I’m a simple man, I see a new Eddbud video, I click.
me too💪
It’s much appreciated
Ran my first ever HM yesterday, previously topping my workouts at about 12K. Clocked in at 1:56:30 which i was super satisfied with. Cheers Edd amazing video as always!
Great job cracking 2 hours on your first half!
@@brothershirt3156 Thanks!
Surprised you didn’t have the invincible run 2s for your easy runs, bought them for a steal on the Christmas sales, can’t beat them for easy runs, even given my limited miles on them so far, enjoying them tonnes, even though they sound like I’m running on…. I don’t know, something really squeaky
I just don’t like the Invincible 2 as much as the first one. Not really enjoying them. Loved the first one put over 500 miles.
I’ve just got a pair of the invincible 2, but they feel super big on my feet while also being snug around the mid foot. Is this how you find it? Don’t want to go any bigger but also not sure I’d want to size down either! Maybe it doesn’t fit my foot. Think maybe triumph 20 or tempus instead??
It was hard for me to leave the holiday deals on Invincible on the table.
I loved the first version.
Good to hear you are training for a marathon. I am as well but earlier - bit scarily now "next month" in Seville. Are you going to be following sort some of training plan? Whatever be good to see a few videos on your training. Longest runs so far have been 21 miles in the NEXT% v1 (of course), 19 Prime X & 18 Endorphin Speed 2 RUNSHIELD is descending order of relative "ease" but Prime X is a nice cruiser. Just need to decide if going to use the NEXT% v1 or v2 in the race and did also get some v2 in the recent sales. Intervals & MP work hard to look past the NEXT% again but done a few shorter ones in the Endorphin Pro 3 and I might give the Alphafly 2 and Adios Pro 3 the odd further go. Daily training mainly a Pegasus - 39 regular on a dry day, 39 Shield on a wet day and Trail 4 GTX if want to do road/trail run and even still the Next Nature. Also used the Velocity Nitro 2 the other day but on a "rare" dry day! adidas SL and Ghost 15 got recently but better sat sulking in a corner :)
Many worry is traction right now. Even in supposed dry day today it’s raining. 🤣
@@EDDBUD NEXT% was fine over 21 miles of wet/muddy country lanes in part. I am however always a bit careful through such bits. Fortunately wasn't icy and then any shoe can become a problem.
Loved that you are spoiled for choices!
Bit like guests at the ambassadors party with the ferrero rocher
I'm also doing Brighton as my 1st official marathon, did a 50km Ultra in October but still counting Brighton as my first marathon. I'll be using all Nike trainers to train as that's all I own!
Pegasus 39 when dry.
Pegasus 39 Shield when wet.
Invincible 2 for easy/long runs.
Vaporfly 2 for intervals.
Pegasus 4 trail goretex for any trail runs.
And just ordered version 1 Alphaflys as they were 40% off on Pro direct website, my least favourite colour but couldn't argue with that price!
The only brand/shoe that's tempted me to try something besides Nike so far is the Saucony Pro 3, I almost bought them instead of the Alphaflys but decided to try the Alphaflys while the 1st version is still available and maybe get the Pro 3 at a later date for another marathon one day!
Nice Edd, We are different build (I am shorter and likely quite a bit heavier ) so race day choice will be different , but the velocity and the speed 3 are also in my training group. Have a fantastic training block. I am one of those sad peeps who actually prefers the training then the races themselves 🤣
much love Ed💪all the way from South Africa
Thanks for tuning in
I'm a Puma Velocity Nitro 2 (Daily), Puma Liberate Nitro (Track Speed Day), Saucony Endorphin Shift 2 (During my dynamic warm-up and for recovery runs). No race day shoe yet building up my body with training right now.
The Saucony Speed 3 is an outrageous shoe for its versatility. Find it very hard to get away from it for all workout types! Slow stuff sticking to Triumph 20 but that's it really
All my shoes are Nike but the Pro 3 is the one shoe I'm desperate to get at some point that isn't Nike!
@@adz1312 I do use the Next % 2 for races, and walk about in the Invincible.
Excited to see what you can do on Race Day for the Marathon!!😁😁
It will come round sooner than I think!
I picked up a pair of Alphafly 2's for €209 recently....Maiden voyage on NYD in 10k race where I ran 38'37 and 1st v50....Quite impressed out of the box but time will tell I suppose the more miles I put on them...Great vid as always and best wishes for the training bro
Back in the 70s our shoe rotation for marathon training was run in heavy shoes until they wear out and then run in light weight shoes for the race:-) Shoegoo was our friend to get additional miles out of our trainers! I mean who could afford to spend another $25 on yet another pair of waffle trainers?😊
Thinks perhaps are over complicated now. If we have to think to hard about it I suggest we don’t need it.
GO EDD!!!
👊
Glad you have a lot of shoes. For me on sale shoes triumph 19, new balance 880, and speed 2. I guess I'll wait until endorphin pro 3 goes on sale.
The pro 3 has a good sale here in the uk. Hope it gets discounted for you soon
Can't wait for your marathon , best of luck and I'm staying tuned
I have done a few half marathons (met you at my first at salisbury)since starting running 2 years ago and was thinking of doing a marathon sometime by gently building up mileage of long run until i achieved it on my own and thought this would probably happen during 2023,but now thinking i will just get on with training and do a small local race here in North dorset at end of April. Pretty sure i am capable if i just set the goal of finishing and not worry too much about a time target as its my first and i am oldish. Good luck with Brighton
Best of luck on your marathon 👍🏼👊
Solid rotation, Edd! Not surprising from someone who gets to try so many shoes, but you nailed it.
For what it's worth, mine is (and yes, I know: I'm a bit of a Nike fanboy...) :
- Easy runs / Daily runs : Vomero 16 (Infinity 2)
- Marathon Pace / Threshold : Tempo Next% (Vaporfly 4%)
- Long runs (with a lot of MP inside) : Hoka Mach 5 (Alphafly 1)
(the shoes between parenthesis are those when I'm especially tired and I need some extra comfort/assistance)
My race day shoes are the Vaporfly Next% : the 1 if I'm in a PR shape (my favourite shoe of all times, but I don't have any more backup pair), the 2 if I'm not.
My marathon rotation:
I don't run marathons, but as a hobby decathlete I still have quite a few shoes 😅
I have been asked many times to run one. So why not. 🤣
@@EDDBUD A decathlon? It's great fun, but takes lots of preparation. Just as a marathon
Someone I'm sure will call me bonkers, but I've been using the prime X strung for the lot. No rotation at all. Soft on the legs, good for pace work, good for slow stuff. That's why I think the shoe is a 'bargain' [sic], it dispenses with everything else! 😬 And they look like futuristic disco platforms, what's not to like?
Not bonkers. But good value
I ran my first marathon late November (age 64 for the BQ age edge) in Nike Vaping fly 2% bought in April after 10 mile (May) and half marathon (September) races and two long runs (16 and 20 milers) in them, and other miles so I had about 100 miles at race day and they were fabulous 😍. Best fit of any running shoe I ever put on my size 12 US (C width) longboats. Ever. Lock down easy. 3:38. Hello Boston (and NY). 165 miles and counting for occasional long runs only now, retired from racing but wearing well still....
Great stuff Ken. Glad those are working out for you
I’d throw in the speed 3 for some of the runs.
Happy new year, Ed! I did 20.23 miles in the Strung on January 1 since it felt appropriate, as a long run shoe it remains nearly infallible. Invincible in the rotation too for daily miles, and NB More V4 and Pegasus Trail 4 Gore-Tex on the way, especially excited about the Pegs for snowy days. Haven’t run long in the Adios Pro 3 yet but barring any issues I think that will be my go-to race shoe this year.
The more miles I have put into the pro 3 the better it has felt. Though I’m still not set on the upper which seems to shrink and expand every day!
Can’t quite decide if I’ll race in the VF2, Endorphin Pro 3, or the Adios Pro 3… plenty of time to decide as I’m doing London! These will all be used in marathon-specific workouts; Reebok Energy X and Saucony Ride 15 are my long/easy day stuff, Puma Magnify for the recoveries, and I’ll still do some speed work in the Adios Pro 1/Takumi Sen 8 I think!
Gonna start training for my marathon in Apr as well.
Long/Easy runs: Invincible 2
Tempo runs: Rebel v2
Raceday would be Vaporfly 2s.
So far the Invincible are crazy good...might get another pair of max cushioned shoe but idk whether I should I go for the New Balance's Fresh Foam More v4
My rotation for the Atlanta Marathon at the end of February has been nova blast 3 for recovery runs unless I’m really sore then the Invincible Run come out, Adidas Pro 2 for speed workouts (although swapping in my new Pro 3’s as well), long runs have been either the Prime X Strung or VF’s. Scored a screaming deal on a pair of AF-1’s and will be working those in to see if that will be the race day shoe or go with the VF’s
Good luck for Brighton lad looking forward to see how you get on
Great video(as always:-)) thanks. I personally love the Lightstrike Pro with energy rods combo of Adidas the most for race days. I am so nuts about it that I am actually considering using my Tacumi Sen 8s(after sorting out the lacing) for the full Marathon distance end of Jan. Furthermore, I like any shoe from Asics that uses their guidesole tec for training, e.g. Glideride 3 for bulk training miles and long runs, with the Noosa Tri 14 for Tempo days.
I just wish the Adios pro 3 had a better lockdown. I end up messing with it too much for it to be my race shoe
I’d suggest any shoes you feel comfortable in also something with a stable feel and wider under arch support to aid in injury prevention you don’t wanna roll a ankle or get shin splint
That’s a great rotation. My rotation is simple. Nike Pegasus 39 for recovery/easy runs. I’m a massive fan of the pegs. I know you weren’t that happy with the 38’s but I loved mine, but as you said the 39’s are better. Then I have endorphin speed 2. For tempo/threshold. I love the feel of the foam and the plate. The quicker you run the more you get back. Then my race shoe is the Alphafly V1. The foam and squash is amazing. I feel it works perfectly for me at the moment. 👍🏼💪🏼👟
hi. my next marathon in March with Endorphin’pro 3 (first carbon shoes), aiming about 4:40/km. Training a lot with Pegs too (38,39)! cheers.
I too am running my first marathon in Brighton. Aiming for 3:30-3:45 so a little behind you Ed. Long run trainers are Novablast 3 and NB More v4 if legs are tired. Daily stuff using Endorphin Speed 3 - I agree that shoe feels better and better, over 100 miles in now. If it ever dries out a bit I’ll slip on the Inov8 Trailfly G270 for some off-road miles. Race day undecided between Addidas Pro 3, Endorphin Pro 3 or Vaporfly 2.
Have a great race Ant!
Since you’re training over the winter months, I can highly recommend the Saucony Endorphin Speed 3 RUNSHEILD. It’s been an awesome water resistant shoe so far and strangely retained its light weight
That’s not a bad shout!
We can’t get the speed 3 run shield in the uk
@@steveh8758 ah! That’s too bad. It’s a great one. If ever you guys are travelling, keep the idea. It’s such a great upper for rainy/slush/snowy conditions, with all the mechanics of the regular speed. Still don’t know how they kept the weight the same with such a stout upper.
@@kentm7731
we had the speed 2 runsheild last year And
I loved that shoe
Strange how saucony didn’t release 3 here
We got the triumph runshield
How do the Runshield hold up? The Pegasus Shield I have are indestructible. I've got a pair of the original Speed that I killed in less than a hundred miles. Good shoe, just didn't last, so I'm definitely interested in Saucony's Runshield line.
Hi Edd - very best towards Brighton training block. Stay healthy!
Endorphin Speed 2 - RC elite 2 both for training runs.
Endorphin Pro 3 for Long runs and the Marathon for me
A simple but perfect rotation! Thanks Steve. Already have a cold sadly. The danger of working in an education environment. May wear my mask till April. 🤣👍🏼
I was gifted the Puma Magnify Nitro and Electrify Nitro to train for my first HM.
I definitely want to put the Puma Deviate Nitro 2 in the rotation, but are there any others you would suggest adding?
I found getting up to 20miles on the long run at least 6/7wks before the race helped, so I could get 3/4 runs at that 20-23mile length in the bag. Great confidence booster. Have you taken the Velocity Nitro 2 for that length yet?
Hi ! my best marathon was also 3h23. My next race will be on 23rd March 2023 in Ghent (B), hoping less than 3h20 (for sure!). My race shoes will be Endorphin Pro 3. Current training runs with Pegasus 39, Boston 8, Adios 6, some with the Saucony (are they good for the long runs…!?😮) 5 runs per week, max 80 km per week. Maximum 17 miles per week ! You mentioned 20 in your case, it seems a bit too long…
26.5 km this afternoon. stay strong man ! 🏃♂️ 👟 💪 😎. bye from 🇧🇪. Good luck 🍀Edd
Love your videos Edd! They're like little bright spots sprinkled into my week ...even though my wife and kids roll their her eyes if they happen to walk into the room and sees shoes on the TV! :)
I'm a longtime runner but training for my first ever marathon (Calgary Marathon in May ...Canada's longest running marathon) and this is my current rotation:
Daily trainer: Novablast 3
Long run trainer: Prime X (finally bit the bullet on it, thanks to a 40% promo code I got my hands on)
Raceday: Endorphin Pro 3 (most comfortable and awesome shoe I've even worn)
Trail : Sense Ride 4 (not needed for my training really but I love trail running - would love to try out the Peg 4 Trail at some point)
I would also love to try Vaporfly's at some point, but can't really see myself switching from the Pro 3's.
I've been liking the fit of my Pro 3's so much that I'd like to consider a Saucony shoe as my next daily trainer once I replace my NB 3's in 2-3 months. I've heard a lot of good things about the Speed 3's, but not sure if they're ideally suited as a daily shoe? Or are they?
Sounds like the Shift 3 is the intended daily trainer in the Endorphin line, but I don't much about it. And I've also heard good things about the Kinvara and Tempest (not so much the Triumph).
Any daily trainer (from Saucony) recommendations? I quite like my NB 3's, but find them to fit a bit long and just find my Pro 3's to be ultra comfortable (if that level of minimal upper and comfort might be available in Saucony's others shoes).
Thanks again Edd for your awesome channel.
Glad you enjoy the videos 👍🏼👊
Look at The Run Testers channel for exactly the Tempest/Triumph/Shift comparison. Personally I'm inclined to do the Tempest as a trainer due to the PB foam but the Triumph foam is getting great reviews as well. Probably comes down to the cost (love those discount codes!). Cheers from Toronto (I hear the booing from here!😁)! Good look in your marathon!
Surprised you wrote off the Endorphin Pro 3, given the enthusiastic review! Grabbed a pair at £129 and will use for the upcoming Brighton Half
More a race shoe for me if anything. I never say never. 🤣👍🏼
Cool video. Some suggestions for me to check out.
I like the ASICS gel nimbus 24 lite in my training rotation. Those Reeboks intrigued me.
Reeboks are bringing some top value
Nice!🎉
Thanks for the visit
I dont run marathon distance mostly its just 5k and 10k so i use liberate nitro and deviate nitro 2 for my training im considering either Fast R or deviate nitro elite should work.... should think about it...
Maybe I'll see you at the start line, if I make it through the training. Booked myself an entry at the last minute. How it suddenly focuses the mind (and panic) to get into the training.
Saucony Endorphin Pro 3 will be my race shoe.
Saucony Speed 2 Runshield for some wet weather mileage and just got Saucony Tempus for my longer endurance runs when I need some support and my form gets sloppy.
Asics Speed 2 and Adidas Adios 6 for some tempo efforts.
It certainly provides some focus!
For my first HM I ended up using Speed 2 for everything except the race (VFN% 1). I already have too many shoes but got Endorphin Pro 3 to help me get to Amsterdam this Autumn. After a couple of test runs I'm yet again reminded there's no magic, just discipline.
Yes it’s all down to the hard work at the end of the day
I'd agree the Vaporfly Next% 2 would be my race shoe for the marathon in the first half of 2023, although I'd have a backup plan to use the Vaporfly Next% 1 with Vaporweave if the course will be wet on the day. Did a couple of half marathons in them during torrential rain/flooded course and found the Vaporweave upper did not hold any water to keep the weight down. It also dries very quickly compared to shoes with mesh uppers.
I did pull out an old pair which still feel good with the vaporweave.
My rotation for Manchester:
Easy/Recovery: Novablast 2/3 and Invincible 1
Intervals/Tempo: Speed 3 and Metaspeed Sky 1
Long run/MP: Prime X Strung
Race: Endorphin Pro 3
Aiming for 3:35 💪🏿🙏🏿
Need to get some more miles into my speed 3. Good luck 👍🏼👊
Would be interested in hearing about your training too. Will you be following a plan or mapping it out yourself? If so, would love some insight:)
Coming up soon Robin 👍🏼👊
Agree with shoe choice
I love alphafly for my long runs but prefer vaporfly for raceing.
I think the size of the alphafly gets in the way a bit when trying to run fast
And I’d have the invincible run as one of my easy day selections
I’d probably go
invincible 2 easy
Speed 3 /nova blast daily
Speed3/vaporfly/streakfly speed
Alphafly long run
And vaporfly race
Interesting the Saucony Pro 3 didn't make it into the rotation.... Reason why?
Thanks for the videos!
Perhaps trying to use up shoes that haven’t had all that much in the spotlight. The endorphin pro 3 perhaps a good alternative to the VF
❤
🥈
I got 120k on my SC trainer in just 6 runs, easy to guess how I use them, fantastic shoe for long runs. For runs at target pace I do however use an old Vaporfly. Endorphin Pro 2 or True Motion Solo for speedwork. Superblast works quite well for my more daily runs, Invincible or Magnify for shorter recovery runs.
Will give mine a go on a long effort. It’s got the cushion for sure
Looks like you've got a few shoes to hand there Edd, who would of thought that? 😂
I'm currently using Nike React Infinity Run v1, Puma Velocity v2 and the Adidas Adios 6. Just retired the Adidas Boston 9 (940km) and SL20 v1 (760km) the Infinity will be the next to go in a few more weeks. Closer to race day which is the end of March I'll be adding in the Nike Zoom Fly Flyknit and the Vaporfly Next% v2. Should it predict an absolute downpour I may swap the Vaporfly out for the Adios Pro 2, as it may be better in the rain?.
Rodney - Yeah, well, you try and have a nice kip, eh? His legs are still playing him up.
Del - Well, I told him not to run in the London Marathon.
The lifts are broken again.
Edd! Great race day shoe choice! I train largely in low stack racing flats, reserving the Vaporflys for a few long runs and the Boston Marathon itself. I'm thinking I shouldn't put more than about 60 to 70 miles in them prior to the race. My previous pair seemed to lose a lot of their magic around 90 to 100 miles...still have them and may use them for a few long runs. What do you think?
I know I’m beating a dead horse but I’m so glad you included my favorite all around shoe ….. the Puma Velocity Nitro 2! Not sure if Puma will put out a new version but I hope they don’t ruin it! Liked your other choices also!
They will absolutely have to keep that one going with a v3.
V3 is late 2023 but more probably 2024.
Where d you put the 1K repeats at 5min/mile 3.10 /K ?? Where are those Edd? 😄😄
The alphafly for long run nice choice. , the adidas strong not good for long 20 mile runs?
Not sure I will need many of those at my pace. 7:30/mi target! Will use the primex when the legs are not complying. 🤣
I am doing an ultra in May and a Ironman 70.3 in June. So kind of training for both! I’m really happy with my shoe rotation which I have just about got dialled in:
Daily trainer - Novablast 2 and Peg 39
Speed work - Noosa Tri 14
Long run - Glideride 3
Trail - NB More trail V2
I don’t need a really fast shoe because my goal races don’t really require me to go fast! And the Noosa Tri 14 will be perfect for a few local 10k and half marathon races etc during the training block. Also, last year I found I actually performed better in the Noosa Tri 13 than the Endorphin Pro 2, so going to stick to the non plated race shoe this year and see how we get on!
Thanks
My rotation is Velocity Nitro 2 (30 miles in them) for easy, shorter 'long' runs, possibly Triumph 20 for longer, but they have 400 miles in them. But was thinking of using Speed 2 (100 miles) for Marathon pace, tempo/interval and + 20 long runs as so comfy and protect the legs. Ultimate goal to purchase Endorphin Pro 3 beginning of April (my vitality/runners need 50% discount kicks in 🤣) to use for last couple of weeks to bed in then use for race day. What are you thoughts? Thanks for excellent content on your channel and this one specifically at just the right time. Keep up the great work. 👍
Running London, first ever Marathon.
How do I change super thanks amount, first time 🤦
Any amount is appreciated Brian 👍🏼👊
I'm training for the Brighton marathon too and also hope to run in the next% ekiden on the day itself. In the meantime I'm training in my Saucony Hurricane 23 and Endorphin Pro. Maybe not the best choice but I'll have to burn these out before I can stock up the shoe cupboard! Anyone have an opinion on the New Balance 1080 v12s?
Not heard much on the v12
Hi Edd, HNY!! Can you compare carbon plateless shoes for marathon training or slow long run training? Thanks in advanced.
Easy run- NB SC trainer /NB More V4
Intervals- Endorphin pro 3/ speed 3
Tempo- Speed 3/ Saucony Tempus
Long Run- Saucony Tempus/ NB More V4/ speed 3
Race day- Endorphin pro 3
I’ve gone for the adidas pro 3 over my vaporflys. Think they’ll just shade it with stability in the later miles. Glideride 3 for longer training and rotate a few others like velocity nitro, endorphin speed. Bit of trails too.
Certainly a bit more stable. Just don’t get on all that well with the pro 3 upper. Bit inconsistent for me.
Maybe I missed something but didn't you complain about foot pain in the Alphaflys in your 100 miles review video?
Also expected to see Metaspeed Sky+ make the cut.
Marathon start of June for me, currently looks like Vomero 16, Ghost 14 and NB 1080v12 for the bulk of it. Endorphin speed 2 occasionally if I'm feeling the strain, and Adios Pro 2 for racing and of course some outings coming up to race day.
Yes check my recent shoe mods video
No New Balance More V4? That is a great long run training shoe as well.
Don’t own that one at present
@@EDDBUD Excellent shoe (IMO). If you get those shoes, I would like to see your review. I don't think you will be disappointed.
When Vaporflys ate in your life its great.
I think so
You are starting to get anxious, Edd, you have a lot of shoes but with too many miles. You should buy 3 or 4 pairs more for this block training 🤣🤣
Best of the lucks Edd, you will do it brilliantly!!
That's the plan!
Hi
🥇
Would you consider throwing in a 4mm or less drop shoe to mix it up once in awhile? Dont want an overuse injury. Thoughts?
These all seem to work well for me to be honest so should be fine.
I'm really interested in Reebok and Puma, but I can't get them in local stores.
I've got a good collection of Puma Disc (boa) shoes, I'm a huge fan of the brand, but it seems like their sizing is all over the place at times, and that's not a risk I want to take ordering a running shoe.
Puma are much more true to size and consistent these days
Any thoughts to the Alphafly 1 for a full marathon? They’re more aggressive and lighter than the 2, but that extra forefoot cushion over the Vaporfly might come in handy over the course of a marathon
it's very clunky but if you don't mind that the extra cushioning definitely helps in the long run. Only way to fully maximize its use is to run a much quicker paces.
I felt it’s not quite what I need for my target pace
Let's be honest EDDBUD is using the Prime X 90% of the time. But that wouldn't of made an interesting video 😛
🤣
Glad you recommended the Vaporfly Next % 2 as your race shoe as I bought a pair recently! I agree that it makes sense to wear them in but how many miles would you recommend doing before race day so you still get maximum effect? I was thinking maybe running a competitive half and 20-miler in them... I also have the Speed 2s for the longer training runs and picked up a reasonable pair of Pegasus 39 for the everyday miles. Good luck at Brighton. I'm running Manchester and want to take a chunk out of my 3:27 PB!
Already have a pair that I ran the Bristol half in amongst other races back in 2021. Great shoe
Edd Bud….A shoe for every mile if he could…..😅
Out of curiosity, why not the puma fast-r or adios pro for the marathon?
Just feel the VF works a touch better for me
How much do you weigh? I am following you on Strava (feel like a stocker) I love the Nike Vapor fly, and Alpha Fly these are my all-time speedster however I tend to burn them up really fast 150 miles I am typically a toe striker but on these, I hit the heel of the left foot
I’m about 11 and a half stone.
bit off topic , but what are your thoughts on the new mizuno wave rebellion pro ?
I think if that design is so good then why has it not been done before…..
@@EDDBUD true ,,I fbr done one bit it never took off ,,,I'm sure the big names would of explored this route before
Hi, Edd. I used the adios pro3 for a marathon in December and it was an absolute success. How many marathons per year do you do?
Never raced one. Ran time trials but will be my first!
I have a question: which is the best adidas shoe for track and field training and also running in the road? Is the takumi sen 8 or something else?
Sen 8 is hard to beat for that
@@EDDBUD Thank you!!
Where did you get your pebax insoles from for the endo speed 3?
From my tempo next%
@@EDDBUD thanks!
There may be faster runners in Brighton, but there certainly won't be anyone who has spent more money on running shoes!
I bet there is. Some people in my town have way more than me.
@@EDDBUD well those people can’t describe them as eloquently ;)
‘There won’t be anyone with a better rotation’
First?
Just missed the podium
It's hard to pull the trigger on a pair of puma or reebok. They're probably awesome judging by the reviews but I'd feel a dick in them when I've got prime x strung 🤔
Very different shoe for different purpose
Hi
🥉
