I’ve returned from the adidas marathon evening with an armful of goodies and I don’t appear to have signed up to anything. I did fill out a form for a draw to win an adidas miCoach, so unless that was a cunning plan to get me signed up for an unwanted time share, I think I got away with it.
They gave over fifty pairs of shoes away and each of us ran over a scan mat to check out whether we were pronators. I ended up with a pair of SNova Sequence road shoes. They rabbited on about “adaptive midfoot support” and “improved flex zones” and I just zoned out after a while. I like running shoes, but I don’t really want the science bit, especially as I suspect it’s mostly made up.
We had a talk on marathon running and preparation from Andi Jones who was very good and really humble and a talk on nutrition from a Lucozade sports scientist, who covered her area of expertise adequately. I didn’t stay for the physio lady to talk about sports injuries as I’d just abandoned the car in a shady area.
Missed the Latics thrashing Hartlepool, but most matches don’t live long in the memory whereas I suspect the marathon and the preparation for it will stay with me for a good time.
