First run in the Vanish Carbon 2 today. Coach Sandi let me run a 6x6 today. She writes it with 90s recoveries instead of 60s, but it was hot out today so the extra recoveries were welcome.
.
The Vanish Carbon adds rubber to the outsole and it feels like there more of the Ego Pro foam, which is a good thing. It’s got a good amount of cushion and decent bounce. It feels light.
The relatively roomy foot shape is always a welcome feeling for my chronically cramped toes.
.
Testing continues: should I be looking at this as a 50k shoe? Is this the trail super shoe I’ve been looking for? Is the best daily trainer Altra makes (if money were no object)?
