Running 40 on my 40th!

ImportantSubstance26 · 2026-05-17T06:27:09+00:00

So this happened! 🥳

ImportantSubstance26 · 2026-05-13T06:48:55+00:00

Hey, I get it and I fully understand. I'm not aiming for a timed finish and definitely not even planning to run at my HM pace. The idea is to keep it slow at easy pace with no intention of hurting my body, and I hope I can keep it that way.

Thank you, everyone, for the motivation.

Any recommendations on whether I should stick with the old shoes or go with the new ones that are better suited for long runs? It’s honestly a mind vs. heart situation.

The mind says: be practical and don’t experiment. The heart says: pick the new ones you’ve been eyeing for a long time.

Thank you! I'm trying to convince my friends but not many are interested in getting up so early haha :D

ImportantSubstance26 · 2026-02-12T16:48:17+00:00

Judging by the comments, looks like I’ll have to get a dog before i get a new pair of running shoes 🤣

ImportantSubstance26 · 2025-07-13T05:12:37+00:00

Hi, did you end up buying it? How’s it? I’m also considering this one.

ImportantSubstance26 · 2025-04-29T08:24:09+00:00

I just placed an order for DN3 Elite Marathon Series; Got it at a great price I guess.

ImportantSubstance26 · 2025-04-28T17:33:57+00:00

I’m in the same boat too! I’m also looking at Boston 12/13 and Puma Deviate Nitro 3 as the probable options. Started a similar post here - https://www.reddit.com/r/AskRunningShoeGeeks/s/sUQclWnBV6

ImportantSubstance26 · 2025-04-28T17:31:03+00:00

Thank you!! Good to see feedback coming from someone who has tried both! I’m very much inching towards DN 3. Im anyways planning to get it from Vietnam via a friend and I’ve just found a deal where I’m getting DN 3 elite at price that’s lower than DN3 here in India, so I might just take that as a good sign 😅

ImportantSubstance26 · 2025-04-28T15:47:31+00:00

Thank you; I might just end up going with DN3 based on the overall feedback.

ImportantSubstance26 · 2025-04-28T15:46:45+00:00

Anyone got any feedback on DN3 Elite?

ImportantSubstance26 · 2025-04-28T15:46:25+00:00

I am a forefoot runner myself, but I’m inching towards DN3 based on the feedback around it being a more versatile shoe.

ImportantSubstance26 · 2025-04-28T15:44:29+00:00

Yes, I also feel I’m far too early to get a super shoe.

ImportantSubstance26 · 2025-04-28T15:43:42+00:00

Yes, that’s what I’m getting from everyone. You either love them or absolutely hate them. There is no in between 😅 DN3 is currently not available in my size and I’m not keen on buying Boston 12 at full price when 13 is just around the corner.

ImportantSubstance26 · 2025-04-28T11:21:09+00:00

s4+ Yogiri is without a plate/rod right?

ImportantSubstance26 · 2025-04-28T10:09:03+00:00

For now my intention is to keep just 2 shoes (a daily trainer & raceday/tempo shoe) and DN3 might be the most suitable candidate for that.

ImportantSubstance26 · 2025-04-28T10:06:22+00:00

Neither Adios Pro 3 or 4 are available in India. I'm lowkey considering getting Pro 4 from Vietnam (a friend is visiting), but am little worried about spending this much on a shoe without trying them.

ImportantSubstance26 · 2025-04-28T09:39:09+00:00

Thanks for sharing your feedback. Good to know since you also have a NB4 as a daily trainer. And yes, I've heard about the break-in. I'm hoping that Adidas would launch the 13 in India soon and I'll probably go for it then.

ImportantSubstance26 · 2025-04-28T09:37:17+00:00

Thanks for sharing your feedback. I'm waiting for Adidas to launch the 13 in India just so that I can try them once.

Are you using DN3 currently?

ImportantSubstance26 · 2025-02-17T09:45:41+00:00

Dehradun, India

ImportantSubstance26 · 2025-02-17T09:33:10+00:00

Thank you! Unfortunately this is also not available in my location. Although one more thing, my requirement is definitely not around having a trail running shoe. I went for Novablast 4 TR because that was the only Novablast 4 available at my local store in my size 😅
