I got around 600 miles in my Hyperion Tempo's (on $ale) and I used them for my everyday running shoes since I couldn't exactly afford to get two or three different running shoes for my training. Overall, fantastic shoe.
Love the Hyperion. Light, fast, with outsole rubber. (Hoka says, Durability is over-rated and decreases repeat purchases.) Also has my favorite lacing system of any shoe I’ve ever had; so smooth.
I've got the Hyperion tempo. Lightweight, comfortable, super ventilated (which you really notice in the Norwegian winter) really nice to run in. I just prefer a lower drop. The Hyperion is one of the best looking shoes I have seen too. Only slight negative is the laces, they are just weird.
@@jacobraichel2476 I think the Saucony Endorphin Speed is a lot better, but I do like the Hyperion Elite and feel that if I worked better with an 8mm drop then I would have used them more. They are extremely light and feel very responsive when I run, they do feel a little unstable at slow speeds, very slow speeds. They are also showing no signs of usage despite about 200km in them on a mix of surfaces, I wouldn't be afraid to run light trails in them either. For the price I don't know vs the Hoka, vs the Saucony Speed I'd spend the extra on them vs the Hyperion.
Purchased a pair of brooks recently and have had no problems with the laces. It’s strange because many have complained about them...what do you find the issue is?
@@All3cannons I find they are a bit inconsistent when it comes to the lockdown in the shoe. I know I'm doing something wrong, but it seems the elastic takes up the strain and then releases in increments when running sometimes, leading to some easing of the lockdown. I just like laces to be fit and forget. Obviously I know you can change them, but the review was of the shoe as sold, and the last thing I want to do after buying shoes is change the laces :D
I love the Hyperion Tempo. I have run in them 1,005 km, and counting. I used them as a daily trainer, long runs, tempo and intervals runs and they are great. they are, indeed, the shoes o the year, to me. btw, I prefer them over the Hyperion Elite 2.
Seth, in March you should do a March madness shoe battle bracket and do a larger field of 16 or 32 shoes. We generally know your favorites but would be interesting to see you compare other shoes in a larger contest :)
i got an Hyperion Tempo and i have used it mainly for intervals and i love it. dont like it for long runs or races, i have used endorphin speed for that. but the Tempo are great for running fast and slowing down when i need a rest. i love the tempo.
I have been running in the Hyperion Tempo since October and have 140 miles in mine. Virtually no wear on the outsole yet. Love this shoe but haven’t really been able to take it over 10 miles on a run due to some PF issues. I have the Mach 4 on Pre-order and can’t wait to get them on the road!
@saddleback No, I’ve been battling PF for a year. The Hyperion Tempo causes flare ups on speed work or too many miles in the shoe! I just have to be careful in this shoe...but I love it! I usually do my aerobic runs up to 8 miles @ 6:55-7:10 pace in them
I bought the Hyperion Tempos at the end of 2020 and recently ran a 5K race in them. Conditions here in Salt Lake City were cold and there were some slick spots--but the shoes were impressively grippy, just as you suggest. As a result, I ran a pretty impressive (for me) 24:00 5K and took third in my old feller division. I love the shoes.
I bought the Hyperion Tempo only a month ago and it's proving to be my shoe of the year so far. I love it. It's so comfortable and feels good on the foot. The foam was a bit firm at first but it's feeling good after a few runs.
The Hyperion tempo is one of the shoes that I keep going back to. Nearly 400km in mine and still feel great, think they were quite underrated last year!
Hi Seth, Mach 4 pre orders went live in Europe today... Order put in at €140 (that’s $170!!) shipping from the 27th...Mine arriving with free delivery 3rd March (1st if you pay €9) looking forward but you threw in a curveball today!
You read my mind! Great comparison. This to me was the shoe that reminded me the most of the Mach 4. As a middle distance guy, I enjoyed both of these a great deal. I am still early in the Mach 4 so, I can't say for sure which I prefer overall just yet. I can say that I knew 30 mins in that the Hoka Mach 4 is special. Brooks Hyperion Tempo was my speed shoe of the year, and I still use it.
Just did an easy 14 mile run in the Mach 4 with a few faster miles built in. Before the run I was questioning if they would have enough protection/cushion and I was pleasantly surprised. Felt great!
I just need to be consistent and avoid injury. Currently having an Achilles tendinopathy flareup. I need to be better at stopping instantly when i get a niggle and not a week later...
Brooks Hyperion Tempo worked great for me. I used them to run a marathon PR. I ran a 2:56:20 at the Last Chance BQ.2 in Grand Rapids. I decided to check out the Hyperion tempo because of Seth. Thanks for the help, Seth!
Lol nice little one sir! I just bought the Hyperion after doing my due diligence it’s exactly what I expected...I’d say it’s in the elite level of running shoes and serves it purpose of giving you that promised and sought after speed ,and additionally is up to par in any other category! . . . “Making its strongest asset speed and covering our arses in all other categories”... This shoe lives up to expectations! ♥️ 🏃🏻
Never owned any HOKA, but I'm a recent convert to Brooks, with the Hyperion Tempo being my very first Brooks shoe...and I LOVE IT. So much so that I bought another pair, as is per my usual when I find something I really like. It's a really great formula that Brooks has with this shoe, and I sincerely hope they don't change much of the substance with this in the future. Small, incremental changes and keeping the weight about where it is would be ideal.
The H Tempo is a really versatile running shoes can do all up to 10K , feather light, superb fitting and very responsive midsole. Truly one of fav of 2020
I hope to add more vertical to my running this year since I am registered for the Five Peaks trail races seasons pass and hope to do a 50k Ultra in October.
New subscriber here and loving your content. I had a huge weight loss journey and found myself ending up LOVING to run. Never thought I would be here but man, I literally like.... Look forward to running every day and training for my first marathon. I was 426 at my biggest, and august 2019 was 310... in the nest year august to august, I lost 150 pounds and starting lifting weights which was fun but I felt it wasn't ... completing me? Started running seriously about a month ago now and LOVE IT. I love the content and have been learning more and more about what I need to grab to make my experience better because I learned that the shoes I have are... far from optimal. Appreciate the advice and tips you produce! Keep it up!
QD: As marathon is still quite out of the question for me in my part of the world, I would be dropping my running days from 5 days per week to 4. Firstly, at 45 y.o., I can feel the body taking longer to recover. Secondly, a reduced running load will allow me to build on speed so that when marathon season is finally back, I can resume my training load with hopefully a new pace. Suggestion for the next head-to-head, Mach 4 vs Rebel 2. The latter has been getting positive reviews online. Have a great day!
100% agree about the Hyperion! I think it was the most underrated shoe last year because of its price but it's SO SO good - it's super light, fast and fits like a glove. If the Mach 4 can beat it, it will make for another great option.
Seth, love my pair of Hyperion Tempos I got late last year (sidenote... I actually think they are a great treadmill shoe... gasp). I was contemplating getting the Mach 4, besides the price, you kinda convinced me the tempo may be more comparative if not better in certain areas than the Mach. Really great video, I did not expect the Hyperion Tempo to be so close with all the recent hype of the Mach. Thanks for the honest match up! QoD: Force myself to do drills, strides and hill sprints multiple times a week.
Salomon S lab Pulsar is pretty amazing! Just bought it and for a “trail” shoe, the weight is unbelievable. I can’t believe how soft but responsive the midsole is for a Salomon 🤯 It rides sooo smooth. I can’t wait for the trails to dry out for me to get it out there but feels great on pavement too
I need to improve strength training. I would like to increase training on hills and long climbs. I would love to have easier days on the off-road trails! I've been running for a few months now with the Hyperion Tempo. I use them for speed workouts. I find them fantastic. They give me some foot pain on distances over 15 miles.
I have Brooks Hyperion Tempo... love them... my go to tempo shoe for 10k to half distance... completed 479k in them... hardly any wear only on back outside heel... hope the HT2 will be as good
QD: consistency.....with rotator cuff surgery beginning in early 2019 and hip replacement surgery mid 2020.....I am looking to building back race shape with consistent smart training in 2021
I use the hyperion tempo for my track workouts. I found them very responsive and I love the feel of them! I'm actually more of a Hoka guy! I love the Clintons for milage and Rencon for tempos/speed days.
I had chose both of these and they only had brooks in my size and decided to try others and the brooks won by a lot ...They had the Saucony Endorphin Pro but accidentally skipped over it which might of been my choice ! I thoroughly enjoyed my ex sneaker 👟 the Saucony Kirvana 11 which I just retired after putting on 200+ miles last month on em and in the last weeks they became thin and I would feel any pebble that I came in contact with due to the wear and tear so super excited to put some real miles on my Hyperion Tempo’s !!!
I'm still running in my Hyperion tempos. They're the most un-brooks-like brooks ever. I love them! They need to get a handle on that pricing though. Expensive.
QD: I would like to change my winter training style (but that's kind of an every year problem because I don't really have the money to travel to altitude in the southeast or mountain west region) I spend many days working out on the treadmill or in college I spent many days running on a tight indoor 200 flat. Even though we did many workouts in lanes 3 and 4, it still felt too tight
I did purchase the Brooks Hyperion Tempo last fall I got it specifically for my track workouts (200, 400, 800 repeats) during cross country season and I still use it for the same thing in fact today I have a workout later today 6 by 800 and you can bet your bottom dollar I'll be using the Hyperion Tempo! Definitely a great purchase. Is it better than the Endorphin Speed? Maybe not, but still a great option.
I like the Brooks Hyperion Tempo, the midsole is just soft enough, but yet propulsive. But they seem to always cause a blister on the medial aspect of my right large toe.
It's a bit weird, but Seth, I remember you placing the Hyperion tempo in the 'Soft landing' category, and you still refer to its midsole as soft. I recently purchased the tempos. I've done only one run in them, took it to my tempo pace. It has a very , very firm landing! I bought the endorphin speed too, and yes it has a nice and soft midsole material, but not the tempos. I walk in them a bit too, they are firm! So I took to youtube and searched for more HP reviews and I found a few runners stating the same thing, that it has a firm landing. So firm that running at easy pace in them is very unpleasant. But I do love them! They are very very snappy at tempo pace and very responsive, alive. And so quick on cadence! woah! I have a 10k road hill race coming up in 2 weeks, and I cant decide if I want to use the tempos for the race or the endorphin speeds! I know I would enjoy running uphill fast in the tempos because they are lighter than the speeds. But I've heard the nylon plate in the speeds make them faster! In another tempo review I did hear that the tempos are weather sensitive, So MAYBE because bought them in just now, in February the midsole might have stiffened up and might get softer as teh weather warms up and I run a bit more in them. They might need a break in period? Anyhoo, I do love the Tempos!! Anybody who did read my loooooong comment, Will you please suggest which shoe out of the endorphins speeds and Hyperion Tempos I should use for my upcoming 10k Road Hill race!?? Anyone?? Thank you! :) and Thank you, Seth! Show less
Using the Hyperion Tempos for 1 Mile training. Definitely a fast and superlight shoe and a perfectly comfortable fit! Don't see myself using it for longer distances (anything over a half marathon). Would buy it again and recommend 10/10 although I find the Nike Vaporlfy 4%s even faster across all distances.
Hey Seth, fantastic compare! This is it what I was curious about. Brooks Hyperion Tempo are on the way, I've just recently bought and also waiting for Mach 4. Will buy as well. Looks Mach 4 is a great shoe, and "tweener" what's adding more value worth to add to my shoe rotation. QD: I need to find some a way how to slow down on my easy runs :) as I see I'm not only one with this "challenge" :) I really cannot run very slowly, it's harder for me to run 5:30 than 4:30 or at least below 5:00 :)
Hyperion Tempo has new colorways for spring 2021. So definitely the model is staying. Brooks typically hasn't been bringing out new models of their faster shoes very often. Hyperion Elite was an exception because the v1 was a flop. I think that the differences in list prices aren't very important when you talk about 20 or 30 bucks. It depends on how one feels in store. The customer will choose the shoe that he likes the most. It becomes a different ball game if one of the shoes is in sale. So then comparing a shoe that costs 99 to a shoe that costs 149 feels very different - especially when one thinks that the 99 shoe has a special deal. Then it requires much more convincing to go for that more expensive option but in general, if the shoe is better, i.e. the customer likes it more, then a little bit higher price is not an issue. QD: If I had a spare room, I would get a treadmill. Covid restrictions change all the time.
Seth, I need to plan my weeks for your virtual run. I saw in a strava comment mid april maybe.? We ordered our first misfits package today. Thank you, They need to have BoBo bars to buy as well. hahaha.
I definitely need to be better about doing the non-running things like plyometrics and dynamic stretching. I’ve gotten much better at my running consistency and for the most part also at foam rolling and using the massage gun but need to really focus on other important parts of my non-running routine.
I am running in the HyperionTempo as I’m listening to this vlog! It’s once of my favorite shoes ever. I prefer the more subtle heel flare of the Brooks. The exaggerated flare just adds extra weight and could actually hit the Achilles’ tendons on steep downhills. All one needs is 1/2”-1” max of flare. The Brooks is maybe 1/2”. Martha PS I also don’t get and don’t like the extended rear midsole on all these Hoka shoes. Again, extra weight, and why?
I tried to pick up the hyperion tempo when I saw a pair for 50$ off but it got lost in the mail 👎🏻 thankfully I got refunded and so I preordered the hoka mach 4 instead when I saw the price difference. the Hyperion tempos are 200$ in Canada and the mach 4's are 160$... so mach 4 it is. would still love to try out the hyperion tempo but we will see. QOD: more hill work. more stretching.
Good night friend. I'm curious, which sneaker do you think is better, the Brooks Hyperion Tempo, Asics Magic Speed or the Skechers Go Run Razor Excess???
i like my hyperion shoes, don't love them. I guess that the energy return should be a little better. My thing i would change about marathon training. I would like to include strides. I was told it is paramount to improve your training.
If it wasn’t for the Endorphin Speed I think the Hyperion Tempo would have been shoe of the year. I love it maybe even more than my speeds. (I typed this before you basically said the same thing). QD: wish I was more disciplined with my diet but I can’t be bothered to change it up that much
Hey Seth, I know u are busy with a lot of shoes to review and Vlogs to do but if you ever have time to check out the Nike Pegasus 37 Premium, it’s definitely worth a look. It’s pretty much a throwback to the old Pegasus and in my opinion has great lock down since it has a padded tongue. Butter that bread!
Hi Seth i've just found a super deal for the brooks Hyp tempo.. do you think i can use them for a marathon above the 3 hours? my weight is around 130 pounds
Its funny in denmark the prices are swapd betwen the thes to shoes, 1200 dkk for broks and 1400 dkk for the hoka mach 4. 196$ vs 228$ And yes the running sjoes here are to expensiv in Denmark 😅
I’m sure they’re constructed exactly the same. But I have the OG black colorway and it looks and feels high quality to me. It’s holding up beautifully. The tongue is thin to save weight, like the rest of the upper. But I find it extremely comfortable. Martha
How do these two shoes compare to the Atreyu shoes? I have seen somewhere a running shoe battle between the Hyperion Tempo and the Atreyu and they were considered close, curious about the Mach4 compared to the Atreyu
I have the Hyperion Tempo and its career is over. I probably have over 500 in it, and its probably the fastest I've ever gone through a pair of shoes. I used it as a daily trainer and it demolished track workouts. Before I knew it, I started getting ankle pain and it became less responsive. Other than that, I'd recommend the shoe other than the price tag
I don’t drive so I would wish for there to be some great trails close by and some ascent so I could experience a bit more higher altitude. If it was close enough to run or cycle to that would be perfect!
I haven't bought the Brooks Hyperion Tempo yet, but got myself the Brooks Catamount. If you had to decide, would you buy the hyperion tempo or the mach4 as your next tempo/threshold pace shoe
I got around 600 miles in my Hyperion Tempo's (on $ale) and I used them for my everyday running shoes since I couldn't exactly afford to get two or three different running shoes for my training. Overall, fantastic shoe.
I ran in the hyperion tempo when it was released and wow...I loved it!
Love the Hyperion. Light, fast, with outsole rubber. (Hoka says, Durability is over-rated and decreases repeat purchases.) Also has my favorite lacing system of any shoe I’ve ever had; so smooth.

Laces aren’t ever a deal breaker for me. So cheap and easy to replace. Love the Hyp Tempos!

Seth, in March you should do a March madness shoe battle bracket and do a larger field of 16 or 32 shoes. We generally know your favorites but would be interesting to see you compare other shoes in a larger contest :)
Just make one up yourself as it’d have just as much scientific input and probably be more accurate as it’s to your fit and running style not his.
@@rogerc23 but that’s not as much fun and interesting as listening to Seth’s input and insight. 🤷🏻♂️
i got an Hyperion Tempo and i have used it mainly for intervals and i love it. dont like it for long runs or races, i have used endorphin speed for that. but the Tempo are great for running fast and slowing down when i need a rest. i love the tempo.
I have been running in the Hyperion Tempo since October and have 140 miles in mine. Virtually no wear on the outsole yet. Love this shoe but haven’t really been able to take it over 10 miles on a run due to some PF issues.
I have the Mach 4 on Pre-order and can’t wait to get them on the road!

I did virtual 10k PR in my Hyperion Tempos. Great shoes.
@@levandmarthapolyakin-aaron2183 That's good to hear. I have a 10K race next week and was trying to decide if they'd be good for that as well.
QD: If I could change one thing it would be running slower on easy days and getting injured less.
I also need to focus on doing that
"Easy days EASY hard days HARD"
The best way to do that is to run slower on easy days. I think you can do it!
I ran a full marathon in the Hyperion Tempo and it felt great for the first 30k after which it gradually lost its cushioning.
QD: Switch from 7-day training cycles to 9 days so that I can eke out a bit more recovery between workouts...and hopefully avoid injury.
I bought the Hyperion Tempo only a month ago and it's proving to be my shoe of the year so far. I love it. It's so comfortable and feels good on the foot. The foam was a bit firm at first but it's feeling good after a few runs.
3 years later and I just ordered a pair of Hyperion Tempos for under $70. Excited to put some fast miles into em
The Hyperion tempo is one of the shoes that I keep going back to. Nearly 400km in mine and still feel great, think they were quite underrated last year!
Hi Seth, Mach 4 pre orders went live in Europe today... Order put in at €140 (that’s $170!!) shipping from the 27th...Mine arriving with free delivery 3rd March (1st if you pay €9) looking forward but you threw in a curveball today!

Beyond Dafeet will be putting one out very soon.
I like your show dude....you inspired me to buy some Saucony Triumph 18, in the post to me now to usurp my Ultraboost '20.
I'm still running in my Hyperion tempos. They're the most un-brooks-like brooks ever. I love them! They need to get a handle on that pricing though. Expensive.

I did purchase the Brooks Hyperion Tempo last fall I got it specifically for my track workouts (200, 400, 800 repeats) during cross country season and I still use it for the same thing in fact today I have a workout later today 6 by 800 and you can bet your bottom dollar I'll be using the Hyperion Tempo! Definitely a great purchase. Is it better than the Endorphin Speed? Maybe not, but still a great option.
QD: Adding more speed/threshold workouts. Onward and upward!
I like the Brooks Hyperion Tempo, the midsole is just soft enough, but yet propulsive. But they seem to always cause a blister on the medial aspect of my right large toe.
Got the Hyperion Tempo on sale at Xmas. I've even been using the Hyperion Tempo for easy days.
It's a bit weird, but Seth, I remember you placing the Hyperion tempo in the 'Soft landing' category, and you still refer to its midsole as soft. I recently purchased the tempos. I've done only one run in them, took it to my tempo pace. It has a very , very firm landing! I bought the endorphin speed too, and yes it has a nice and soft midsole material, but not the tempos. I walk in them a bit too, they are firm!
So I took to youtube and searched for more HP reviews and I found a few runners stating the same thing, that it has a firm landing. So firm that running at easy pace in them is very unpleasant. But I do love them! They are very very snappy at tempo pace and very responsive, alive. And so quick on cadence! woah!
I have a 10k road hill race coming up in 2 weeks, and I cant decide if I want to use the tempos for the race or the endorphin speeds! I know I would enjoy running uphill fast in the tempos because they are lighter than the speeds. But I've heard the nylon plate in the speeds make them faster!
In another tempo review I did hear that the tempos are weather sensitive, So MAYBE because bought them in just now, in February the midsole might have stiffened up and might get softer as teh weather warms up and I run a bit more in them. They might need a break in period?
Anyhoo, I do love the Tempos!! Anybody who did read my loooooong comment, Will you please suggest which shoe out of the endorphins speeds and Hyperion Tempos I should use for my upcoming 10k Road Hill race!?? Anyone?? Thank you! :) and Thank you, Seth!

Using the Hyperion Tempos for 1 Mile training. Definitely a fast and superlight shoe and a perfectly comfortable fit! Don't see myself using it for longer distances (anything over a half marathon). Would buy it again and recommend 10/10 although I find the Nike Vaporlfy 4%s even faster across all distances.
Seth, Puma Nitro lineup will kick butt on both of the shoes you are reviewing.
Hey Seth, fantastic compare! This is it what I was curious about. Brooks Hyperion Tempo are on the way, I've just recently bought and also waiting for Mach 4. Will buy as well. Looks Mach 4 is a great shoe, and "tweener" what's adding more value worth to add to my shoe rotation.
QD: I need to find some a way how to slow down on my easy runs :) as I see I'm not only one with this "challenge" :) I really cannot run very slowly, it's harder for me to run 5:30 than 4:30 or at least below 5:00 :)
I’m still running in a 2019 tweener the peg turbo 2
One of my all time favorites!
Just retired mine. One of my favorites!
Hyperion Tempo has new colorways for spring 2021. So definitely the model is staying. Brooks typically hasn't been bringing out new models of their faster shoes very often. Hyperion Elite was an exception because the v1 was a flop. I think that the differences in list prices aren't very important when you talk about 20 or 30 bucks. It depends on how one feels in store. The customer will choose the shoe that he likes the most. It becomes a different ball game if one of the shoes is in sale. So then comparing a shoe that costs 99 to a shoe that costs 149 feels very different - especially when one thinks that the 99 shoe has a special deal. Then it requires much more convincing to go for that more expensive option but in general, if the shoe is better, i.e. the customer likes it more, then a little bit higher price is not an issue.
QD: If I had a spare room, I would get a treadmill. Covid restrictions change all the time.
Ive ran over 1000 miles on the hyperions!
I wish I had a few more options for my routes in the am.
Happy to have my power back after 8 days though. Have a great day everyone!
Seth, I need to plan my weeks for your virtual run. I saw in a strava comment mid april maybe.? We ordered our first misfits package today. Thank you, They need to have BoBo bars to buy as well. hahaha.
I definitely need to be better about doing the non-running things like plyometrics and dynamic stretching. I’ve gotten much better at my running consistency and for the most part also at foam rolling and using the massage gun but need to really focus on other important parts of my non-running routine.
I am running in the HyperionTempo as I’m listening to this vlog! It’s once of my favorite shoes ever. I prefer the more subtle heel flare of the Brooks. The exaggerated flare just adds extra weight and could actually hit the Achilles’ tendons on steep downhills. All one needs is 1/2”-1” max of flare. The Brooks is maybe 1/2”. Martha PS I also don’t get and don’t like the extended rear midsole on all these Hoka shoes. Again, extra weight, and why?
I tried to pick up the hyperion tempo when I saw a pair for 50$ off but it got lost in the mail 👎🏻 thankfully I got refunded and so I preordered the hoka mach 4 instead when I saw the price difference. the Hyperion tempos are 200$ in Canada and the mach 4's are 160$... so mach 4 it is. would still love to try out the hyperion tempo but we will see.
QOD: more hill work. more stretching.
Good Morning!
Hey Seth. Did you ever review the brooks aurora shoe? I came across the shoe and found a few reviews on it. But none at your in-depth
* Mach 4 still not available for pre-order in Euro-land but the Mach 3 now seems to have disappeared off the Hoka site so fingers crossed! 🤞
If I could consistently run every day that would be a game changer.
I had some tendonitis in the hyperion tempo, it has this little overlay that pinched my foot just the wrong way. High arch people be warned.
I have a high arch. What are some of your go to shoes?
Good night friend. I'm curious, which sneaker do you think is better, the Brooks Hyperion Tempo, Asics Magic Speed or the Skechers Go Run Razor Excess???
i like my hyperion shoes, don't love them. I guess that the energy return should be a little better. My thing i would change about marathon training. I would like to include strides. I was told it is paramount to improve your training.
QD: Running in different places (not 'my' routes) but like totally different areas (cities, etc)
I need to start cycling in different places. I’ve been doing the same few loops for a while and it’s not very inspiring
If it wasn’t for the Endorphin Speed I think the Hyperion Tempo would have been shoe of the year. I love it maybe even more than my speeds. (I typed this before you basically said the same thing).
QD: wish I was more disciplined with my diet but I can’t be bothered to change it up that much
Hey Seth, I know u are busy with a lot of shoes to review and Vlogs to do but if you ever have time to check out the Nike Pegasus 37 Premium, it’s definitely worth a look. It’s pretty much a throwback to the old Pegasus and in my opinion has great lock down since it has a padded tongue. Butter that bread!
QD: I would do longer rungs / more long runs. I run too much in my comfort zone of runs between 5-10 km in length.
Is the Hyperion Tempo like the New Balance Beacon v 2 that I did not like due to underfoot cushion and no stability at all?
I really like the Monday videos
Just preordered the mach 4
Hi Seth i've just found a super deal for the brooks Hyp tempo.. do you think i can use them for a marathon above the 3 hours? my weight is around 130 pounds
Its funny in denmark the prices are swapd betwen the thes to shoes, 1200 dkk for broks and 1400 dkk for the hoka mach 4.
196$ vs 228$
And yes the running sjoes here are to expensiv in Denmark 😅
Seth, what would be your pick over the Mach4 for that middle-long run distance training? Thanks
i will progress to obtain the 180 spm (cadence ) this year . Work work work
I have a white pair of the Hyperion Tempo and I found the tongue to be a little cheap. How about the black version?
I’m sure they’re constructed exactly the same. But I have the OG black colorway and it looks and feels high quality to me. It’s holding up beautifully. The tongue is thin to save weight, like the rest of the upper. But I find it extremely comfortable. Martha
Anyone know how the Mach 4 fits? TTS or 1/2 up or down? First time trying the Hokas and need to know what size to preorder. Many thanks
love the tempo, brooks best shoe of 2020 in my opinion...in fact best for some years
QD: Adding in yoga to help prevent injury and having rest days.
QD: not get injured and get faster. Also be able to to do a speed workout + long run speed workout instead of just long run speed workout
For a running shoe battle do the Nike invincible vs the react infinity
Who’s not surprised Seth picked the new shoe.
QD: Consistently do Double Run days to bring up weekly mileage...(actually started this week)
Hyperion Tempo or Glycerin 19 if both were the same price?
How do these two shoes compare to the Atreyu shoes? I have seen somewhere a running shoe battle between the Hyperion Tempo and the Atreyu and they were considered close, curious about the Mach4 compared to the Atreyu
Do you think the Mach 4 would hold up well on dirt and/or finely crushed stone buffed trails (I know its more of a road shoe)???
I have the Hyperion Tempo and its career is over. I probably have over 500 in it, and its probably the fastest I've ever gone through a pair of shoes. I used it as a daily trainer and it demolished track workouts. Before I knew it, I started getting ankle pain and it became less responsive. Other than that, I'd recommend the shoe other than the price tag
I would like to see a shoes battle between Adidas Adios Pro and Nike Vaporfly Next %
I don’t drive so I would wish for there to be some great trails close by and some ascent so I could experience a bit more higher altitude. If it was close enough to run or cycle to that would be perfect!
You could uber.
@@djp3525 Oh true, may start costing me a lot though...
I haven't bought the Brooks Hyperion Tempo yet, but got myself the Brooks Catamount. If you had to decide, would you buy the hyperion tempo or the mach4 as your next tempo/threshold pace shoe
