Summer time Nights 5K Recap
June 23, 2025 –
This previous Thursday, our True Coaching Studio crew laced up and hit the pavement for the Narragansett Summer time Nights 5K right here in Rhode Island.
Whether or not this was their first run, one thing they educated for, or only a private purpose to complete, they crushed it.
To indicate our love and assist for an area teen & wonderful household pal who not too long ago left this world too quickly, all of us wore orange bandanas. These honored our buddy Tommy and his household.
Each time I noticed one in all our runners move by with that pop of orange, I felt this deep sense of connection, resilience, and delight. It was like shiny sparks of Tommy all around the course.
I’m so happy with each single one in all our runners — for displaying up, pushing themselves, and operating with function. It jogged my memory why I like our group a lot.
———————————-
Now, if you happen to ask me if I’m a “runner” my reply is all the time “nicely, I wouldn’t say I’m big lengthy distance runner” as I all the time gravitate in the direction of sprints, soccer, and faster spurts.
With that being mentioned although, any time I run a 5k or do one thing aggressive, I do have a chunk inside me that likes that longer push and having the fitting gear has positively set me up for this sense.
Final yr, I forgot headphones….and it felt just like the longest 3 miles of my life. This yr I double checked I had my headphones and in addition equipped with a brand new pair of adidas lightest trainers, the Adizero EVO SL Shoe.
I wore them straight out of the field (dangerous, I do know) and… zero regrets.
These items are loopy gentle, tremendous supportive, and hugged my ft in all the fitting methods. The compression was simply sufficient to maintain my ft feeling safe, however not stiff.
I didn’t should cease and regulate them as soon as — they didn’t shift or rub and I felt like I used to be gliding.
The cushioning is what actually gained me over, although. They have been tender with out feeling like I used to be operating on marshmallows — or like I used to be thrown again into the Spice Ladies period with platform footwear (iykyk).
They gave simply sufficient assist to guard my joints however loads of floor really feel to maintain me shifting sturdy.
I’d extremely advocate these and shorts to anybody seeking to run some summer time (and past) 5k’s!
To everybody who ran, confirmed up, & pushed themselves — I’m so happy with you.
And to our wonderful crew who got here to cheer us on, thanks for bringing the vitality and assist all around the course!
That is what group appears to be like like.
Be true to you,
Kasey
