Do you find there's much difference between the speed 2 and the pro 2? I use the speed 2 for racing at the moment. Half marathon road races are the furthest I've done, but I'm stepping up to the Marathon distance next year and was thinking the progression of shoe would naturally be the Pro 2? Would welcome your thoughts.
@@garethpurkis872 I have the first version of the speed and pro. To me at least there definitely feels like there is more of an energy return with the pro. I ran intervals in them once so my first run wouldn't be in them on race day and the intervals felt almost effortless. Maybe placebo but the carbon plate is stiffer thus more return.
Just started really running over the last 2 months after losing 60 pounds and bought my first pair of running shoes about a month ago and love them so far, Nike React Miler. Got my first ever 5k coming up in a month and hope to start building my shoe rotation with a race day shoe next.
Got a small shoe rotation . Use Saucony Ride 13 for faster sessions (as I’m not fast). Then Glycerin/Triumphs that use for daily easy and long runs. Want a bigger rotation but I’m fairly light and perhaps not too bad form as shoes never run out! Got some on 1,400km that look and feel fine. Very annoying, want to buy more shoes!!
My rotation is Saucony Endorphin Shift & Novablast v.1 for daily training, brooks Launch 7 for tempo and some intervals and the Saucony Speeds for intervals and races! Interestingly, until 600km always reached for the Novablasts over the Shifts for long runs as I felt the Shifts were noticeably heavier but since 600km I’ve started loving the Shifts and I feel they have retained their mid-sole better. It’s really amazing how I’ve changed my preference between those 2!
My rotation is Nike Next %2 for fast racing, New Balance 1080v10 as a daily tarmac shoe, Nike Trail 2 for grass, bumpy or anything off road and finally New Balance 411v2 as just my normal walking around trainer. I can recommend them all and Ben's reviews has helped me with these. In particular for me with the 1080v10 and the Nike Trail 2's 👍
Great video for those starting to build a rotation. I think another benefit is when you're retiring a shoe, as you can build up mileage in the new shoe while wearing them in rather than having to do a complete swap.
I've ended up with a 4 shoe rotation. Daily: Nike Pegasus 37 Flyease, Speed: Saucony Endorphin Speed, Race: Nike Vaporfly. Overlapping with your suggestions quite a bit! Rather than a recovery I have a long easy run shoe: Nike React Miler.
Just finished interval session of week 11 of your intermediate half marathon plan. My Garmin thinks I'm peaking which is a good sign! Not sure I'll manage 1 hr 35 mins but feeling confident about a PB and 1 hr 40 mins. Will let you know!
Great video Ben.
My rotation at the moment:
Puma Velocity Nitro - daily / recovery
Saucony Endorphin Speed - long intervals, tempo, long runs
Adidas Boston 9 - short intervals
New Balance 1400 v6 - short intervals, track, races up to 5K
Nike Vaporfly Next % 2 - races longer than 5K
Salomon XA Elevate - hard trails
Innov8 X Talon 212 - muddy trails / XC racing
Saucony Havok XC spikes - XC racing
Hi Ben, great video. Interestingly enough I do my road races in the Nike Tempo Next %. I find them excellent for this. In total I have about 10 pairs of shoes. One I recently brought were the Asics Noosa Tri 13 and I was pleasantly surprised. Light, stiff ish and promotes quite a quick turn over and very comfortable. One pair I brought for a daily trainer was the Brooks Ghost 13 which I have to say I did not like. I found them energy sapping. I know a lot of people love this shoe but it just wasn't for me.
Great video. I do rotate race shoe and a training shoe. .. nothing like running Ona carbon shoe on race day. Gives you that pop 😀. Hoka Clifton’s are my go to. They just keep you going and going on those long runs.
daily/recovery: a few pairs of True Motion Nevos, True Motion Aion; workout: Nike Tempo Next %, True Motion Solo; race: Adidas Adios Pro 2. They all work really well for me as a heel striker, including the Nike Tempo, I just bought another pair. BTW Ben it would be great if you could give your recommendation for non elite groups like heel strikers or people how may need some stability because of pronation (like the Adidas Pro 2's lateral bias that did not work for you).
Well I’m taking that top reason for building a shoe rotation. Current.y I have the Hoka rincon 2 and Atreus base model as mu daily trainers, 1080 v10s as my long run/easy shoes and the saucony speed v1 for my tempo days. I also have some Pegasus trail 2 and Hoka torrents 2 for trails. Love them all!
This video is really helpful as always, thanks Ben x
My all nike rotation: pegasus 38 for easy and trail, zoom fly 4 for quicker pace average runs and tempo runs, streakfly and vaporfly next% 2 for speed workouts, alphafly for road races, and air zoom victory and dragonfly for xc and track races.
Thanks for the video!! Crazy where running is today. In my early running days (late 70's early 80's) Their were two kinds of shoes Canvas and Leather. Of course leathor eas viewed as the best material. It seemed that all athletic shoes were called gym shoes. It was New Balance in the mid-eightees that revolutionized running shoe technology. Keep in mind, people in Marathons were wearing shoes like the first versiions of the asics tiger, nike tailwind, and other similar shoes. So, the light and plush (which by todays standards would be low cushion shoe) . Interresting to now be looking at not just new technology but also having a shoe rotation!
For trail running I use the Hoka Speedgoat 4 and Lasportiva Mutant, very comfortable but for the best grip, in a trail shoe that I have ever used is the LaSportiva Mutant. Whether it is wet slippy, moss covered rocks, wet grass, scree... you name it these shoes will grip anything any everything. You can place your foot and know it will just stick. Definitely my choice for the Bob Graham round and anything long in the mountains.
London? I liked the main reason to have more shoes, because it’s fun!
Daily/recovery : reebok floatride 3 (recommended by you!) or old pair or Ultraboosts
Pegasus 38 : long/steady/tempo
Adidas sl20: tempos/intervals
Vaporfly: TT, Races, intervals
I've definitely seen the benefit of using lots of shoes, makes things more interesting and gives purpose to every run. Bought these all within a 4 month period so dreading replacing them all 😂
The mouse-over preview of this video is awesome, looks like you doing the most epic moonwalk ever seen!
I'm new to running and by trial and error as well as youtubers recommandation I curently rotate the following:
1. Recovery - Puma Velocity Nitro
2. Tempo/Intervals - Saucony Velocity Speed 2
3. Easy Run - Hoka Clifton 8
As for my next shoes I have two in mind:
1. Race shoes - Nike Vaporfly 2
2. Trail shoes - Hoka Speedgoat 5
Got the floatride 3 after watching your review way back. Done 600+ miles in them and still ok. Looking to refresh soon for winter. I switch between those and my vivo barefoots day after day.
Similar rotation. NB 1080 v11 for easy/ daily mileage, NB Rebel V2, (never tried the V1), for workouts and Next % for race day. Just bought some Next % 2 in Black that came out in the last 10 days so looking forward to trying them out. 👍
Hey Ben! Hope you are ok! My rotation: Saucony Triumph 18 for long run and the rest is Saucony Kinvara 12 (I have 3 pairs...love them sooooo much!)
I totally agree with your daily shoe I love the Reebox floatride energy 3.0
Only in the last 2 years have I build up my rotation, but I’ve been running for 17 years so late to the party but love them now. So race day I have Nike next % v1 and the Alfa flys, speed, tempo Nike zoom fly flyknit v1, short to medium runs peg 37 long runs Nike react miler and New Balance beacons v2 recovery runs peg turbos v1. And I do notice the difference in my runs with the different shoes.
4 shoes in my rotation, Nike Tempo Next% for longer runs and Harriers sessions, Nike ZoomX Invincible for my recovery runs and then the Nike Alphafly for race days. Also got the Nike Pegasus 2 for when I hit the trails.
I started running at new year in works trainers! A few months later bought some Brooks Adrelenine 20s which have been great, then a few weeks before my first organised half marathon recently i realised they had done 400+ miles and thought i might try the 21's.When i went to buy them i also bought brooks launch 8 GTS as a faster slightly less comfortable one for the little 5k parkruns as i do like to go as fast as i can on those.So for now those 3 are rotated,maybe some trail shoes some time soon.
Six shoe rotating at the moment Ben.
Daily Peg 36/ Infinity react
Recovery: Invincible
Speed: Zoom Fly flyknit but trading these as they're getting old and feel clunky.
Race: Vaporfly 2
Track: Dragonflys.
I have a narrow foot and Nike have always suited me for this reason.
Long runs: Brooks adrenaline GTS 21
Trail: Salomon XA Bondacliff GTX 2
Daily: Nike Winflo 8 (also decent for speed)
For years I was using Karrimore Tempo 3, simply because they were cheap and did the job. When I finally decided to get a decent pair, I could feel the difference and saw it in my performance as well.
Got my 1080v10s and the Pegasus 36. Love em both. Ben, no London marathon video mate?
As for me, i sort of min/maxed my shoe choice down to two shoes --- Hoka Wide clifton 8 for majority of my runs, and then Hoka rocket x for fast tempo runs / races. so really 80 percent of my mileage is in the clifton and 20 percent i the rocket x
Love me a good shoe rotation! Mine looks like this:
1. Daily: Nike Pegasus 38
2. Speed: NB Rebel V2/Saucony Endorphin Speed V1
3. Racing: NB RC Elite V2
4. Recovery: Nike Invincible Run
I'm just beginning to properly build a shoe rotation. For years I just ran in one brand of shoe: you guessed it, the Peg, occasionally throwing in a minimalist free runner. At the moment my rotation is
Daily/All Purpose: Nike Air Pegasus + Saucony Ride (last couple interactions of Pegs disappointed me, so I've started experimenting, and find the Ride my fav alternative. Looking forward to really breaking in my new Peg 39s, as I've heard they've reverted back to earlier iterations.
Speed/Drills: I'm a big fan of the Saucony Kinvara. Like the most maximal minimalist shoe, feels like you're wearing a sock, while providing solid support, decent grip, no so great in wet weather, okay on light trails. I've found this has really helped with technique and gait. It's also a cheap shoe. I used some Nike Free runners in the past, but their shelf life was never good for me. I can get PBs in these, and they seem almost as durable as the Pegs.
Race: Vaporfly. it really feels like your on a cloud with a spring. Given the cost, and the short shelf life I'm really hesitant to use it that much. Mostly in Park Runs, and final training runs.
Recovery: I've been using the Hoka Bondi, nice cushy support that Hokas are known for, I wish break in time was a little shorter, but after a few solid longer runs, they become really comfortable. I used to try a cushioned Nike, whatever the predecessor to the Invincible was, but I could never find them on sale.
Good afternoon Ben, I imagine you hadn’t tried the invincible runs prior to this video? I’d say they are the best daily shoe I’ve ran in. Love the Novablasts as well.. they’re the most durable pair I’ve owned in terms of mileage. 😊👍🏼
Everyday: UA HOVR Sonic 3, Hoka Clifton 7, Bondi 7
Race and Workouts: Nike Tempo Next%
Trail: Hoka Torrent 2, Nike Wildhorse 6
Can never have too many shoes! Definitely keen to try out the Carbon X or Rocket X, and maybe add them into the rotation for races and workouts!
i love your content!👌🏻
Currently using the Hoka Mach 4 for a daily trainer and a pair of Saucony Freedom 3 for quicker runs. Will replace the Freedom with another shoe soon and possibly another daily trainer. Racing shoe is the Hoka Carbon X
QoD: I am running 2.500 km a year and have a rotation of 4 + 1 shoes. To start, the "+1" is my trail shoe, Pegasus 36 Trail. As I don't do much trail, I don't really count them in my rotation.
Daily shoe: Nike Pegasus 37. Not my favorite, but ok.
Speed/tempo shoe: Saucony Endorphin Speed 2. Brand new, but Iove them already.
Recovery shoe: Nike ZoomX Invincible. Little bulky, but good for recovery and really slow long runs.
Racing & interval: Nike Vaporfly Next%. Yes, they are that fast. I actually have two pairs of them. And the first pair has 615 km of usage but are still absolutely ok for me, still very good.
In general, I use a shoe for ~800 km, before I replace them, meaning that a pair of shoes last for ~16 months, of course with a lot of variation. Finally, it's not more expensive to have several shoes to rotate, compared to 1 pair, except for the initial investment. The TCO / km will be the same (provided the have the same price and last the same no of km-s).
Very much agree with rotation. Using Nike Invincible, Nike Turbo2 (last pair unfortunatly), Asics Novablast, Nike React Miler (rearly in use), Nike Alphafly, Salomon SpeedCross. But I would add one more category - wet condition trainer (very wet feet are not for me) Nike Pegasus 37 Shield.
Love your videos Ben. My rotation at the mo is: Easy/Long Run Asics Novablast, Speed work Nike Zoom Fly SP, Tempo runs Nike Zoom Tempo, Race day Nike Zoom Fly 3, Asics Magic Speed, Nike Zoom Fly Flyknit. I'm interested to look into the Saucony Endorphin speeds.
Lmao why would you use the nike zoom fly 3 over the tempo next%
The asics novablast 1 and novablast 2 were the only shoes I used to train to break 3 hrs in the marathon. For race day I used the next % 2.
Ben this is really interesting and useful. Because of my circumstances my budget is very limited. I currently have a 2 shoe rotation: New Balance 1080 v10 for long runs and recovery runs and Altra Torin 5 zero drop shoes for my shorter runs and speed sessions. However I'm not fast so perhaps speed is not the right word... I do however high arches and wide feet so I love the 1080s. I'd be very interested in your thoughts on the Torin 5s with their clever "foot shaped" toe box, but that, in my opinion, awful tongue! Also what do you think of the whole zero drop debate?
Nike tempo next % is my race shoe at the moment. Brooks launch 8 is my easy shoe as like light and comfy. Puma Velocity Nitro is my recovery shoe, super comfy and soft. Odyssey react and pegasus 38 is my daily, but much prefer the Odyssey for sure....
Loving this! I don’t have as many as you (obviously!) but my rotation is a strict subset of yours. I had something in every category apart from Recovery (had to return the Nike Invincible as too damn hot in Singapore) and Track - waiting to bite the bullet on the Dragonfly in case I have a track meet which goes by official stack height rules! How much mileage do you think 1080s v10 should have? Strava just prompted me to upgrade but I guess v12 isn’t far away. Looking forward to the Revel v2 review. I love them but they’re so soft I worry they are giving me calf trouble. So I’m reluctant to get the RC Elite 2 for the same reason (although they looks so beautiful!). Thanks for all the content and hope you’re looking after yourself #gettingitdone 👍🏻🏃♂️🙏🏻🧡
Daily : maxroad 5
Tempo: speeds
Intervals or sprints: rebel v2
Thinking of adding a recovery or stability shoe.
Easy/recovery/everyday- Asics Novablast and Nike Pegasus 37
Tempo- Adidas Adizero Adios 6
Speed- Adidas SL20
Race- Saucony Endorphin Speed 2
Trail Short/Muddy- Salomon Alpha
Trail Long/Technical- Saucony Peregrine 11
I will be running my first Marathon next year so will be on the hunt for new Marathon racing shoes- either looking at the Saucony Endorphin Pro 2, the Asics Metaspeed or the Nike Next % 2. Not sure yet 🤔.
I think I've settled on this idea for a running shoe rotation. Three categories and two shoes in each category. Daily trainers, speed shoes and trail shoes. Got no need for a recovery shoe because I tend to just swim to recover, and not serious about running to have dedicated race shoes, I can just do races in one of the speed shoes.
Would make an ace kids TV presenter lol. Love listening to this guy.
3 x Invincibles,
1 x Adizero Pro 2 just up to 10k on local roads.
Another great video. I think I need to get some more hoka
I’m an over pronater but trying to move away from stability shoes. I still keep some in my rotation though.
Daily trainers: NB 1080 v 11, Hoka Arahi 5
Tempo/Threshold: Saucony Speed 1, Hoka Rincon 2 (too narrow), New Balance Prism version 1
Long Run: ASICS GlideRide 1 and 2. Love them both!
Recovery: New Balance Vongo 5 (for the stability. But they are too firm. Looking to maybe replace with NB More V3 because they seem stable enough)
Race: New Balance RC Elite are in the mail and set to arrive tomorrow! Hoping they’re stable enough for a full marathon
Trail: Hoka Challenger ATR 6 (too narrow, looking to replace)
Daily: Evoride 1, Cumulus 22, Puma Nitro Velocity Tracks: Atreyu V1 Parkruns: Peg 37 shield
Morning Ben, thanks for the video and I hope you're on the mend mate. What would you say is the most stable carbon plated shoe out there for heel strikers?
Ran new balance rc fuel cell at London marathon they were great got a pb, thanks for that review
Daily: Clifton 7
Track: Saucony type A9
Interval: Carbon X
Race: Vaporfly
I have wide feet so I really only use Topo and Altra. Currently I'm using Topo Ultrafly 3s for faster stuff, Topo Phantom 2s for long runs, and Altra Lone Peaks for trail.
I used to only wear Altra which have zero drop, but had a few issues with a tight achilles, so I found Topo which have a wide toebox and a small drop (3mm-5mm).
Combining these seems to have helped keep me injury free and finishing a marathon (finally! Always seemed to get injured during training).
New balance and nike have wide fee shoes? This to narrow?
I have 9 shoes on my rotation, 3 trail and 6 road. I record each shoe mileage on garmin connect so I like to have some newer ones on the go ready to replace those that will soon be recycled.
I only have all-arounders: brooks ghost 11 & 13, asics novablast 1, hoka mach 4, new balance 680v6, Saucony Clarion and most recently the Nike Invincible. I'm currently not doing speed work or long run, due to injury, but before I was using the Saucony for speed stuff.
I love this Ben......if you were brand loyal and the entire shoe rotation had to be one brand, would Nike just edge out Asics, then Saucony and Adidas following, POSSIBLY WITH PUMA a very, very rapidly improving 5th
Hopefully the high-end tech midsoles, become mainstream across all midrange shoes within 12-24 months, example Nike Peg 40, should be predominantly ZoomX and also flyknit or atomknit.
Long runs: Hoka Arahi 4
Workouts and short 5-10k races: Puma Liberate Nitro
Tempo/threshold runs and 21k races: Saucony Kinvara 11
Trail:
Short, muddy: Saucony Peregrine 10/Altra King MT 1.5
Longer runs (ultra): Topo Ultraventure/La Sportiva Akasha
Plus a few minimalist shoes:
Merrell Trail glove v1
Merrell Vapor glove v4
Vibram Fivefingers
Nike Free RN
I've also got a pair of Altra Escalante v2.5 but I don't use them for running because I bought the wrong size and they're too sloppy :D
Hoka Clifton 9 for daily. Got 3 pairs. Hoka Speedgoat 5 for trail, snow and muddy conidtions. Hoka Cielo X and Adidas Adizero Adios Pro 3 for race and speedier sessions.
Daily shoes: Asics Novablast; Speed shoes: endorphin pro and endorphin speed; recovery and long easy run shoes: Invincible and Infinity; Race day shoe: Alphafly and Vaporfly
Race/speed: Saucony Endorphin Speed 2
Daily: ASICS Nimbus 23
Easy/recovery: Brooks Glycerin 19
I honestly love every pair
Please could you do a 2023 refresh Ben? Love the vlogs!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Awesome thanks 👍
Mine is Asics Gel, Hoka one one, Adidas and 3 Nikes. My most fave is Asics and my Nike 😍
Hi Ben,
Thank you for the great info here.
Best shoe suggestions for me trying to have a sub 4 marathon on Oct 30th for the first time.
I have two pairs of ES 1 and a Zoomfly 3. I am thinking about Next %2 or ES2 or E Pro 2. I need some help to maintain my speed for the last 6 miles. I mostly tried Nike shoes and Saucony shoes only.
I'm rolling a few in the rotation at the moment. Brooks Ghost 14s as my sort of all rounder, Invincibles as my easy/recovery shoes, Tempo Next % I use as my speedier shoes but I also really like them on my long runs as I just recover so well from them. Have some Boston 10s as well but I really don't like them and will be donating them to charity as they don't work for me....
Sussing out some Saucony Speeds next I think or Novablasts 🤷🤔
DAILY: Saucony Ride 14's, especially for rainy days.
SPEED: Brooks Hyperion Tempo/Saucony Endorphin Speed (just retired the Sauc's)
LONG/EASY Day: Novablast 2/Saucony Endorphin Shift
W/O: Saucony Kinvara 12
TRAIL: Altra Lone Peak 5, Saucony Peregrine 11
Still on the hunt for the perfect trail shoe for me... I work at a running store so I feel like I've tried practically every shoe known to man at this point haha!
Reebok float ride 3 daily, Speed tempo/faster long run, Sketchers Max 5 recovery/long run, Endorphin Pro race and for trails Solomon Ultra Glides.
I have two "daily" pairs, one pair for long runs and a racing pair. I like Hoka One One and Nike. I need more cushioning for the long runs.
Rebook E3, Saucony speed, Hoka mach 4, adidas sl20. Winter and trail - Nike peg 37 shield, Hoka torrent 2, Salomon Ultra glide. Expensive to run in Sweden.
Daily: New Balance 1080v11
Tempo/Race: Saucony Endorphin Speed 2, just ran a HM PB 1:33 in these, super fast shoe 👍
All support shoes rather than neutral, shop put me in these from the start and I'm still in them.
Road: 2x brooks adrenaline 21s love them, nike structure 22, mizuno wave inspire 17, brooks reveanna11
Trail: saucony peregrine10.
Normally 4x for road, the reveanna is pretty shot
Thank you very much -
51 years old and new to running. I have a 3 shoe rotatioin
Daily - Xero HFS . To help with my running form
Longer runs - Brooks Ghost 14
Recovery - Nike Invincible
Speed -- I hope to get some soon. 1st I need to get some speed lol
All rounder ASICS Novablast, Saucony Speed 2, Nike Vaporfly to race, Saucony shift recovery
lol I got 35 shoes on my rotation. It was not planned. I just ended up buying a lot due to youtube reviewers like you lol
No regrets though. I love wearing different shoes every run
LOL. That's gotta be tough, man. It would require to run a lot in order to justify those purchases. When I pick up another shoe pair, I realise that I'm obliged to run hard in the foreseeable future.
Started building up my rotation as it helps extend the life in my Shoes. So far I have:
Reebok Floatride 3 - Easy Runs
Nike Pegesus 37 - Threshold Runs
New Balance 1080v10 - Easy Runs
Brooks Launch 8 - Workout
Nike Next % Tempo - Workout/Race
I just went out bought 3x lots of 'do it all' Reebok floatride 3. all for under £150. Still less than one pair of carbon plates. Wish I could afford them but hey if Steve jones can break records in normal shoes Ill be relatively fine hahaha
My shoe rotation
I’ve gone overkill… but I have next to no injuries so I attribute part of that to my 5 shoe rotation…
Daily shoe: Hoka Rincon 2
Speed shoe: Hoka Rocket X (set my 5K and 10K PR) and or Saucony Endorphin Speed 2
Race Shoe: Saucony Endorphin Pro or Hoka Rocket X
Recovery shoe: Hoka Clifton 8
Trail shoe: Hoka Torrent 2
Just bought some new running shoes (Asics GT 1000, old fav) and then I come home and my aunt gave me her lightly used running shoes! (Nike epic) so I guess I now I have a running shoe rotation!
Almost everyone here is a neutral runner 😂
Im an overpronator and this is my rotation:
Workhorse: Asics GT-2000 10 (just retired a Kayano 26)
Speed/Tempo: Asics Hyperspeed
Intervals/Race: Hoka Carbon X 2
Yeah I also ran in "stability" shoes for a long time like the ASICS gt-2000s. I've now been running in endorphin speed 2s for a while, smashing PBs all over, no injury issues. I'd say give it a go leaving stability shoes behind and see what happens
Marathon/Half - Brooks Hyperion elite 2
Tempo - Endorphin Speed
Long runs and recovery - Triumph 18 and NB More v3
easy - Hoka Rincon 2
race day - vapourfly 4%
sessions - Nike zoom streak lt 4
and a couple pairs of spikes of XC and track :)
Current 'rotation'. I have 5 pairs but use them on various types of runs depending on how my legs are feeling. Like for example I had a track session yesterday but calfs were sore so I used the Hoka Arahi 4 for a bit more stability. My speed suffered but I feel great today.
Easy/recovery: Hoka Arahi 4, Saucony Endorphin Shift
Intervals: Nike Pegasus 37, Saucony Endorphin Speed
Speedwork: Pegasus 37, Endorphin speed
Long Run: Endorphin shift and speed
Races: Endorphin speed
Trail: Hoka Torrent 2
Boston 8s almost all the time, except long races then it’s Boston 9s. I have a few Adidas Adios for shorter distances, but tend not to use them. Plus some Adidas Terrex for off road, including the goretex version.
Picked up 10 pairs recently in a sale, because I’m never going to the Boston 10.
Sorry, I’m not risking very different types of shoes, these work for me so that’s it. Not even an Adidas fan boy, just the fit is right for me
Daily: 1080v11, Tempo/Speed: Endorphin Speed, Trail: Salomon Ultra Glide, Recovery: Kayano Lite, Race: Next %
I have the ASICS Novablast 2, the SAUCONY Endorphin Speed, the ADIDAS Adios 5, the ADIDAS Takumi Sen 5 and and spikes for racing.
BTW its a myth that the midsole will last longer with rest between runs. Great video thank you, the more shoes the better 📹🌅👣

I got saucony endorphin speed 2 I love them
As a elite athlete ( road,track and cross country) shoe line up look like.
1. Saucony triumph 19 (easy day)
2. Endorphin speed 2( faster training)
3. Canyon trail 2 (trail shoe)
4. Endorphin pro 2 ( for half marathon)
5. A9( 5 and 10k road)
6 spikes ( 1 pair for track and 1 for cross country)
Love the Invincible for an easy/daily trainer, I wonder when they will bring out a new version as these are currently on offer. Love Alphafly for racing, Vaporfly 1 are SO much better than the 2, I’ve heard this a lot. Endorphin speed 2 I’ve not done loads in but will do, it’s a pretty good daily as it’s very versatile
Same here. Love the Invincible for daily/easy run, Endorphin Speed for tempo, the original Vaporfly Next% for the race day.
Invincible saved my joints and helps me keep running. ZoomX for the win!
