@anutuyi You are very welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video!

@SA-rx2ms Actually, I would recommend both in a shoe rotation. I wear the Gel-Kayano 31 on easy and recovery days and the Superblast 2 on uptempo long runs. If I could only afford one shoe, it would be the Superblast 2.

@@oldmanvanrunning Thanks for the response. I usually run in saucony triumphs so I’m looking forward to making the switch to the kayano since they have the Color I need for work.

Absolutely. The stability features are understated and gently guide you to a centered ride. It works to address both over pronation and supination.

@@oldmanvanrunning Thanks for the prompt response, I will keep that mind.

Thanks, Cathy! I'll do my best 👌

@@oldmanvanrunning Good, Bill! That's all we can ask of you, that you do your best - just as you did your best at Boston. Have fun!

Totally agree!

@@Bwebber99 No worries 👍 Good luck in Chicago to you as well!

@@ziadirida I'll be doing 4x400 at my Yasso 800 pace on Tuesday, five days out. It's more like 10 K pace.

@ChristiGalindro-yz3ju Great review, Christi! So glad the shoes are working out for you!

Ordered today! Will definitely post a full review video. Thanks for checking in!

Thanks! Congrats on your PB!....As for your question, I believe the highest score I gave was for the Saucony Tempus at 9.75/10. At the time, there was no better of a "Stability" training shoe that was versatile enough to race in along with every other type of run....I'll definitely consider your suggestion for a future video!

@@CowbellrunnerThanks! That's awesome! Hope to see you there, and best of luck to you as well!

Great to meet you as well, Rich! You're very welcome!...Thanks, and good luck to you as well! Let me know how it goes 👍

Thank you so much, Christi!

@cathynewyork7918 Gotta talk to that "young man", Cathy! 😁

@@oldmanvanrunning Oh, Bill, I have given "the young man" so many lectures over the years about pursuing at least some minimal fitness. I started "lecturing" him way back in 2007 when he was my boss's boss for four years and I was becoming his close friend. [You gotta have "nerve" to lecture your boss's boss, but we became close friends quickly the first year I worked for him, and he is now my best friend.] Actually I am overweight myself - but my resting pulse is 54 in my seventies, and I DO run ... for decades!

@@HenryFrederick Thanks, Henry!

@@JoeFleegel Thanks, Joe! I feel EXTREMELY fortunate, right now

Very cool, Cathy!

@@oldmanvanrunning Thank you, Bill. I am so lucky - living in Los Angeles for my first 71 years, I was able to meet many of my favorite celebrities, not just running celebrities but my lifelong love, Frank Sinatra, and others in show business. So exciting. Unfortunately, except for Barbra Streisand, the celebrity world now has no one I care about meeting.

Hi Cathy 👋 I know the "true" Yasso 800 is 10 reps but one works up to that in training. Also a key element of a Yasso workout, as you know, is to do your reps in minutes and seconds to match your goal marathon time.

@@oldmanvanrunning Yes, I know, Mr. Yasso used 10 x 880 as a marathon predictor, and Amby Burfoot checked with other runners and validated that the formula worked for many runners. Isn't it amazing that "we older runners" actually were able to live without computers and cell phones and GPS and UA-cam??? How did we ever live ????

@@oldmanvanrunning According to the original article from decades ago, the "predictor" value of the Yasso 880s was when doing the full ten reps. However - it does sound like you are in GREAT shape for a GREAT performance at Chicago, even if you did not do the full ten 880s needed to use as a marathon-time predictor. Your marathon-pace long run speaks loudly for your excellent readiness.

@@cathynewyork7918 I actually ran the reps faster than the required pace for ten. I think I can extrapolate out 😁

@@oldmanvanrunning Bill, that is probably true, that you could conceivably slow your reps down and do the entire ten. The Yasso 880 has been such a "staple" in the life of runners who started in my generation that I am just very protective of any "tampering" with it.

Thanks, Cathy! I'm as ready as I possibly can be at this point 👍

@@oldmanvanrunning Cool! You're physically in top condition and mentally ready as well. Good news!

Agreed! I ran Boston this past April and was blown away as well! Both are unique and both are AMAZING!

The rocker is definitely not for everyone.

Thanks so much!.....As for your question, the Superblast 2 is more accommodating than the Tempus for wide feet and definitely more than the Endorphin Pro 3. I am easily able to wear the Superblast 2 in my normal size and width, but had to size up 1/2 in the Pro 3.

@@howardkcheng Thanks!...It does feel like it has slightly more arch support than version 1. It's not a massive change, but I find it more comfortable in that respect.

@daneckit Thanks for the questions!...The arch is close but not as high as the GTS 21. Based on your info, the softness in the K31 could be somewhat of an issue as well. The GTS 21 is an excellent shoe regardless 👌

@@oldmanvanrunning Thanks for the quick response. I was leaning towards the GTS 21, but knowing the arch is higher seals the deal. Really enjoy your vids and reviews. Be blessed!

Hey Ramon! Yes!...Did it virtually during Covid, but strongly considering running it in-person next Spring!

Thanks for the comments! I'll be doing a comparison video between the two shoes (SB 2) so will give my full thoughts, but the neo vista is definitely a fun shoe. Being a stability runner, the main thing that points me towards the SB 2 is that it's more stable. It's also slightly heavier and the midsole is softer. At the end of the day, however, we are all unique and what works best for us is what we should wear.

Great choice! I think the Superblast 2 is the perfect non-carbon plated alternative to the Super-shoes. The stiffness of the plated shoes does not work for everyone for sure. Glad it's working for you, and good luck in your next marathon!

I experiencing the same with Endorphin Pro 3 even with half size up I feel sharp pain center area of my foot for some reason during 20KM. Will try Superblast 2 soon.

Thanks for the question!....I'm intrigued and waiting to see if they add a GTS version as I'm a stability runner. That being said, I liked the 20s better than the 21s primarily due to the midsole feeling firmer in the 21. I'm wondering if the additional midsole stack will soften the feel a bit. I do plan to purchase and review a GTS version if Brooks releases one.

Looking forward to it. Keep up the great videos.

Thanks, Mark!...I don't think you will have a problem getting comparable life out of version 2, especially because of the more durable outsole.

Thanks for the question!...I didn't find them too narrow for my feet (medium width). The hotspot issue is due to the abrasive upper material and the stitching (creating a hard bump) under the bottom eyelets.

@@copperdan7667 Absolutely

@MKay-u7z Can't argue with you there! Your approach is definitely the most cost-effective way to go.

@@weimingchen932 You're very welcome! Thanks for watching! 👍😎👍

@@PatrickStar-km1dm Thanks for the support!

Thanks so much, Christi! Can't wait to hear about you crushing your Half in October! You're gonna do great!

Thank you, so much!! Im really excited! Kudos to all runners training. You definitely have to put in the hard work for these long runs. ❤️

Thanks so much, Ramon! Will be thinking about you, buddy!

Thanks, Lani!

Thanks for the suggestion, Cathy!

@@oldmanvanrunning 😀 Google Buckingham Fountain if you have not already seen it. It is huge, and it is beautiful, especially at night with all the varying colored lights.

Don't worry, Cathy....18 miles with no issues is a good sign, and I'll get some more runs in it before I head to Chicago. Also bringing my Endorphin Pro 4s for a last minute decision. Needless to say, I'll do my best to make the right decision.

@@oldmanvanrunning Oh, good, that you will do further "research" before your final decision and will take an alternative pair of shoes with you to Chicago.

@@oldmanvanrunning See, Bill, I am trying to shape the video you will do post-Chicago - I want to see a happy, successful video, NOT a video saying your shoes gave you such blisters that you dropped out. Okay?? 😀

Thanks, Cathy! Much appreciated!

Great question.....Although I wear many more models than normal during training due to reviewing, here's my primary rotation: Gel-Kayano 31, Superblast 2, Guide 17, and Hyperion Max 2

@oldmanvanrunning cool...I was mostly curious what your wore for long runs. Looks like you could use several of those for that purpose depending on distance/pace.

@@Ginguredrunner Yeah....Gel-Kayano 31 for long, easy runs over 10 miles.....Superblast 2 for uptempo long runs over 10 miles (and shorter). The remaining options are under 10 miles and speed work (Hyperion Max 2)

Thanks!

@@edithtolson8698 Thanks, Edie!

Hi! Thanks for the question...These are best for easy to moderate paces. They're a bit too heavy for tempo or track workouts. Marathon paces are also tough to do in this shoe.

Thanks for the question! 👍 The only difference is that the Lite Show has more reflective elements for running in low light or the dark

Thanks for the quick reply... So could you tell me which one would be good for Nordic walking Asics GT 2000 11 Vs 12 or kayano 29 Vs 30. I'm natural feet.. but realised that my right foot move tiny bit inwards... At the moment I'm using nimbus 25 very comfortable and now I'm looking for something with little bit support but not to much So only for walking not running.. Thanks

@Cellularsurfer Thanks! My first Chicago as well! Best of luck!...As for my goal time, it originally was 3:35, but after my illness, I am shooting for a 3:50 or less. How 'bout you?.....Make sure to say hello if you see me there!
