    Oops. Flash sale at runningwarehouse.com.au yesterday, 40% off store wide.
    Hoped in the car and drove to their physical store which is 10 mins from the house.

    $240 which at yesterday’s exchange rate is €123

    Did a quick tester yesterday. 1k warm up at 4:30, 1km at 3:40 and a little crown hunt on the way home during the cool down which is a short uphill section where I averaged 3:11

    Found I needed to learn how to run fast in them. Requires a forward lean and quite a long stride. My Garmin metrics has my lowest ever vertical ratio at 6.6% for the fast km where I would normally be 9-10%
    Don’t think I’d do a mara in them but keen to try a 10k TT seeing as all races are cancelled.

    Anyone else buy them yet here?

    Think I will wait for the tempo to be release in Europe. Elite haven't had great reviews at the moment and they are already moving on to version 2.0
