Adidas ULTRABOOST 19 - The Speed Test Review | FOD Runner - The FOD Runner

Intro: This is a quick summary of Adidas ULTRABOOST 19 – The Speed Test Review from The FOD Runner. 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 reviewer ran a 9‑mile (≈14.5 km) tempo on a ¼‑mile track, holding an average pace of about 6:00–6:15 min/mile (≈9:40 min/km).
• Cadence jumped to 167 spm, well above his usual 160–161 spm, showing the shoe’s ability to support a higher turnover.
• UltraBoost 19 felt a bit heavier than racing shoes but provided an effortless, cushioned feel for sustained effort.
• The shoe performed best on longer intervals (e.g., 1‑mile repeats) rather than very short 800‑m repeats.

Workout Example:

9‑mile tempo run (track or flat road)
- Warm‑up: 1 mi easy
- Main set: 8 mi at 6:00–6:15 min/mile (≈9:40 min/km) aiming for 167 spm
- Cool‑down: 0.5 mi easy

Tip: If you’re not comfortable with 9 mi at that pace, scale back to 5‑6 mi at your current threshold and still target a higher cadence.

Closing Note: Give this tempo session a go and feel free to adjust the distance or pace to match your own training level—then log the session in the Pacing app to keep your numbers in sync. Enjoy the run and keep chasing those faster, smoother strides!
