I found a pair of the previous versions of the Saucony Ride at a ridiculous price on a second hand website and took the pwerrun insole and put it on the Speed 3. Talk about versatility there. Now I have a truly plush shoe that I can also push to 4:00/km easy-peasy

Still loving my Asics Glideride 3. 800km and still have a step-in like a slipper and great heel to toe action. Been rationing their use, waiting for a decent replacement. Best i got was Mach X on rotation. Similar heel to toe but slightly different compression profile with the foam. Not many daily rockered trainers at this price point.

Massive fan of the Puma Vel. Nitro 2. You might get them at arond 65€ from time to time. I reckon the 3 will drop in price soon. Also got a pair of Novablast 4. Very comfortable though not as soft as the Cumulus for example, but you can cruise for hours at easy pace, as well as picking up the pace for some Strides within your run, without feeling sluggish.

I've always been an Asics wearer, BUT, I think New Balance and Saucony are killing it with the design of theirs and have better colourways in my opinion.

Great video as always 💪 I would appreciate your advice, I am a 5' 7"/170 casual runner who runs only with the Saucony Triumph 20 (they wear up) and I looking for my next new shoe. My easy run pace is 5:50/km or slower. Daily training pace is between 5:20 - 5:40/km for a 10k, And my last 10k race result was 50 minutes. My new goal is to run a 10k in 45 minutes and take a step towards running a half marathon by running 15k. So, I plan to add speed workouts to my routine (something I didn't do yet). I tried the Speed 3 and the Boston 12 and both of them felt good. Which of the two shoes would you recommend for my needs? Or, do you suggest something else? Also, what would be a good shoe rotation? Would it be reasonable to rotate between both of them? Thanks, a lot

@nickfrye7453 Күн бұрын

Hey. Ik I am not part of the YT channel but I think I could offer some advice. Im a d1 runner who works part time at fleet feet a running specialty store. I think you have two possibilities here. You could choose a trainer that is versatile and does it all. There are many on the market and this video highlights some of them. However, my personal opinion for someone taking running seriously and trying to improve race Pr’s is to have shoe rotation. It doesn’t have to be elaborate just two shoes makes a big difference. Having one for daily mileage and recovery runs and a second for faster efforts in training and racing. As far as what those will be you have many options! Ideally I’d recommend going into a local running specialty store and try on various options to see what works best for you. Ik at the stores I work at we can scan your feet and give recommendations based on that. I hope I was of some help and feel free to ask me questions. As far as the two you mentioned the endorphin speed and the boston would work great for a durable and versatile faster trainer and race shoe for someone like you. I personally really like the endorphin speed and have had experience in the past few models of it. As far as rotating the boston and speed I think choosing one or the other and an easy day/ daily trainer would be better. Example if you stuck with just saucony is using the triumph for daily mileage and easy runs and the speed for faster stuff.

I recently got Novablast 4 with the plan of wearing them for my marathon on 26 May. About 10 days in, I have 54 miles on them, so I picked up Hoka Mach 6 to take some of those miles before the race. Which of those two shoes do you think is better for the marathon itself, when I hope to run a 4-hour (or slightly faster🤞) time. It’s my first marathon, so I’m kinda freaking out.

@michaelgriffiths305 12 күн бұрын

I’d suggest the ASICS Novablast 4. The main reason is you will be on your feet for (hopefully) just under 4 hours. The Novablast has greater cushioning than the Mach 6. Whilst the Mach 6 will feel slighty more nimble and a little lighter after 15-17 miles with still 10 miles to go your legs will thank you for the extra cushioning. Furthermore whilst the Novablast isn’t a race shoe it is quite versatile and for your task it’s a very good choice.

I’m not sure if the ASICS Magic Speed could be considered as a daily trainer as it wasn’t designed for nor can it ever be used for easy daily miles never mind recovery runs. Rather it is the quintessential carbon plated speed shoe. I think one of the requirements for a daily trainer is to be versatile enough to do easy daily miles.

Guys, I’m not sure the plated shoes ie the trainer/racers should be included as a daily choice of trainer. I think there has been a merge in the two categories whereas two years ago they were clearly distinct. However, are you endorsing runners buying plated shoes for daily use? Not looking to be awkward rather asking what are we doing here? Thoughts/ responses welcome…

The endorphin speed has a nylon plate which is only there to reinforce the peba foam. Not the same as running in a carbon plated shoe.

@michaelgriffiths305 12 күн бұрын

@@ryanmohan3041 probably isn’t but the fact that many pros who do a lot more miles limit plates use as it’s unnatural on the feet AND there are not a host of scientific studies on the long term effects of plate use AND the fact it’s morphed so plated shoes being part of the daily trainer reviews are accepted is probably fine if your a major running brand making a profit but should KZfaq channels be perpetuating that? Personally I suspect your average first world runner who has spent the majority of their life walking around on cushioned soles will be fine. I accept a Saucony ES 1-4 offers a nylon plate which is more flexible. I’m more noting that without any question or clear explanation plates shoes have slipped into daily trainer use. I’m no podiatrist but seems a subtle shift which I’m not 100% sure about. That’s it!

@michaelgriffiths305 11 күн бұрын

@@jefreywith1f924 The plate changes how the foot moves through the foot strike regardless of the level of rebound. There is no doubt that there is more give in a Nylon plate verses a carbon one. Saucony have played a blinder in terms of reaching a greater audience. However, had they retained the narrower width of the ES1/2 then there is an argument to be made that the shoe does not become classified by influencers as, a “daily trainer”. Off course when wider it now appeal to a greater purchasing audience creating vagueness about its purpose. Undoubtedly, ES4 is a good running shoe but there yet to be long term tests to showing the impact on the feet & pathology. I’m not saying a nylon plate = plantar fasciitis. I am saying no one knows yet! It is interesting that the people (pros) running most ie upwards of 100 miles per week tend to limit plated shoe runs regardless of the individual shoes composition. Maybe it doesn’t matter so much for your enthusiast or average club runner getting in five runs and 30-50miles per week?
