Yesterday's 11 mile run felt absolutely horrible, 11 miles 900ft elevation gain, 9:00min/mi pace

Like, I was somewhat tempted to take today off thinking my body was just not ready to jump back into it:



Then I drop this and felt like flippin' Superman during it. WTF?!?!

P.S: I'm starting to believe the science that is coming out that shows carbon shoes aren't great to wear on a daily basis. I don't wear Carbon shoes, but the Speeds do have Nylon, and boooy do I felt so much better when I'm running in them than any other shoe

It's awful for you on a daily basis. Wearing them for a race is fine, but it's cheating your body if you use them long term. Here's a discussion regarding the specific shoe you have:
Endorphin speed 3 as daily?
If you're looking for a lightweight daily trainer, there are a lot of options, including your Speed 3s. I use the NPegasus 39 right now as my daily trainer. I'll move over to the Invincible 3 if I'm just not feeling great on a 5-6 mile day, or I'll use it for some light speedwork/tempo work. If I'm doing intervals between 400-2000 I'll swap over to my Pegasus Turbo.

Hell if you can get out there and put out something better than you originally though, good on you!

It’s still the foams that provide the benefit, the plates just provide stability and rigidity. I think it’s not recommended to run in carbon daily bc they are so stiff, but some people need a stiff shoe. It really varies from person to person. I think rotating, regardless of the shoe, is most important.
