I personally like the long-form format. Here's why - substance. There's only so much you can learn from headlines and 10 minute videos. Your comparisons and long runs do several things for us viewers: 1) proves to us you put the shoes through the paces & 2) gives us a sense of what the experience might be like. Unfortunately, our world has become too obsessed with the short-form headline but it misses so much substance. Or to put it in the words of the late Steve Jobs - you can look at a picture of banana, paint it from different angles, and analyze it all you want. But it won't be as rich as knowing the banana by touching it, smelling it, eating it, etc. You're getting as close to allowing us to do that vicariously through you. So keep at it bro!
Great video as always. I’ve come to really enjoy your longer length videos. Often times, I watch while I get ready for my morning run, then listen driving to work where I finished it. It’s a refreshing take in a crowded market. I especially enjoy it when you take the GoPro on the run and chat and add your own personality. You are allowing us to know Yowana the person, not just Yowana the ShoeTuber/UA-camr. Keep being you and remember to Up Your Best.
"My videos are longer than your runs" 😂 The humor is top notch and makes the video podcast format all the more entertaining! Keep doing you Yowana! Love the Q&A btw, what an innovative and fun way to change things up!
I like Bill Simmons… and hey.. I like the format, I have said before I treat your videos like podcast, I let it play as I fold clothes, or load the dishwasher. And hey, if you go the Ben Parkes route, and purchase your own shoes.., that’s cool.., if you accept complimentary shoes.., that’s cool too.., you have built up the trust with you audience. keep up the great work
You’re getting a ton of traction around the net. All you need is another year and you’ll probably blow up to 100k subs and get all the early releases As a suggestion, it wouldn’t hurt to keep both the long format then post edited portions that focus more on the shoes themselves, maybe portions of the review.. That would help capture both markets. Lots of big podcasts post ‘clips’ like this that are around 7 minutes in length. The people who run as much as you likely don’t have the time to additionally spend an hour daily. Additionally, you could pick titles that can engender better engagement (hate to say clickbait, but aspects that draw attention or that folks would search for).
I did not expect a Bill Clinton reference from you youngin. 👏🏻 Edit after watching the rest of it: I'm a fan of what you got going on, and this might be my favorite piece of content you've created.
Hey Yowana, have you ever considered uploading just the audio from the videos and posting them to podcast platforms like Spotify etc? Saying this having no clue if that's an easy task or not so maybe it's not worth the hassle but could open you up to a wider audience as podcasts seem to be the new big thing
Your podcasting method makes you unique. No one else like it right now. Keep it up man! BTW, where do you see the Ghost Max already being discounted? I still see it at $150 at various websites.
@@supwell probably not- looks like a minimal update. V1 was not supwell certified. Funds are tight - have to go toward maybe sc trainer v3 or sc pacer, possibly adios pro 4.
I haven’t run in the Superblast either. After they were out of stock when I tried to get them, I switched gears and bought the Arreyu Race Model which is a great shoe for only $120 at full retail price.
Keep grinding. You'll be getting all the shoes for free, first. You have the best shoe related videos, period. This channel will blow up, just a matter of time. I cannot even watch some of the big shoe review channels as I know these lazy clowns don't even run in these shoes. They just throw them in the yard for their dogs to dirty them up.
bro, nobody comes to the chanel for speed dating running shoes they come for sphincter clenching commentary. i bought a couple pair of vuori shorts on your code. your kids are beautiful. leave the running shoes, take the cannolis
Not currently. I used to be consistent with the gym until mileage got 60+ miles per week. I'd like to get back to it at some point but time and priorities are the biggest blockers for that right now
I’m enjoying the long video format. Nobody is obliged to finish it in one go and I often pause it and listen again whenever I’m free. Despite watching your vids almost daily, I now can muster self control and not buy shoes on a weekly basis. 😂 I made a rule to keep a rotation and use them for at least 300-350 kms before ever considering another pair. Any “daily training” type shoes IMO are good walking shoes. Tempo and race day shoes I think are meant to be used on faster days. I wobble when I walk in Tyr Valkyrie speedworks but it gets stable the moment I start running even at my easy run pace.
Running while giving us this much entertainment and information. Honestly best running content creator for me at least. Well, with the exception of using terms like miles ounces etc.. thanks for the content tho! Im binging your content while doing my own runs. Love ya
Thanks for the answer brother and ill definitely be looking into the craft pacer havent heard of them before so thanks and keep the long format i enjoy it its like ur videos are a stream of consciousness which is actually quite refreshing for my adhd
What’s better? SL2, Novablast 4, Rebel 4, Mach 6, or more mundane Ride/Cumulus? I’m getting back into running after three years. Currently 20lbs overweight at 195, fave shoe ever was Pegasus 35 Turbo. Or given my weight, Nimbus 25 for $120? Advice?
17:26 I’m italian and I don’t even get upset at the Italian impersonation 😂 I just laugh hysterically in my apt by myself. You wylin bro. Glad to hear you’re getting the brooks HM2. I’m loving mine so far. Sorry I been less consistent in the comments and views. Clinical rotations are nuts rn. Always appreciate the content bro, keep growing.
I enjoy your authentic approach to reviewing shoes. I like when you get really hyped about a shoe, you usually have a few follow up videos because you are still excited about the shoe (I.e. the SL2s). Your videos usually have more honesty compared to other channels, if I wanted the quick formulaic sugar hit then I can watch them.
I look forward to seeing your review on Superblast 2... I have 300+ miles on my Superblast OG and they still work great for my Sunday long runs of 10-16 miles. The foam has softened up a bit after 100 miles. I plan on taking this beyond 500 miles before considering SB 2
Hey man, do you think for me who just started running again and want to participate in a 10k run and even more, should i take the puma Deviate nitro 2 which has dropped in price or the Asics Novablast 4? Or do you have any other suggestions for me, just from Puma, Asics, Saucony, and Hoka brands
If you have the time to continue the podcast format, I would love that. However I would watch your content no matter the format. P.s. do you still run in the TYR?
Thank you! And I haven't run in either of the TYR shoes in a while - they are due for more time on feey soon. Which one do you want to see some more miles in?
@@supwell that’s very kind of you. If they happen to fit in with your training I would suggest the Speedworks. Hasn’t had much coverage online but curious your thoughts…….you’ve run in a lot of new trainers since your last video on it.
Yeah I have the Speed 3 - great shoe! Boston 12 is a lot roomier in the toebox and maybe a touch longer. I have them in the same size. A lot of people go down half a size in the Boston 12 and true to size in the speed 3
I like Yowana for the long form, super in-depth reviews. I also follow EddBud for the quick and dirty 15 minute vids. Yowana and EddBud similar in honest, straightforward approach.
Keep the podcast format. It so refreshing to the overly sleak YT format.
Yes, exactly! 💯
Ya feels more like old school UA-cam before every video was carefully designed to get attention from the algorithm
@@LePrimo420 So tired of seeing cookie cutter 10min long review videos
I’m a fan of the video podcast format. It’s become part of my daily routine. Also appreciate reviews with more than 18 miles put in 😂

Video length is perfect, I've basically regressed to watching them before work like I used to watch cartoons before school.

I enjoy the longer vlogs. Gives us insight into training, life, etc. - makes work go by
best rant ever LOLOL. I think i should start listening to these "podcasts" on my runs LOL.
I would love to for easy long run days
@@LHNguyens Im caught between the Boston 12 and SL2.
Still waiting for the superblast 2 and the comparison with Adidas sl2. The 2 most hype performance shoe this year.🎉
I did not expect a Bill Clinton reference from you youngin. 👏🏻
Edit after watching the rest of it:
I'm a fan of what you got going on, and this might be my favorite piece of content you've created.
Thanks man 🙌🏽 I really appreciate it
Keep the long format please… Like you said, others are doing the quick and dirty 15 min reviews.

Dick’s Sporting Goods has them on sale for around $100 in most color ways.
I am the last runner alive who hasn’t run in the Superblast.
Wowwww that is crazy. I need to know where you fall on this - are you getting the 2?
@@supwell probably not- looks like a minimal update. V1 was not supwell certified. Funds are tight - have to go toward maybe sc trainer v3 or sc pacer, possibly adios pro 4.
@midliferunner. I must be the second to last person alive to not run in them then
I haven’t run in the Superblast either. After they were out of stock when I tried to get them, I switched gears and bought the Arreyu Race Model which is a great shoe for only $120 at full retail price.

thank you so much on all fronts 🙌🏽🙏🏽 I appreciate the kind words and support
Thanks for the video! Do you do any strengthening workouts to supplement your running? Stretch routine?
Not currently. I used to be consistent with the gym until mileage got 60+ miles per week. I'd like to get back to it at some point but time and priorities are the biggest blockers for that right now
Restock the hobby jogger hat! Thanks for using my comment in the vid. I fell seen as the kids say.

Hahaha I appreciate you man. And keep grinding on those clinical rotations 😤
Really appreciate what you do, best shoe reviewer on UA-cam by a long shot.
the blue Hyperion Max 2 looks dope, but I think that’s not releasing till later .
i love the long format i love the long videos everything is amazing but please no more italian guy accent please
Wow that route looks awesome wish I had long hills like that
Your format is fine and unique. They have an authentic quality.
Your Hyperion Max 16 mile video popped up in my feed yesterday and it was 6 minutes 😂

Past 12 months all daily trainers and racing shoe purchases based on your UA-cam review and advice.
Just wondering if you have a pair of endorphin speed 3s and how the size compares to the Boston 12s (trying to purchase a pair online)
Yeah I have the Speed 3 - great shoe! Boston 12 is a lot roomier in the toebox and maybe a touch longer. I have them in the same size. A lot of people go down half a size in the Boston 12 and true to size in the speed 3
Thank you so much! Can’t wait to try them out!
👍🏻
I actually viewed some of your older YT videos that are short and I much prefer your long videos
Very informative answers. Q&A videos are great every once in awhile. Thanks!
These long videos make us bros. We bros now. Just a couple sickos.
You should make a short of sending them to the poconos.. and post that for those that complain about length
My wife and I both got these because of you. Love them
My videos are longer than your runs 😂 so true one day I will get there lol
I think the long form is cool - but not for every video. Some videos will be way better more concise and to the point. Mix it up.
I like Yowana for the long form, super in-depth reviews.
I also follow EddBud for the quick and dirty 15 minute vids.
Yowana and EddBud similar in honest, straightforward approach.
Bill Simmons needs to go to the poconos….
Feetures! Ok, thanks for the tip!
9:25 learnt new word everyday
Love that new yak accent. 😂
🤌🏼🤌🏼 Im with your daughter here 48:22 😂
😩😩😩
2nd love the vids btw
Fired up!
Why do you make so many SL2 videos?
Are you being sponsored??
For the 100 mile review
Because the shoe is sick. He is doing the comparisons for us who dont have a million shoes to test.
Lol I’ll tell you why… It looks awesome!
According to science, the looks of a shoe are just important as the cushion or ride or weight.😂
@@ZaahirJappieLol totally agree. SL2 is a gem - comparatively inexpensive, looks great, performs great, materials from much more expensive shoes.
Can you walk with the superblast as daily shoes?
