  • Running Shoe Talk is back. Today's subject is Super Trainers. I would tell you all five problems but then why even watch this content I worked oh so hard to create. Not that anyone reads the description but if you do, I buried ten thousand dollars in backyard under the apple tree. Just kidding. I don't have that much money nor do I own an apple tree. I do own a lot of running shoes. In this video I mention the SC Trainer v1 and v2, the Boston 12, the Hoka Skyward X, the Adizero Prime X Strung, the Endorphin speed 1 and the Endorphin Pro 4, all of which I own. This is just my opinion. I may be wrong. It happens a lot. But it is my experience.

    I would consider the ASICS Magic Speed 3 as a super trainer. Race day upper, superior training foam that feels great with the carbon plate, and a thicker outsole in the same configuration as the MetaSpeed shoes. It feels great at all paces for me as a midfoot striker, but the roll off the toe makes you want to push the pace. A great all around shoe and reminds me of the feeling I got with the Endo Speed 1.

    • @MidLifeRunner
      @MidLifeRunner  20 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Thanks for looking out Matt beier. Similar to this year, I always run out of money when the Magic speed releases and never circle back for it. You had me at endo speed 1. I’ll have to pick it up when it’s on sale - maybe instead of socks or cologne I’ll get magic speed 3s for Father’s Day

    • @mattbeier
      @mattbeier 20 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@MidLifeRunner That sounds like a great plan. After seeing the Magic Speed 4 and the massive changes, I would rather have the Magic Speed 3. It is a slightly more aggressive shoe compared to the Endo Speed 1, but it rolls so nicely at speed especially when you hit that sweet spot. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it in the future.

      I do wonder that a lot. Heard a little mixed reviews but mostly positive . I wonder if the foam is as dense as the sc trainer v1 with good rebound or if it’s a bit softer and I will sink into it more. Only one way to find out

    Adding a superlative at the start of each shoe name let's you charge 20-30 dollars RRP .. didn't you realise it. .. Funny enough my favorite trainer of the last 12 months was the topo cyclone 02 .. a low stack of pebax with no need for a plate as it was low enough to the ground not to need a stability aid .. go figure .. quite like the rebel v4 at the moment (and yes I do have a wider foot) , a bit thicker but blends a little peba into eva for a nice but of return.. Likely I am just not super enough to see the justification for the 70's 300g + platform trainers .

    • @MidLifeRunner
      @MidLifeRunner  20 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      I ran out of money before I could get the topo cyclone and then it wasn’t available in my size. I really want to try that shoe. The rebel v3 was one of my top shoes of 2022 and I bought a back up pair just to remember it as shoes get more and more structured. I want to make a video on what is becoming a more traditional “low stack” running shoe. I like the brooks Hyperion tempo, the trinoosa, and to a lesser extent the vomero 16 and floatride energy 5 from Reebok. I use them for the gym and for the treadmill on Mondays .

    Thank you I thought I was the only crazy person who bought the Endorphine Pro 3 & Deviate Nitro Elite 1, both on sale for training only. I have not picked my race shoe yet. Super trainers are glorified daily trainer. I wish I could buy all of them. But I really don't think they are necessary in your rotation for any purpose. Mach 6 Rebel V4 Novablast 4 Triumph 21 can do everything a supertrainer does.

      💯I would take the Novablast 4 over the Boston 12 and sc trainer v2 any day. I bought the deviate nitro elite v1 for threshold runs too. The sc elite v3 is a zesty lil number too that doesn’t have super shoe punch but I love training in it . Nimble.

    My beef: Super trainers that use the same foam, even a similar/same plate as the company's super shoe/ racer. So gues what? They wear out as quickly as the racer models, maybe more quickly with a lot of "-plodding miles".
