I wanted to see just how fast these Porsche Design Endurance Boost running shoes could go. So I ran some 400s, 200s and 100s at the Truckee High School track this morning. I didn't get there terribly early so the sun was up and it was getting warmer.
I started with a half mile jog warm up, then ran four 400s with slow 400 jogs in between. Each 400 was a little faster than the last. Then I ran four 200s with easy 200 jogs between. The 200s were faster than the 400s. Then I pushed the pace with four 100s with 100 walks separating them. And finally another half mile cool down jog.
I was frequently in the 6 and 7 minute mile range with low 6s for the 100s. I still didn't go 100% as I'm just a month back into running. I need to be patience and build my speed back up.
The Porsche Design Endurance Boost shoes are so fast on the track. As if they're built for this. I was flying along almost as if my feet weren't touching the ground. I am looking forward to running fast in these after I've built my running base back up!
Follow my continuing passion to explore new adventures on Porsche bicycles. I have conquered a Century ride with a Porsche mountain bike, the Death Ride on a Porsche touring bike, the 184.5-mile Chesapeake & Ohio Canal Towpath in 2020, the 370-mile combined C&O/GAP trail in 2021 and the 237-mile Florida Coast to Coast ride in 2022. Now I'm focused on the Maryland and California Coast & Coast adventure!
