First few runs in the Altra Vanish Carbon 2 👀
Definitely a different feel compared to the super shoes I’m used to. The 33mm stack gives it a much lower profile ride, but honestly… I think that’s what I need right now.
You still get a surprisingly decent toe off when you pick the pace up, but with way more stability through the stride. Feels controlled, planted and a bit more natural underfoot compared to some of the massive stack height shoes out there.
The wide toe box is also such a nice change. Feet actually have room to move instead of feeling crammed into a carbon coffin for 2 hours.
Not saying it’s the fastest shoe I’ve ever worn yet… but it’s definitely one of the more interesting ones. More thoughts to come after a few bigger sessions 🫡

Did Adidas Just Replace The Superblast?
The new Hyperboost Edge, a shoe that’s built a ton of hype as the Adidas super trainer competitor to shoes like the Superblast and Cloudmonster Hyper.
So… will this restore my faith in Boost technology? Or is it still not quite there yet?
My first impressions review is live on YouTube! Thanks for watching 🙌🏻
Big Loop 🔁
Really wanted to hit this loop so I went out and hit that shit this morning solo 👀 Biggest ride yet.
Man I enjoyed that! Got drenched riding over the border but the sun came back and blessed me for the last 70KM. The climb up Tomewin really had me questioning life. That felt never ending haha
Big bike guy atm 🚴
Whoever has been designing Adidas shoes lately deserves a raise 😮💨
Hyperboost Edge
Colour way - Cloud White / Light Solid Grey / Silver Metallic
This shoe is very exciting and has built a lot of hype since its release as the super trainer to compete with the super blast and the cloud monster hyper. The hyper boost edge will be a great option for eating daily miles and slow long runs and even long runs wth a pickup.
How’s it looking?? 👀
It’s About Time! A Race To Be Proud Of In Ballarat 🏃🏻
Half marathon race vlog is live! 🎥 🏁
My 2nd year returning to the beautiful town and racing. After a non conventional training approach leading into the race, how will I perform? I take you along for a full weekend of shake outs, elite lounges and chef Dave whipping up a storm!
Not usually one to wear a fully red shoe, but these I’ll make an exception 🔥
The Hoka Mach 7 has been a great addition to my easy day rotation ♻️ It’s light, fun and I could definitely pick the pace up if I needed too!
Ballarat Half 🏁 1:21:20 ⏱️
Body felt really good! Felt like I might have had sub 80 In me but my knee said otherwise. Little slips here and there makes me feel like it might not be able to handle the racing? Could be the shoes (third pic shows a bit of rolling😅) + a dodgy taping job. Not bad off 50K a week running.
Either way I’m pretty happy to be running decently again! 😁
GC half 🔜
Race weekend shakeout 🥶
Any excuse to wear the beanie + sunnies combo, gloves made an appearance too. I’m not used to this colder weather but I like it. Perfect racing conditions 💨
@ballaratmarathon weekend starts now 🔥
