Adidas Adios Pro 5 Solo Marathon Test: Adidas' new carbon racer vs the 26.2

The much anticipated Adidas Adios Pro 5 has landed, translating some of the tech we saw in the Pro Evo 3 into a shoe that more of us should be able to get on our feet. It’s packing a new Lightstrike Pro foam with the Evo’s EnergyRim, new uppers and tweaked outsole. Official stats say it’s 12.5% lighter than the Pro 4 and serving up 9% more energy return. Run Tester Kieran took it for a solo marathon test to find out how all the performs against the 26.2.
