In between injury I've managed to reach the 250km mark.
Not being an asics fan I would have preferred to be truthfully able to say that I hate these pair just as much as the last, but unfortunately I can't.
Though, in my personal opinion, they could do with more frontfoot cushioning I have to admit that for a heel striker the sole unit is probably the most comfortable I've ran in.
My Asics Tamboras come close under normal conditions.
Only doing the mountainrace with the gt's will tell whether they're truely better.
Doing the mountain my feet really took a pounding with the tamboras.
What I still hate about the gt's and probably all non DS asics shoes is their uppers.
When cool they are probably the most comfortable even without socks on, but they are so thick that things get hot pretty quickly and thats when the fun really starts.
Probably would have done a whole lot better in both mountainraces had I used better breathing shoes.
Truth is though that I'm pretty sure I won't be doing another mountainrace anytime soon.
Good as the gt's are I'm still looking for the perfect running shoe.
My next pair will probably be mizuno wave inspires.
After that brooks gts...and failing that either adidas or nike.
Here's hoping the mizunos do the job satisfactorily.
