Hi Chris, I have a question so at 5:37 you said that it tells information from your watch. Does it connect to your watch also? And which model of watch are you using? Thank you. Very nice review and congrats on your PB🎉

Did this race last week for the first time! I loved it❤😊

Great to see you back Chris and wishing your son a good recovery.

Great review! As always, honest and objective 👍 hope your holiday has been good! ☀

Ruined what was a great training shoe

I was in need of speed training shoes, so I went to the store. I really wanted to prefer the Saucony Endorphin Speed 4, but they were too narrow. Then I wanted to love the ASICS Magic Speed 4, but for my type of footstrike (midfoot-heel), they felt just like the Magic Speed 2. Then I tried these Hyperion Max 2 and to my surprise they felt exactly like what I was hoping for, although I had never bought Brooks shoes before and don't like the look. Since buying them I ran a tempo 18:36 5k in them, and intervals, and about 22 km at easy pace (4:30-5:00/km). My verdict: not my go-to for easy runs but they feel good enough; for speedwork, they deliver, I love the fit, and they bounce without being too soft. I'm even going to use them in an upcoming half-marathon where I'm not aiming for a PB (saving my supershoes for A-races).

Spot on. I tested them at the local running store and ended up not buying for the same reasons..

Excellent review. Mine arrived yesterday. Initial thoughts are that it fits my wide-ish feet perfectly and I love the laces. I prefer firmer mid soles like this (I’m a fairly big person). Nearly wore them today for a half marathon but decided it was safer to stick with something that I am familiar with.

Hit LIKE if enjoyed the video and found it useful and SUBSCRIBE for more running content like this 👍😊

Great location Chris. I hope you had some interesting runs there. Cheers! Phil

I hope you enjoyed your holiday mate. 😎🤘

Are you still running in Kayanos?

Currently looking for a shoe for my first 50 miler and this one is currently £84! I thought you had reviewed this shoe before. Seems like a no brainer going for it... Only wish it came in other colours 😬😵‍💫

Hello Chris, good to see you back on YT. I like your videos because they are very down-to-earth and help us average runners a lot. I cannot really take much home from videos about 2h30mins marathon runs. Also without knowing, we ran the same Brighton marathons in the past. I celebrate your return by subscribing (finally) and I hope you will give us a lot of content in the future. All the best. Val

I prefer running around lake，river🎉🎉

Great review, thank you. I’ve done 92 miles in the Ghost Max. It is also showing slight signs of wear on the outsole. My previous shoe is the Glycerin 20 (400+ miles) which I really like for its cushioned ride. I’ve found the Max to feel a little firmer but more responsive. When choosing the Max, I tried the Max and Glycerin 21 in the shop. Both felt super comfy but I chose the Max because I’ve occasionally had issues with my metatarsal joints and wanted to try something different. When it comes to replacing the Max, I’ll try the Max V2, Glycerin 21 and Ghost 16 in the shop but I’m currently leaning towards either the Glycerin or Ghost 16. Just my preference. All great shoes though.

Good to have you back, do what you need to do, we are the lucky ones. I haven’t uploaded our next video for about 3/4 weeks as I am currently ill with a chest cold… the pressure mounts. But we look after ourselves and our families first 😀

I've recently acquired the Gel-Kayano 28 and its AWL version. The plushest, most comfy shoes I've ever owned. I adore them, honestly. I'll likely use the regular 28 most in temperatures under 20°C, though.

Chris I have two valleys Downe and Cudham literally within a 5 k run plus the NDW at Knockholt less than 5 miles away so yes trails here mean plenty of elevation on almost every run . Another fab film so much effort with those fly by shots 👏🏃🏻‍♂️

Let’s go!!! Thanks for having me on here sir! Truly appreciated!

A comparison with the Glycerin 21 seems more logical as on paper they seem to share the same aims.

I did wonder Chris what had happened , you did pop up yesterday out of the blue thankfully, very best wishes to your lad , looking forward to you making more down to earth videos 👍

I have a love/hate relationship with hills. On my longer runs (more than 8 mi) the hills show up late, so I usually end up hating them. But, on my treadmill, they're not so bad.

With you on Colley Hill, it's evil!

Ghost 16 or Glycerin 20/21 ? Which one do you suggest…?

I live in a pretty hilly part of Glasgow so every run I always incorporate hills into it and I must admit I love it!! I love the legs feeling knackered once I’ve conquered the biggest hill and then it’s a nice slow jog down the other side 🤣 great video again Chris!

Not running related but your insta360 doesn’t seem to behave as it should and you can clearly see the invisible stick not cloned out properly by the software. Btw, hate hill running 😂

Good to see you back hope your son getting better.

100ft a mile where I live in Co Durham so have the same difficulty as you finding somewhere flat which is longer than 5k.

👌

So good to have you back on the screen👍👍 keep the vids coming

I love hills, but not hill reps! Great video Chris 😁

Check out the England top 😀

My part of Somerset is hilly hilly hilly, and every direction from my house is up 😂. I’ve learned to not be afraid of hills, and even thank them for making me stronger! Another great video Chris, Thankyou 👏

Not a lover for hill's myself but great benefits from doing them, not very kean on that top you were whereing Chris at the end of the video 🤣👍

Nice one, great content Chris! I used to live up the road from Reigate so used to train on those very same hills! Moved to Devon 9 years ago and very similarly I have to travel to find anywhere flat to do any kind of interval speed sessions! A question for you, what mic and camera set up do you use for your videos, I especially like the "running towards/away" shots! Cheers, Steve

Which camera do you use for this?

If you ever visit here in New York City, you can run the 6.1-mile loop around our famous Central Park. It is VERY hilly, especially in the north end. Many runners do long repeats up "Cat Hill" or "Harlem Hill" - and there are also three hills called "The Three Sisters." Come run our hills someday.

Yes, I agree with you about hill training - it is very painful and tortuous, and it is fabulous for strengthening one's heart, lungs, leg muscles and for strengthening one's will and determination. But it does hurt!

I, too, live in a hilly area in Essex and I appreciate the benefits (stronger muscles, great views etc) but sometimes I'd love to be able to go for a nice flat run round the woods!

You should have done the hill sprints on Colley Hill really mate 🤣👍

Glad your back! Liked your videos, used to get them popping up, was happy when I saw you again. Hope everything goes well for your son!

You sure have beautiful trails to run on. I especially like that creek crossing you sometimes go to with the stepping stones across the water. So pretty. And the view from Reigate Hill. You live in a very pretty area.

Aubrey's a great guy. It's good to see you get together!

How many people have a lunch break long enough to manage that!?! What about being sweaty and needing to change after, is that an extended lunch?….

Like King Alfred's soldiers and retreating Danes before me.. I also battled and sometimes died at Battlebridge a few times!

Aubrey sent me here. Even though I really dislike Brooks shoes subscribed. :D
