Totally agree on those first iterations of the Endorphin series. I went through 5 pair of the Speeds and still dig out the first edition Pro once in awhile. 🇨🇦
I’ve become a bit of a Asics fanboy at the moment, I rotate between the Asics Nimbus 25, Novablast 3 LE , Asics Superblast for race day and like you I favour the Saucony Xodus Ultra for trails although I’ve not tried the updated version yet. 🏃🏻♂️☀️❤️
Current rotation for trail: Nnormal Kjerag for short and or tech trail under 10 miles. Nnormal Tomir for Mud or super wet conditions. Xodus Ultra for recovery or going long (10-?). Still looking for a shoe for flat gravel/ dirt road / street.
Great line up! Definitely the Saucony Speed 2 for me. I was really impressed with these the first time a wore them, a real game changer for the road running I do. I think they feel more punchier than the speed 3’s which I found to be a little disappointing for me and not so supportive in the upper, maybe due to the softer material?
Hi Lloyd, just missed you when Runventure took on Helston and bought Altra Timp 3 which I love, so freeing 😂- sadly could not find any more in 9.5’s so have moved to the Lone Peak 6, yet to be run. Have a good run in Reading!
Hi Ben Sorry I missed you in Helston but I'm glad you found some shoes you liked! This is an old video so Reading Half has been and gone but thanks for the luck anyway 😊 There's a video from the Half Marathon on the channel if you want to check it out, thanks for watching 🙏 Loyd
On road shoes I’ve had to ditch the Saucony Speed 2 as I’ve be having major stability issues with them during speed sessions, to the point I was getting pain in my right thigh. This was a worry as I’m training for the Manchester Marathon. My rotation is now Saucony Triumph 19/20 for easy runs. Saucony Speed 3 for Tempo and Saucony Endorphin Pro 3 for speed work. I’ve just got a new pair of Pro 3’s for marathon day too 😊
I’m also a huge saucony fan. I use the guides for daily runs, the tempus for longer efforts and pro 3 for speed efforts. However on the trails I use the Nike Pegasus trail 4. But it’s a lot less technical with tarmac sections on my main routes. 😊
Great video Loyd, I'm a fan of the Speed series and find the 3 is more of a daily shoe but can pick the pace up when needed, I have just (literally today) got a pair of the new On Running Cloud Surfer and think that these could take the place of the Speeds, only time will tell! For fast road I still think the Vaporfly outguns the Endorphin Pro 3 and see no need to update to the version 3 yet as I have 3 pairs of version 2 with varying miles in them 😁
I’m a Saucony guy. Guide for easy runs and Kinvara for tempo/speed/ race. Just bought a pair of Xodus Ultra and Peregrine 12 for more than half the price. Could not justify the higher price for the Peregrine 13 at the moment.
I tend to switch between Altra Torin and Altra Vanish Tempo. The newer more dialed in Altras fit my feet great. Not too clown like, but still a little wider in the forefoot than most other shoe brands.
My road running shoe rotation is the altra rivera 2, novablast 2, hoka mach 5 for those easy days, the endorphin speed 2 or sketchers razor excess for the faster days and the nike invicinle 1 which I found off ebay for £40 for those long run days. Thankfully I am starting trail running again after a long xc season as I gear up for a 60km in June, so my tra shoe rotation is the saucony xodus ultra and hoka challenger atr 6 for those long slower runs. I have one pair of really worn down xodus's for the road and trail days. For the long muddy days I have the inov8 roclite g320. Then for races and shorter ones I have the salomon slab pulsar sg and for the really muddy days the good old inov8 mudclaws.
Great video Loyd always interesting to see what you TH-camrs are running in. No room for the Salomon ultra glide 2!? I have only one trail shoe and that the first version of the ultra glide. Fantastic shoe. On the road just picked up a pair of NB 880V12 for a bargain £73 and really enjoying them for daily miles with the saucony triumph 20 which really is a special shoe for long runs. Speed 2 for anything quicker and race day ( Fleet half this Sunday !) Thanks 👍
I also was a huge fan of original speed . Didn't buy the speed 2 , but was disappointed with the speed 3 . Still a great shoe and I love wearing for easy runs, but no where near the same lively feeling as the original. Currently running in the takumi sen 8 for tempo runs.
Lucky man, having all that choice. I'm using speed goat 4 & 5 on the trails. And daily shoes are Tempus and Clifton 7. Mid shoe is Rebel v2 and fast shoe is next %2. My favourite is by far the Rebel v2. Still going strong after 340 miles. For KVK I will be using the Speed goat, just no sure which one yet??
I use Sacouny 2 and 3 and the Pro. I just brought Adidas adios Pro 3. They are fantastic, and i think way better than Alphafly and vaporfly from Nike. For trail, I still wear Sacouny peregrine11.
Road: Novablast 3 for easy days, Endorphin Speed 1 for tempo, Endorphin Pro 3 for race day. Trail: Nike Pegasus Trail 2 is only shoe currently. Looking for something faster right now.

Salomon Pulsar trail pro might be the fastest shoe for relatively easy trails
@ thanks you, I will check it out. Trails here are flat, mostly dirt, sand and roots with heavy pine straw coverage. Sometimes very muddy, but mostly packed and dry.
With the latest endorphin speed changing, any suggestions for alternatives for interval and speed work? My speed 2’s are coming to the end of their lifecycle 😢
Great vid as always.. .. Looks like there isn’t much difference between the Peregrine 13 and the Xodus Ultra.. why do you think you’d pick one over the other? I’ve got an worn pair Xodus ready to go in to rotation ready for UTS50.. hoping they’ll look after my feet better than my Peregrine ST I used for a Snowdon Marathon last year.. 🤞🏼
Hi Lloyd, currently running the North Face Vectiv Infinite 2’s…..are they in the pipeline to test? They work well for me and I’m interested to know what you think of them.
I've become a Saucony fan boy recently. Loving the Speed 2's and the Xodus Ultras (I've got two pairs on the go at the moment). Any idea when the Xodus 2 are going to be available?
I am a little bit OCD when it comes to my running shoes Joyce! 😊 There's actually a video on the channel showing how I clear them. Thanks for watching 🙏
I've run some pretty technical trails in the Xodus Ultra and I've had no issues, they performed well 👍 I used them for the TDS and the Xodus was great. Hope this helps Bilal and thanks for watching 🙏
Good afternoon for all the runners. Interesting your running shoes rotation. I have: Long distance: Nb 880 V12 Race day: Saucony Kinvara 12 Trailrunning: Brooks cascadia 16. Like to Run4adventure. A nice Friday for everyone. 🌞🏃⛰️
Hi Loyd, I love my Brooks ghost 15 for my daily slow and long runs, I’ve tried others but these are comfortable out of the box shoes. I still have the original endorphin speed for my tempo and intervals and going to use the endorphin pro 3 for the Paris marathon next week. I have the serpent trail 50km coming up (your fault that I signed up to it😂😂). I have the peregrine 12 but I’m not sure they’re great for dry hard ground- any recommendations?
ปีที่แล้ว +1
Xodus ultra for the 50k trail? Or Salomon Pulsar trail pro if you want to be faster 😄
I haven't run enough miles in them yet Carl. I cantcreally say it's in my rotation when I've only run in it twice! It's a good shoe though 👍 Thanks for watching 🙏
I haven't got the Hoka Rocket X 2 so it can't be in my current running shoe rotation? This is a video about the shoes I'm currently choosing to do the bulk of my running in 👍

Try the metaspeed sky plus if you haven't already. Game changer for me even after having used vaporfly and alphafly previously.

Hi Nick 😊
The new Xodus Ultra 2 should be released early April so not long 👍
Road shoes: daily trainer Asics Novablast 3,speed shoe Adidas Takumi Sen 9. Trail shoes: easy runs Salomon Ultra Glide 2, faster runs Adidas Terrex Speed Ultra. My footshape and the Adidas shoes are a perfect match.
What are the socks you’re wearing with the New Balance?
The socks are from Stance Ryan 🧦
I have the Xodus Ultra as my main trail shoe, I’m running Snowdonia 50k, do you think the Xodus would be okay for that race ?
How do you keep your shoes this clean? (Or how do you clean them?) Wow!
I am a little bit OCD when it comes to my running shoes Joyce! 😊
There's actually a video on the channel showing how I clear them. Thanks for watching 🙏
@@Run4Adventure Thanks, I will look it up!
Very cool looking socks …
Do you think the Xodus ultra is appropriate for a long technical trail run with some sections of grade 1 scrambling?
I've run some pretty technical trails in the Xodus Ultra and I've had no issues, they performed well 👍 I used them for the TDS and the Xodus was great. Hope this helps Bilal and thanks for watching 🙏
@@Run4Adventure great to know that I don't need to carry a separate pair of approach shoes for scrambling
Good afternoon for all the runners. Interesting your running shoes rotation. I have:

@ thanks Miika, I just want to survive it first!😂😂😂
Re the trail choices Lloyd - the new Wildhorse didn't cut it in the end then?
I haven't run enough miles in them yet Carl. I cantcreally say it's in my rotation when I've only run in it twice! It's a good shoe though 👍
Thanks for watching 🙏
I saw the red white and blue socks and they look nice, but I believe you’re British correct?
I'm definitely British 👍
4:17 what was that? Lol
That was the Saucony Endorphin Pro 3 👍
no hoka rocket x2?
I haven't got the Hoka Rocket X 2 so it can't be in my current running shoe rotation? This is a video about the shoes I'm currently choosing to do the bulk of my running in 👍
