Altra Timp 5 - L-ewwel impressjoni
L-Altra Timp 5 huwa żarbun tat-trail mingħand Altra. Dan huwa it-tieni żarbun tat-trail li xtrajt mill-istess kumpanija. L-ewwel wieħed, l-Olympus 5, ma tantx serva minhabba li l-qiegħ inqala ma' l-ewwel 150km.
Sa issa l-qiegħ tat-Timp għadu f' post pero partijiet mill-wiċċ diġa qegħdin jinqalgħu. Jista jkun Altra għandhom problema bil-kolla li jużaw?
F'dan il-filmat qed nagħti ftit informazzjoni u l-opinjoni inizzjali tiegħi fuq dan iż-żarbun.

Is the Altra Mont Blanc Carbon ideal for a slow runner? First run
มุมมอง 384หลายเดือนก่อน
I cannot call myself a fast runner. I rarely participate in short runs, but that does not mean that I do not need to do fast runs! Today, I had a fast session on the trails, and it was the perfect session for the Mont Blanc Carbon. The session included a 1km walk, a 1km easy run, and 3* (1km all-out uphill, all-out downhill, and all-out for 1km on a flattish trail). The average pace for the 1km...

Alan and myself decided to try the route used for Agones Race. The route is just over 8km and it's a mixture of road and technical trail. Doable by most people I believe.

Did Altra glue things right this time? Altra Timp 5 initial review
มุมมอง 2422 หลายเดือนก่อน
The Timp 5 received several upgrades from the Timp 4, the most noticeable of which is the Vibram Outsole and more responsive cushioning. I never owned any of the previous iterations, so I cannot compare it to the previous models. The other model I owned was the Olympus 5, which lasted only 150km before the outsole started coming off. Did Altra up the game in their quality checks? Check out the ...
Race Kit + Accessories Review: What I used for the Gozo Xterra 50km run!

Altra Torin 7 - Not what I expected! Initial review at 150km!

The Altra Torin 7 is the first road running shoe I bought from Altra. For the past year, I have been running in Topo Athletic, but they are a bit pricey in Europe. Therefore, I decided to try the Altra Torin 7. My initial impressions are on the neutral side of things; maybe time will change them :)

    • @the-amateur-runner-mt
      @the-amateur-runner-mt วันที่ผ่านมา

      If the cushioning is not flat, definitely, yes! I am assuming that you wish to run a marathon, and you will not sprint throughout. In that case, other shoes might be better. Personally, I choose comfort over performance for marathons because I am not a fast runner (my best time was 3:42).

      I wear Injinji socks (ultra) and my feet still slide with every downhill. However I managed to reduce the volume by adding another insole and I wear Floky T Trail which have silicone and that sorted out my issue. And 120$ is a very good price for it. Unfortunately we don't get those prices for Topo in Europe.

      My feeling is Topo Athletic. Overall it seems to hold on better than Altra (upper definetly). So far the outsole of Altra is still intact but it is too early to draw conclusions. If you wish ask again in a month, by then I will have over 200km in the Timp 5.

    I bought them for mixed muddy winter trails, so I love how warm they are!! Also I really love how quickly they shed water, and the weight of the water (which I really notice in a race with very steep ups and downs) and also how quickly my feet warm up again!! I'll probably go back to the Speedgoat and the Olympus more in the summer but the Speedgoat is useless in slippery mud (Lee Runs Ultras called them the Slipgoat😂), whereas these are a perfect compromise when you still want something which is comfy on the roads too!!

      I am pinning your comment because you tested the shoes in conditions that I will not have the opportunity to test. The cushioning in the shoe is it's best asset definetly, super comfortable. I would be happy to have the toe box of the Olympus and the rest of the Trabuco Max 2.

    Have contemplated a 1/2 size up on this one for anyone with wider last for comfort right out of the box. Although, if you choose to go true to size there is a break-in that is noticeable. Feel like a road shoe with trail grip. Lace ‘‘em up and let er rip.
