundred more k in them. Unbelievably resilient. Any initial heel rub issues solved by folding the heel flap inwards, covering the woeful stitching between the heel pads.

No one can argue the quality of the outsole and midsole of most of the Adizero line. It's the TERRIBLE uppers. It looks like they have made some great changes to the heel area on the EVO SL and the Adios 9, but the rest still have that terrible heel lock issue. I have a pair of Takumi Sen8's at nearly 500km and I think due to the heel cup having very little structure and the heel collar padding having a slightly smaller gap it's allowed the heel lockdown to be acceptable. But the Boston 12.....yikes! Heel lift city. Strangely enough, while the LS Pro feels great and feels fast, the data says it's a very inefficient shoe for me. Which in training, I could careless. But i'm curious how the changes to the AP V4 (upper, midsole, and weight) will potentially be a huge improvement.

Thankyou simple and works

I’ve lost about thirty pounds over the last 6 months or so, and I haven’t gotten a lick faster at running. I’m baffled by it. I guess I’ve lost muscle too, though I’ve kept the same level of training throughout the weight loss.

Does the pacepro have audio prompts? I tried it last night and I couldn't get it to audio prompt me (on pace, behind, etc)

Can you please tell me Glycerin 21 or nimbus 25,which one is more durable?

Thanks. It was really helpful. I bought it for my mom but I was not sure about the recovery. Love from India 😊❤

Thank you for this very detailed review. I am a route delivery driver living in the Midwest but I was born and raised in Florida so I really had no idea what shoe to buy for running my route this winter. You quite possibly just saved me a lot of money and potentially some skipping on ice

Thanks - great video

Put the work into the half block, recover, put in a few maintenance weeks over X-mas, and hit the ground running in Jan for Freddy '25. The new route is going to be FAST, probably 60-90sec faster than the previous. One of the best marathon routes (if not the best) within 5-6hrs driving distance...or more. See no reason you can't flirt with sub 3:10hr. I won't be running Freddy full this year. But I suspect I will be running in some capacity trying to help a few people hit their goals. Depends on how healthy I am post-Boston.

Thanks Matt, this really helped.
