I’ve been looking at these. Your content is so relatable so when you were reviewing this shoe I ordered them at about the halfway point of the video. May of 22 I completed a Full doing MAF at 4:45. May of this year I did the full at Buffalo 3:58(Pfitz 18/55). I did a bunch of shorter stuff before this Marathon block to get faster. I’ll be doing my speed build- 5ks, 10ks and Halfs all in Orlando now through next Spring where I’m hoping to get to about 8:00 pace for the next full in April/May of 24. I’ll just have to see where the paces are at approaching next Spring. Good luck with everything and thanks for the awesome content.
Ive got around 280 miles on mine now. They do get better and mine still feel great. I think what they do best is being super light and stable as well as really looking after your legs on long runs. My knees, ankles and feet feel a lot fresher than in other running shoes especially with carbon plates in.
All so true! I took mine out on a recovery run yesterday and found myself gliding at near steady pace at a recovery-level heart rate. These shoes are insane.
Congrats on your Superblast review. These are my favorite trainer. They are pretty responsive, confy, cushioned, versatile. Capable to do well easy, moderate and fast runs efficiently
I totally agree. Many say it can do everything, but I’d say it’s best at marathon pace. I used Superblast for every long run in my last marathon block, from easy long runs, long run workouts and long tempos, and loved them!!
Glad you got so much use and enjoyment out of yours! I’m currently enjoying my pair so much that I’m almost subconsciously trying not to put too many miles on them so I can make them last as long as possible.
@@HobbyJoggerElite Same! I used Novablast 3’s for easy days and Magic speed for interval/track workouts. Superblast for me fit best at tempos and long runs at MP. I wanted to save them for more quality sessions, especially since I have Metaspeed Sky+ for races and wanted to get a feel for FF Turbo without putting too many miles in them before race day.
Deciding bw these and the new balance SC elite 3’s for an upcoming marathon race. These haven’t come in yet but the SC elites did and they’re sooo comfortable! But I think the super blasts will also be equally so, and they will last much longer so better value?? Great review!!
I love these for longer runs! They would definitely work for a marathon, no doubt about it. My pair has about 250 miles on them right now and they’re still feeling great 👍
The Superblast is my shoe of the year. Fast rebound. Stable enough not to be a stability shoe. I was so surprised how light it is for a its stack. Yes, it tends to feel like it disappears as you run longer and longer in it. It can do so many things well. Price is justified. I know many complain about it. If I had a two shoe rotation: Superblast and MetaSpeed Series. I’ll be set for my 13.1 to 26.2 training block. I plan on buying another pair after I reach 300 miles on my first pair. Plenty of life left. You can probably push it 500-600 miles but I like having new pair of running shoes every year.
Should add…Im at 200 miles in mine and have definite wear outsole. The Ahari(?) black part of the outsole is worn down to the level of the FF Blast and the FF Blast has lots of scuffs. Im sure the shoe can go longer but I have a 2nd pair that I just got and will start using it also
I have some 150 miles in them. Hated the Novablast 3. Superblast is AMAZING. Getting better and better as the miles build up. Still looking new at 150 miles.
I just love my Superblast, my favorite daily, and i have other Asics,Hoka and Saucony shoes but just want to run in the Superblast! Only on race days i use my Vaporfly or Saucony Pro 3.
@@HobbyJoggerElite sounds awesome. Will buy a pair tmr 👍 too bad they are expensive and no discount in sight but who said life was supposed to be easy...
Yes...I weigh 160 pounds and I needed >50 miles before they started to break in and feel more flexible and softer. After 100 miles, they were perfect but I did not love them out of the box. Great now but until they broke in. Stick with them for at least 50 miles if you don't like them at first.
Great review. I busted my ankle running in plated shoes. Might give these a try when I’m back to run again. Great colors on that one, haven’t seen them in that color way
Just bought this. Took it for a 20-miler straight out of the box. Not as great as so many had claimed. The Speed 3 felt.better for now. Maybe it really needs some breaking-in miles, I don't know.
Mine felt pretty solid out of the box, but definitely not as speedy or nimble a shoe as the Speed 3. These are great for everything marathon-ish pace and slower in my training.
I can never understand the post run coffee.... surely pre run makes much more sense. to wake you up get you going to the bathroom and adding to the run
I put 400 miles on my 1st pair. Loved it so much, got a 2nd pair.

That’s awesome, and congrats on the awesome times. I’ve heard great things about the Buffalo marathon. Best of luck with your upcoming training/races!

Couldn't agree more! My favorite shoe for long runs at the moment :)

Definitely my go-to shoe for every long run so far in my marathon training the past couple weeks!

Definitely makes the Novablasts look worse when compared against one another. Loving them so far!
Superblast has been my go to long run shoe and I wore them for a Spring half marathon and plan to wear them in a Fall full marathon
Seem like a great shoe for it! Glad you’ve gotten good use out of them. I’m excited to keep logging miles in them!
I just love my Superblast, my favorite daily, and i have other Asics,Hoka and Saucony shoes but just want to run in the Superblast!
Only on race days i use my Vaporfly or Saucony Pro 3.
I can fully relate to that! It’s such an awesome shoe.
thx & greets from berlin/germany🙋♂️
Greetings!
Connor I may have similar shoe preferences to you, so I enjoy your reviews! If you could only have a rotation of 2 shoes, what would you go with?
Coincidentally, I just filmed a video based on this exact premise! It’ll be dropping soon :) Spoiler alert: this shoe might be on the list
@@HobbyJoggerElite hell yeah I’ll get the popcorn started
Great review! No break in period needed?
They felt delightful out of the box! I’m nearing 200 miles on them (about 300km) and they’re still my favorite shoe in my rotation.

How is the fit ? I have a wide ish foot
I have the Novablast 3 and wear a 9 and it is snug but good fit ! Is it the same or should i go half size up ?
I would characterize my foot as wide-ish as well and the Superblast is far more accommodating than the Novablast.
@@HobbyJoggerEliteYou went TTS?
Are they legal to use at a marathon? Great review!
No shoe is illegal unless you plan on competing at the professional level under world athletics!
@@HobbyJoggerElite definitely not planning that. Thanks for clarifying!
Thank you
Hows the stability? How does it compare to speed 3?
Definitely softer, but also wider, so
I’d say they’re more stable given the surface area of the midsole/outsole
More stable compared to ES3.
Great review. I busted my ankle running in plated shoes. Might give these a try when I’m back to run again. Great colors on that one, haven’t seen them in that color way
Sorry to hear about the ankle. Best of luck recovering, and hope you enjoy the shoe if you pick it up! 👍

A lot of people went half size down
Hello these or the noosa tri 14 are better?
100% these
I can never understand the post run coffee.... surely pre run makes much more sense. to wake you up get you going to the bathroom and adding to the run
I happily participate in the before and after :)
How are these on your calves?
Haven’t had any issues 👍
Sound of Asics 😅😂😂...people are scared 😅😅😅
