Intro: This is a quick summary of 110gram SUPERSHOE- is this actually any good? from Ben Is Running. It’s a great watch — we’re breaking it down so you can try the workout today. Be sure to check out the full video for all the details.

Key Points:

The 110 g Supershoe feels feather‑light, very soft, and works well for both easy (LT1) and harder (LT2) threshold work.
Ben runs the session on a treadmill, using heart‑rate zones (155‑160 bpm for LT1) and lactate targets (≈1.3 mmol/L for LT1, ≈3.3 mmol/L for LT2) to gauge effort.
He pairs the shoe with a modest 2 % incline to reduce impact while still feeling the shoe’s responsiveness.
The workout is designed to keep fitness high before a race without a major taper.

Workout Example:

Warm‑up / LT1 – 15 minutes at a comfortable marathon‑pace effort (~3:45 km pace, a little slower than race marathon pace). Keep HR around 155‑160 bpm and aim for a lactate reading of ~1.3 mmol/L.
LT2 Intervals – 8 × 2‑minute runs at a harder threshold pace (~3:20 km pace) on a 2 % incline. HR will rise, and a post‑run lactate sample should be ~3.3 mmol/L.
Cool‑down – easy jog or walk to finish the 15 km total.

Closing Note: Give the 110 g Supershoe a spin with this simple LT1/LT2 treadmill session and see how light, responsive shoes can boost your comfort at speed. Feel free to adjust the paces to match your own training zones in the Pacing app, and enjoy the run! 🚀
