First run in the Mount to Coast M1 👟 8km on the trails this morning. Just check out that sunrise 😍 A new shoe to add to my modest trail rotation, and one I’ve been looking forward to trying. I used the Mount to Coast R1 last year for a 106km ultramarathon, and the feature that stood out most then still stands out now: the TUNEDFIT dual lacing system. Two separate lace zones mean you can loosen the front half of the shoe independently from the top half. Over long distances, when the forefoot naturally swells, you can open up the front without sacrificing the secure lockdown through the midfoot. For ultra distances in particular, that’s a genuinely useful piece of engineering. What’s in the M1: Next-gen JETCELL midsole foam, engineered from ATPU using a supercritical foaming process. Described as delivering their highest energy return with twice the material strength of PEBA. Full coverage Vibram Megagrip with Litebase and Traction Lug technology underfoot. Wider base and higher sidewalls for stability on long efforts. 275g, 4mm drop, 38mm heel / 34mm forefoot stack, 4mm lug depth. Sitting toward the stable end of the spectrum. Built for long distance trail races. Eight kilometres in this morning. I had an awesome time discovering some new trails near my house this morning, so definitely more of this to come. @Mount to Coast #Running #runner #runlife #marathon #runningmotivation
