I love it when a purchase lives up to its billing. I bought a pair of Brooks Adrenaline ASR 5 hybrid street/trail running shoes from the Auburn Running Company 100 miles ago; and tonight for the first time truly experienced the increased traction over my previous Brooks Adrenaline 8′s—built for the street.
It’s been raining steadily for the past week and today, even though it was still drizzling, I headed out on one of my favorite Auburn runs along the Shirland Canal trail from Pacific Ave. out to Eagle’s Nest. The trail was sloppy muddy with a lot of exposed stones and roots.
It actually felt like my Adrenalines had suction cups on the bottom of them. With each step I felt (and heard) dozens of tentacles release my foot from the mud. They stabilized my footing without holding me back.
Terrific shoes!
