They provide a literal pep in my step.
The goal is to build up to race day ever-so-slowly by adding miles and alternatingcross-trainingdays as you go.
And thats where the On Cloudultra 2 came in.
Heres what its been like to train for a half marathon in these super-cushioned, all-terrain shoes.
The sole is thick, but not so thick that you cant feel the road or trail.
The upper is light and breathable and features a sock-like fit.
Theyre available in black and white with a blue sole as well as a cherry and hay colorway.
I got the latter and loved the dark pink hue, celery-green details, and blue laces.
There was a mini break-in period, however.
TBH, I hadnt ever paid much attention to myrunning shoes.
If they fit my feet and cushioned even a little bit, I was happy.
My once-comfy sneakers no longer felt supportive.
And much to my horror, my feet and knees were starting to hurt, too.
I havent taken them on a trail yet, but its definitely on my to-do list.
The Cloudultra 2s are also super springy, which isa-mazing as I work on my stride.
