https://instagram.com/sondrenmoen?utm_medium=copy_linkSondre Moen, is a somewhat enigmatic figure as befits a Nordic persona who rarely puts all his cards on the table and we have to figure out the meaning of things with regard to him.
This mystery is compounded by the fact that on his Instagram page he names several of his sponsors including Daehlie, etc., but makes no mention of a shoe contract! Furthermore, on that first page of his Instagram there’s one picture of HOKA shoes and then further down Puma shoes, if I’m not mistaken. Bizarre stuff, Agatha Christie mystery....,
On his recent 20 mile long run featured as the last post on his Instagram I cannot recognize the shoes that he’s wearing but I think a lot of people here might be able to do so and reveal what they are?
It appears very magnanimous that the Swedish coach, JS, would offer to take over the training of this Norwegian enigma but I doubt that this will become a reality as the Norwegian appears to be something of an individualist and prefers to control his own destiny.
In summary, it boggles the mind that a 2:05:48 (Fukuoka, 2017) + 27:24.78 (2019) and 59:48 (Valencia, 2017), does not have an established and firm shoe contract! Moen might be an exception in that regard.
I am concerned that his best days might be behind him but hopefully my pessimism is just that and he will bounce back to confirm his previous majestic status.
