I know it's only mental, but i feel i've lost some momentum with the trip - need to get back to the plan this coming week
Bought 4 pairs of shoes in the US - 2x Kinvara2, 1x Mizuno Elixir, and a pain of Brooks Pure Flow. The Brooks Pure series is their Kinvara equivalent with very little heel-toe drop but still more cushioning than a true minimalist shoe. I quite like the stability but there is too much of a 'platform' feel to the shoe and a loss of feedback from the ground to foot - Kinvara are far superior for me and I'll keep these for easy and recovery days.

Good to see brother! I hope to go visit my brother in USA again some day too. Some good sessions there, especially the 30k wih Clown. Sounds like the momentum is being maintained very well, plenty of time for fine-tuning. Looks like you kept the disruption to the training momentum to a minimum. Wish I could do that a whole lot better. nice move to pick up the shoes over there. I'm making a few big moves to get my shoes sorted out for the the next 12 months. Im going with Xodus for Trail running, staying with Lunarracers for racing, and am thinking about maybe Swifts as the workhorse for intervals on road, and long runs on road. Ive also got some Minimus for trackwork or easy trails...
