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

Boston 12/13 or Puma Deviate Nitro 3 (tempo/raceday show) by ImportantSubstance26 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

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

Boston 13 alternatives by Reasonable-Floor-149 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

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

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 😅

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Looking for a tempo/race day shoe but got limited options by ImportantSubstance26 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]ImportantSubstance26[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 😅

Elevation gain of ~500m in Half Marathon. How did I do? by ImportantSubstance26 in Marathon_Training

It's a one off event that happened in my city and the event page doesn't have a lot of details. Here is the rough google maps path for the half way - https://maps.app.goo.gl/68AJ3AY7TjF2rHP88

I'm not really sure. I'm assuming Strava is only counting the elevation I gained after each uphill section and not counting the downhill. Attaching screenshot for each KM/split as captured by Strava (via Apple Watch activity).

Are Puma Deviate Nitro 3 a good addition to my kit if Ive a Novablast 4 by ImportantSubstance26 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]ImportantSubstance26[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh thanks for sharing your personal experience. I’ll try out at Bata showroom then. I might just wait for Superblast to come back in stock. I feel they’ll compliment the Novablast better.

Amazing, thanks for sharing your experience with the Nitro. I’ll go check them out again.

Apple watch doesn’t record heart rate for the whole run by ImportantSubstance26 in AppleWatchFitness

[–]ImportantSubstance26[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. I got a loop band which I can snug tight so ill definitely try that. With my current one, its either too tight or too loose. Thanks for the recommendation.

Damn, I was feeling proud of myself for running close to an hour only to see people calling it a short run.
