Hi Seth! Yesterday Brazilian marathoner Daniel do Nascimento ran the Seoul Marathon in 2:04:51, establishing a new South American record and a new record of the Americas (outperforming Ryan Hall’s 02:04:58 in Boston), which also makes him the fastest man in the marathon born outside of Africa. Brazil has a long tradition in long distance running, but we hadn’t had such an impressive time since Ronaldo da Costa won the Berlin Marathon in 1998 with 02:06:05 and broke the World Record. Daniel was only a few months old when that happened! Today we Brazilians all across the globe will be running together with little Daniel, as we call him. Cheers from South America!

Runners who *need* Altra’s traditional last might call these too narrow, but Rivera 2 is still wider than other brands. Another shoe that I have that fit most similarly to Rivera 2 was the 1st gen Evoride. I felt that the midsole is pretty soft - similar to Torin but less of it. Because of the narrower fit and slightly lower stack height, I think the simplest pitch for Rivera 2 is a more “dialed-in” and responsive daily trainer compared to Torin. I still turn to Endo Speed for racing, but wear Altra’s during training to focus on form.

Nice review, but I do have one gripe. You are basically saying that comfort = stack height. In other words, a shoe derives its comfort from a deep and soft midsole. I really do disagree there. Some of my most comfortable shoes have been rather minimalist shoes with relatively little underfoot.

"The upper. You nailed it. It's perfect. It's amazing.The best of 2022." I'll give it a 9 out 10. Huh! Then why not a 10/10! If 10 is the highest score and you never give anything a 10 then 9 should be the highest. But to me perfect means 10. You know like Bo Derek. Its subjective so don't worry about being too biased. No gusseted tongue. So! Instead it has a loop in the tongue where you tread the laces thru to keep the tongue in place. Gusseted tongues are not always gold. Yes maybe for trail shoes since they keep the debris out. But they make the shoe heavier. Warmer as far as breathability. And their harder to get on and off. Also some feel to tight and even adjusting the laces doesn't help. What I'm saying are gusseted tongues are not always a panacea.

I like my gen 1 Riveras. They are nice. For those switching over from other brands like brooks don’t assume that just cause these are on the slim frame that they’ll feel tight. They’re slim for an Altra but wider than something like a Hoka. My gripe with the Riveras is a lack of support. They are slipper like but if I lace them up tight they are fine. I’m hoping the Rivera 2s have a little more heel support. I’ve worn the Torins too which I like and the escalante racers. The racers are nice but a bit too wide in the toes (though perfect in the heel and mid). I’ll looking to try the Rivera 2s soon.

Seth love your videos, they have been SUPER helpful! I'm a heavier athlete who loves running (when I'm in running shape). I just got rid of my Riveras. I ran about 150 miles in them. Developed a hole on the inside of the sole to upper area and the tread were falling off. As a mid striker the feel was great but you are 100% correct about ankle foot strength. These shoes will point out any nagging tendon or ankle issues quickly. I ultimately went back to a Hoka Clifton 8. Happy Easter to you all.

@ckokomo808 2 жыл бұрын

I’ve run in the Hoka Challenger and Torrent, and the Altra Lone Peak and Timp. The challenger is a “trail to road, vice-versa”. The torrent is a bit more trail oriented but fairly inexpensive and a great overall shoe. The lone peak is more similar to the Torrent with a little less lug depth, meaning you won’t feel them as much on the road and also an excellent multi-use outdoor shoe in general. The Timp is probably my least recommended, but a great trail oriented shoe. The Nike Wildhorse is a comfortable shoe with shorter lugs and was fairly quick and responsive. And I’ve tried (but not trained in) the Inov8 Parkclaw which were springy and had a nice breathable upper. Hope this helps!

I wanted something that was more closely related to a traditional racing flat but with a touch and I mean a touch more cushion. The Streakfly hit the sweet spot. That shoe really impressed me yesterday. So nimble and light at 7.1 ounces in a size 12. The fit is as if the shoe is velcroed to my foot. Needless to say I will be using the Streakflys for 5k races and the carbon plated shoes for the longer miles.

I would love to agree with you but I finally relented & bought a HR strap 18 months ago because of the issues I've had over a long period with wrist HR monitoring, though I haven't tried the Coros watches. I am currently using a Suunto 9 and have also used Garmin for many years too & in my experience the HR strap, though not perfect, is immeasurably better that the wrist monitoring. I believe this is because the wrist contains so many bones, tendons & ligaments the laser that picks up your HR can be deflected or absorbed. It is also why results with wrist HR monitoring can vary so much as our individual wrist structure is unique to us.

They still offer the same as they always did, you just have to look at which last they used for which model.
