Hi all. I am trying unsuccessfully to find a place to buy the Do Win PB Pro. Seems to have vanished from Mulebuy. I had it in my wishlist there and now that's a dead link, and any attempt to search it returns the PB3/4/4.5, or the PB4 Elite. AliExpress seems to have a few but only in a very limited amount of sizes. Taobao itself has never been friendly to me.

Does this tend to happen with Chinese shoes, running low for a while and I can hope for a big restock? Or is it a sign that a new model is in the works? Any help would be appreciated.

Last year I ran a Wednesday evening 10K where I've never felt more stagnant and sluggish in my life. Since then, I've avoided racing in the evenings/weekdays. However, one of my local 5K's in June is extremely fast and flat so I feel like I want to give it another go.

Tuesday reduced session like 3×8' or 4×6' then reduced easy runs on Wednesday and Thursday (45' and 40').

That seems obvious enough, but I'm wondering about race day itself. Should I get up and do a short 20 minute shakeout at my usual time (6am)? Was thinking super easy but a tiny bit of pace to spin the engine: 5' walk, 5' easy, 3' steady, 2' LT1, 5' easy cooldown. Prime the legs for the harder effort later.

That 10K I mentioned above was a 7pm start. Previous run on the Tuesday before was 6am, so I'm wondering if 37 hours of no running, when I was so used to the schedule of going again every 24 hours like clockwork, might've put my leg muscles into a coma.
