It’s a bit of a mixed bag with the Peg 4s.

As Gaz alluded to, In another post, as the trails are pretty firm currently I went with the Peg 4s for a trail race half, but felt a bit beaten up later.

I run a lot of daily miles, round my local woods, country parks and upto 16k I think they are great and really enjoy the responsiveness as they are pretty light so even great for sprints/intervals etc.

However over a half marathon I seem to be developing a few blisters on the side of the foot, end of my toe so I think they must run a bit tight. Never had this problem before with Nikes and I have two pairs of the Pegs and the same problem with both.

Still trying to find the right shoe. Next purchase will be the Hoka Texton X as I thought the earlier iteration was a great show.

Ahh, you've got the 4s too. I've got nearly 700km in mine and they've been alright but nowhere near as good as the Pegasus 36 trail. I've taken the 4s up to 25km a few times and you're right about the blisters so I think a half marathon is probably the limit.

The 5s have got really good reviews (Edd Bud at least) but I think 100km in them might be pushing it. The Texton X look interesting so I'll take a look at those.

Cheers

Enjoy mate, it gets a decent crowd and a great atmosphere, even if running to old scaffold and back is a bit shit!!
I was going to do the double(the half first then the 10k) but the half has sold out, so going to save the dosh for something else.
There's always loads of races coming up, try this site if you have the bug

Peel Parkrun completed in 30:19 this morning. I was taking it steady as I don't do warm weather, but there was also a queue to enter the finish funnel. Seems loads of participants were more interested in being hypnotised by their phones rather than move down the funnel, but seems to be more a societal than just a running issue.

I tried Peel this morning for the first time. Good course and enjoyed it. As you, I got impact at the finish funnel and also the first bend due to volume of runners.

The timing was around minute out to the time given as 32mins. The quickest parkrun for me since Feb 20 looking at the results log.

It's a great scenic course to run & the volunteers are really friendly.
Were you the chap in the City top by any chance?
