Does anyone know if they always do the "own the run" jacket too? I ran Boston last year, didn't buy the jacket, and kind of regretted it...and they completely sold out of my size. I don't like the huge Boston emblem on the back though and prefer the Own the Run one.
It seems like every year at the BAA expo, they sell out of everything except xxl and xxxl before the expo even starts. Does Adidas look at the size of the average marathon runner when they decide size distributions?
So right. And they should provide an XS as well. We runners are skinny and some of us are not tall.
I hope the t-shirt isn’t an ultralight mesh long sleeve again like the last two. The whole point of a long sleeve is to keep you a bit warmer - I have no use for a long sleeve shirt that the slightest breeze will cut right though.

Adidas used "sustainable materials" for the race/finishers shirts at Berlin last year. Felt like wearing a cheese grater (pretty much fit like one too). But I'm sure they'll figure it out after iterating for another decade.
Peachtree in Atlanta did the same last year. I like the design of the shirt but it has a very weird feel to it when wearing it. Definitely will not wear it running.

I like it. I can use it from the 20’s through the 50’s if the dewpoint is low enough. If I want to be warm, I’ll just wear a jacket. Why don’t you own a jacket?

...but seriously, is there only one front pocket on the men's jacket? I like to run with both of my hands in my pockets. What will I do?
If you're a true superior runner, one who has run a BQ, then you'd know that your other hand always goes down the front of your pants to support your massive junk.
The tough decision will be whether I wear that or the Tracksmith BQ or Tracksmith Boston singlet for the race. I'll have all 3 on hand. Maybe I wear the TS BQ one for the shakeout run and then start the race in the adidas singlet and have my smokeshow wife meet me halfway with the TS Boston one to change into for the finish.

Logo is not nearly big enough. It needs to cover the entire front of the singlet so that anyone within 50 yards of me can see I ran Boston. Need a huge one on the back, too. Maybe make it reflective so that if I wear it at night, people can still see that I ran Boston.
