I thought the first iteration of the NovaBlast, which received a lot of hype online back then, was underwhelming.
But I’ve had my eye on the Metaspeed for a while, and I’m thinking maybe they now have something. I watched the 5k race online with some of the pre-race, and those new shoes looked pretty compelling. And it is hard to argue with the fast times that were being laid down in them.
They ran this near the stadium where the World Champs will be held later this year. McColgan, commentating over the 5k, says the course was laid out to be fast.
I’m disappointed WA pulled out San Diego for the Half Marathon Championships, but seeing this Tokyo race is a good indicator of how high the bar can be set for these events. Nonetheless, San Diego is a marquee destination, and i ran a great Half there back-in-the-day, the America’s Finest City Half in August. Maybe partnering with a huge sponsor like ASICS, it could happen in the future?
