Anything that wants to be done well is by no means an overnight effort. Life is like this, and so is running.
If you want PB, you can’t do without day-to-day hard training, walking in the morning and dusk; if you want PB, you can’t do without carefully polishing every detail, swinging your arms, raising your legs, and adjusting your breathing.
The strength that can be seen is the result, the number on the timer when crossing the finish line, but the strength that is not visible is the silent persistence of every morning and evening, and it is to force yourself to wear running shoes on every day when you don’t want to run. stand up.
Running shoes are the weapons of runners, helping runners to advance at break speed on the field, but running shoes are also partners of runners. Every training that accompanies the runners Day and night, ran through every corner of the city.

Xtep 260 racing training shoes
Following the launch of the Xtep racing family’s running shoes, the second half of the season is starting, and the autumn and winter seasons are approaching. Xtep launched a new racing training shoe, Xtep 260, to help runners in their racing training.
Xtep 260 racing training shoes are the first shoes designed for competition and training. After Xtep captures the big data of runners, it is customized for runners’ needs and pain points. They are professional/advanced and rigorous. Runners with a training attitude are used in training for marathon events.
The purpose is to help them better transition to the state of the competition. The shoes are designed with similar design ideas to those of its racing shoes, in order to help runners achieve a seamless connection from training shoes to competition shoes.
In terms of configuration, the Xtep 260 racing training shoes are the same as the Xtep racing family shoes. The midsole also adopts a “sandwich” structure. However, the midsole of the Xtep 260 racing training shoes uses a nylon plate + newly upgraded power nest X technology. Instead of the combination of carbon plate + power nest PB foam on racing shoes.
The consideration of this design is that daily training is not as extreme as the demand for shoe rebound feedback compared to competition, but some rhythm and interval training will also be involved in training, so rebound feedback must be included, but not too much. , After numerous attempts in synthesis, the current setting is available.
In addition to the core midsole, the upper of the Xtep 260 racing training shoe adopts a flying woven and breathable upper while performing X-shaped punching on the tongue and mid-waist part to bring a light foot feeling and ensure excellent breathability of the shoe. sex. On the heel part, the Xtep 260 racing training shoes are filled with thick foam to ensure the stability of the feet during wearing and give more protection to the ankles.
As for the outsole, the Xtep 260 racing training shoe uses a thick CPU outsole, which is consistent with Xtep’s racing shoes. It is ultra-thin and lightweight, with guaranteed durability and anti-slip performance.
98 Run Evaluation Team
Middle-aged people’s running time is squeezed out, rushing before and after get off work. The color design of the Xtep 260 racing training shoes is very consistent with the runner culture. The morning light on the left foot and the sunset glow on the right foot alternately move forward during the run, just like the changing of time, day and night, just like the day and night of a runner. Persistence makes it easy for runners to think of their past running experience.
Take myself as an example. The place I often run is on the outskirts of Fudan University’s Xinjiangwancheng campus, close to home, and a lap of about 5 kilometers, sometimes in the morning, sometimes at night, and I will check my contacts during the run. The crowd, take a look at the beautiful scenery of Fudan’s Xinjiangwan City campus. Of course, if you run the intensity, you may not have time to enjoy the scenery.
Speaking of shoes, I have been wearing them in the most recent training after I got them. The gradual acceleration after running 20 kilometers has also run some rhythm and intensity. The most obvious feeling of shoes is that the shoes can be fast or slow, which is very “a panacea”.
5. The allocated jogging can be worn, and the rhythm of 3 minutes more than 4 minutes can also be aerobic. When jogging, the shoes will feel solid, but the foot feels moderate; and when the speed is raised to 3 minutes more than 4 minutes, the shoes will feel rebound The boost is obvious, and there is no seeming sense of losing one’s strength.
Compared with Xtep’s racing shoes, the 260 racing training shoes are naturally slightly inferior in rebound boost, but this is because the former is positioned for racing and the latter is positioned for competition. But in fact, it is enough to cope with most training scenarios, and a milder foot feel does not put a lot of burden on the runner’s body.
In addition to the multi-purpose performance, the 260 racing training shoes also have two advantages: the forefoot space and the heel package of the shoes are sufficient:
① Sufficient forefoot space:Personally, I actually belong to the wide soles. The problem I worry about in daily running shoes is that I am afraid that the narrow shoe lasts will squeeze my toes, but I don’t have this trouble when wearing 260 racing training shoes;
② Excellent package followed by:The 260 racing training shoes are filled with thick foam on the heel to lock the feet tightly. The landing is solid during running, and you can run with confidence.
Previously, there were relatively few domestic professional running shoes on the feet, but I also heard about the achievements of domestic running shoes in recent years. Many friends around Xtep Racing 160X and Xtep 160X 2.0 are wearing them, and the evaluation is good. So when I got this 260 racing training shoe, I was still looking forward to it.
Xtep 260 racing training shoes are very light. The measured weight of size 42 is 226 grams. This weight has actually reached the standard of racing shoes. Brother Mao and I are teammates and training partners. We often train together. Wearing these shoes, we ran almost the same timetable. There are two points that impressed me the most with this shoe:
① Strong performance, perfect connection with competition training
The shoe shape design is different. As far as the foot feel is concerned, the Xtep 260 racing training shoes are actually closer to the foot feel of some carbon plate racing shoes. Whether it is rebound or feedback, this allows them to cope with a great deal. Most intensity training. In addition, the stronger landing stability and cushioning than the carbon board racing shoes make it more protective to the ankle and less burdensome on the body.
The strong performance is similar to the foot feel of the carbon plate racing shoes, which gives the 260 racing training shoes an advantage, that is, it can perfectly connect the competition and training to a certain extent, saving the time of running-in before preparing for the competition. After all, we all know that most training shoes are actually quite inferior in performance to competition shoes. If you don’t wear them for daily training, you must take a few special lessons before the game to adapt to the shoes.
② Super high cost performance
Domestically-made running shoes are mostly close to the people in terms of pricing. This has always been the advantage of domestically-made running shoes, but most of them had only this advantage before, and the shoes were actually not very good in performance. However, in recent years, the performance of domestic running shoes has been improved, and the performance of domestic running shoes has been improved, which is very good.
Specific to this 260 racing training shoe, the performance has been mentioned before, and the price of 699 yuan, the entry barrier is lowered, so that more people can try it.
In addition to the high cost performance, the outsole of this shoe uses the same CPU wear-resistant non-slip outsole as the Xtep racing family’s running shoes. According to the popular science of the small partner of Xtep’s running shoes, the durability of the shoes is nothing. Believe that 260 racing training shoes will not be bad, and then feel it after running.
Persevere day and night only for breakthrough
One minute on stage, ten years of work off stage, it is the hard work condensed behind the prominent people. But thinking about it from another angle, only with the “ten years of hard work” in the audience, will there be a “one minute” dazzling brilliance on the stage.
The marathon is also the same. Only after the day and night of persistence, the breakthrough that comes after crossing the finish line is extremely precious and beautiful. What is easily obtained will not be cherished, and the hard-won talents are commendable.
I hope you can be accompanied by 260 racing training shoes on the way you run forward.
