Intro
A breakdown of I Spent 3 DAYS with ADIDAS Testing The New PRO 4 by Ben Is Running. The shoe deserves a close look. We’ll walk through the training he did so you can adapt it for yourself. Catch the full video for all the context.
Key Points
- The three days mixed easy shake-outs, a sharp track session, and a substantial long run—all in the new Adidas Adizero Pro 4 carbon shoe.
- Shake‑Out run: ~5 miles (≈8 km) at easy recovery pace, ideal for trying new shoes and bouncing back from travel.
- Track workout: 5 × 2 km intervals at ~3:20 min/km (roughly marathon pace), then 2 km at ~3:40 min/km.
- Long run: 18.55 km at ~4:09 min/km—solid pre-marathon work done in Portugal.
- Smart practices: stay loose in the back and hips after travel, reduce long runs when tightness appears (he dropped a planned 12 km to 8 km), and fit your paces through the Pacing app based on your fitness.
Workout Example
Day 2 – Track Session (using Pro 4 shoes)
