Adidas extends Adios Pro 5 outsole after wear complaints
Adidas has made changes to the Adios Pro 5 outsole to address wear some runners saw, according to a Men's Health review quoted by one r/RunningShoeGeeks poster. A rep is quoted saying there were minor modifications to the LIGHTTRAXION outsole for more coverage and less risk of cosmetic color abrasion.

Holmer: 2 minute intervals beat 30 second sprints for VO2 max
Brady Holmer says the thing that decides whether a workout lifts your VO2 max (the ceiling on how much oxygen you can use) is how long you spend near that ceiling. That is why he rates 2+ minute intervals over sprint intervals of about 30 seconds or less.
30 seconds is too short for oxygen uptake to rise near VO₂ max, and by the time you get there, it’s time to recover.
