As someone just beginning to reintroduce a rotation to my shoe line in prep for marathons and races, I'm really enjoying the Saucony Speed. I'm not experienced enough yet to fork out for a Carbon Plated shoe, but I think this will work as a trainer/racer combo. Some people have told me plated shoes are also good trainers because they encourage better form. I do most of my daily runs in a Pegasus, which has always been a reliable shoe for me. If conditions are super wet on race day, I can always just do the run in it, I'll lose some time, but I've never had comfort issues with it, and as of now, most of my PBs were set in Pegs. Just getting into being a little more goal oriented in my running workouts, I find the sheer selection can be pretty dizzying, but Nike Pegs have been good to me, and the Saucony line, in general seems to have a lot of solid shoes for different purposes. At the moment I'm not going to bother with the really expensive Carbon shoes like the Vapour Fly. My plan through winter spring is to use Pegs as Daily Runners, and once it gets closer to spring, Saucony's minimalist Kinvera as a training tempo runner, and the Speed as my race shoe, occasional trainer. Are the Speeds completely useless even on dirt/gravel? Some of my country routes involve occasional forays onto such surfaces, not for too often or too long, but it gets you away from the traffic. Have you ever run in the Saucony Kinveras?

I bought Zoom Fly 5 few weeks ago and I am positively surprised. These are the first Nike shoes that I really like and feel comfortable using them. The weight isn't that bad. It is the same weight as Asics Nimbus 24 of the same size. Glideride 4 are few grams lighter, but still I run faster in Zoom Fly 5. If you don't run the race below 4:00 per km, you won't feel that they're too heavy.

this is so true i am in middle school doing xc with my Zoom fly 5's with 5 min per km for 10k and it has been great. The grip is not terrible and i do not notice the weight at all. If i were running on roads i would choose the streakflys

Picked the Noosa Tri 14 as my speed day shoe for this year but recently took advantage of the season sales to also buy the Takumi Sen 8 and Deviate 2 precisely due to concerns over grip. I do a number of small, local, olympic triathlons every year and more often than not the running portion goes through some gravel path/fire road/sand and so I will be using whichever of those two turns out to be grippier.

Interesting. So far in my research the Deviate Nitro has edged out the Speed 3. The feedback seems to be that the Speed 3 is pretty meh compared to the Speed 1, and the Deviate Nitro is filling in the gap that the Speed 1 left. So a bit surprising to see Ben going with the Speed 3 here, but it goes to show that different shoes work for different feet.

Just coming back from injury so havn't used the Endorphins for a while. Went for a short run in the Puma's yesterday and really enjoyed them very comfortable if slightly on the heavy side. The Endorphins definitely feel much lighter on foot and have a more of a shoe that's suitable for racing. The Endorphins are still my favourite shoe of all time so much so that i bought 3 pairs of version one. I shall be using the Puma's for shorter runs.

For hill sprints and speed work, I would imagine you want a lightweight / fast show - you really can't go wrong with the Endorphin Speed 3 - you can grab them for about £120 online if you shop around.

Fastest ? Nike Tempo Next ! I have the Speed 2 and Zoom Fly 3. ZF3 was my favorite shoe before other plated shoes were released. I think they are great for slower runs, they are quite comfy and have a good amount of cushioning. But I usually like to run faster so I now prefer Tempo Next and Speed 2. Speed 2 feels more natural but also offer less cushioning so #1 is Tempo Next for me .. at least for now. Also Tempo Next is relatively similar to Alphafly so it seems logical to train in a similar shoe as the one I will be racing with. The main negatives about Tempo Next is that they are not so great a slower pace imho and with all the cushioning and technologies, I'm not sure they are the best to help maintain a good overall fitness.

I feel that the Deviate Nitro 2 might fit those with slightly narrow or average width feet better than the Speed 3, if anyone is after the fit like a glove feeling but decided that stuff like the Takumi Sen 8 is overkill/minimalistic. The Puma grip is also phenomenal on wet tiles. I just got the DN2 at a pretty good price though and generally from what i see it'd run noticeably cheaper than the Speed 3 in most countries/websites, just usd 99 on 365rider and UPS Express costed only like usd 10 to my country (actually i shared shipping with another shoe so that's only usd 5 in reality). PS. Colourway and overall design is the best out there of any shoe, IMO.....so that's another +ve point. Sometimes i use it as a sneaker during shopping lol.
