Intro

This is a quick summary of I Spent 3 DAYS with ADIDAS Testing The New PRO 4 from Ben Is Running. It’s a great watch — we’re breaking it down so you can try the workouts today. Be sure to check out the full video for all the details.

Key Points

The weekend was a mix of easy “Shake‑Out” runs, a focused track session, and a final long run, all while testing the new Adidas Adizero Pro 4 carbon shoe.
Shake‑Out run: ~5 miles (≈8 km) easy recovery pace, perfect for testing new shoes and loosening up after travel.
Track workout: 5 × 2 km intervals at ~3:20 min/km (roughly marathon pace) plus a finishing 2 km at ~3:40 min/km.
Long run: 18.55 km at ~4:09 min/km – a solid pre‑marathon long run in Portugal.
Practical tips: keep your back and hips loose after travel, cut long runs if you feel tight (the vlogger cut a 12 km planned run to 8 km), and use the Pacing app to customize paces for your own fitness level.

Workout Example

Day 2 – Track Session (using Pro 4 shoes)

Warm‑up: easy jog + dynamic stretches.
Main set: 5 × 2 km @ 3:20 min/km (≈ marathon pace).

Keep a comfortable, steady effort; adjust pace with the Pacing app to match your own marathon pace.
