My First Run in BRAND NEW Adidas Adios Pro 4s!

Hello everyone!

On Saturday I took part in the first Battersea Half Marathon of 2025 after a very last minute sign up!

This will literally be my first time lacing up the brand new Adidas Adios Pro 4s - What could go wrong?!

My aim is to start off at my Newport Marathon 2025 goal pace of 4:10/km and speed up in the second half to my current Half Marathon PB pace of 4:00/KM , to come home in around 1 hour 25/26... But you always think you have an outside chance of a PB... Which currently sits at 1 Hour 24:32

Come along and see how I got on!

J Mills is now the voice in my head when I go running. Often telling me to overtake people that are too fast for me.

You wanna know what my half marathon PB is????…..1:23:27 😅😅😅 Unbelievable

I’m another recent convert to CrownMyRun and have been eagerly awaiting new content. And what content it is! Congratulations on the new PB 🎉🎉

Well done J mills 👏 I ran Battersea half sat too, got a pb of 1:31:54 was absolutely buzzing, gps was all over the place, well done 👊

I'm surprised this channel doesn't have more subs. You've got a TV presenter voice, love these videos.

[timjones]

Great running and another fun video! You're definitely in good shape for a sub 3 at Newport 👍🏻 I'm also running Newport and hoping for an identical half to you at dorney lake next week. If i have a good day like you did I'll be very happy!

[Thirddgree]

Thanks Red Shorts / Blue Cap for pacing me to finish 2 places behind you, kept you in sight for the last 15km and it genuinely made me sneak under 1:24 (so I even beat my stretch goal!). Nice chatting to you after too, legend 👍

Commenting every video until we get the "Go with the leader" parkrun styley

Mate, love watching your content. Best running narrator out there! Keep em coming.

Can only dream of running in those temperatures here in Brisbane, AUS!!

Fantastic! Well done, a most entertaining video. I was with you all the way. Or so it seemed, all the way from Sydney Australia... My recent fastest Half is 1h 23-15, so I could understand your pain. Although I am jealous of the flat course, there's nowhere flat for races round here

[mattptommy]

Who would have thought giving you gilded armour would lead to me running a half marathon

[humblequest]

Officially renamed ‘pink gloves’ 😂 Great effort! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Congrats! Your videos always have me on the edge of my seat!

[geoffh]

D.Mills would be proud of that sprint finish J.Mills, nice work indeed!

[maryjolawton]

Wowzer!!! Congrats on your PB! The “Alliance of Pain” has new meaning!

[Steveswift]

Excellent video and love the commentary as per.

[Tom_Davey]

Looks like a nightmare running on that course with all the laps!

[smithidge]

So this is what Matt gets up to in the f1 off season + a great run from J mills well done lads

[kelvin]

Yess! Another CMR video, I've been binge watching your vids since I discovered your channel a few days ago now I've run out of good CRM content :-)

Congrats, J Mills. Superb run and fantastic commentary.
