100 AND OUT?! Saucony Endorphin Elite Review After 100 Miles - welcome back to another video and today I am sharing with you my saucony endorphin elite review after 100 miles. This is a shoe that has been absolutely stellar when it comes to races throughout 2023 and into 2024, but has it got any life left in it now that its gone over 100 miles?
How many miles do you have in your saucony endorphin elite?

Good video and I love my elites too 😁 one thing I would say though is the titles and thumbnails are starting to feel a bit like clickbait - implying these shoes might be done after 100 miles just to say “there’s no signs of deterioration” feels odd, same happened with the Speed 4 review so I don’t really trust the titles and I’ll be honest, it makes me want to click the video less Maybe I’m in the minority and I know it’s for the RU-vid algorithm but hey, thought you might like some honest feedback!

@TimGrose Месяц назад

On a similar theme, for me there is a feeling that do I really want to say race my next target goal marathon in a fairly well used shoe for as much mental reasons as anything. I think unless you have a second brand new pair it can be hard to be sure if there really is any difference. I guess also you can have a series of videos on this 100 mile verdict and recall a fair few that Andy stopped using thereafter. Here I think we had enough clues from the Hereford 5K vid whether this shoe was a keeper.

@BamainMn Месяц назад

@@TimGrose very good point. I had a pair of VF Next % which performed nicely on a workout at 140 mi then put on a new pair that I picked up on sale for the last repeat out of curiosity … it shouldn’t have been surprising, but I was taken aback at the marked difference in performance. But was it enough to shelve the old pair for racing in favor of the new? Of course it was, but only because I had two. Otherwise the other pair at the time still felt good enough to work. So it just comes down to perception.

@TheFODRunner Месяц назад

Absolutely fair comment, appreciate the honesty! I did blur the heel out where it’s scuffed up quite a bit and looks a bit worse for wear… so I was focusing in on that bit… but overall, yes I aim to make my thumbnails honest “focused in on the heel” but also with a hint of drama to entice people to click… I find it works well, I’m sorry this one and the speed one misled you, my apologies 👊

@DJC_Fitness Месяц назад

@@TheFODRunner all good! I’ll be right there with you looking out for sales of the v1, I’d love a pair of that green colourway

@SharaRuns Месяц назад

High praise indeed. Glad you've found a shoe that works so well for you.

@TheFODRunner Месяц назад

Thanks!

@RoshanFernandez-md5cf Месяц назад

Great vlog 🙌🏽. I ran 7 marathons in 7 days recently in an older pair of Endorphin speed 3s and then retired them sadly. (Still walk about in them though 🥳). I never have a specific mileage to retire my super shoes like the AFs but gone by feel. I’m still training in some OLD Alphafly 1s, they’ve done well, over 400miles.

@wordsovsean8905 Месяц назад

They're my wife's favourite race shoe for every distance too. She has about the same wear as you and I'd say she's run a reletively similar distance. She's just picked up another pair on sale too. She went through 2 pairs of Endorphin Pro 3s before these became her go to racers. She still thinks the Pro 3s are great too, but is disappointed by the Pro 4 so far, at least from a performance perspective.

@TheFODRunner Месяц назад

Me and your wife are on the same wavelength… pro 3 were great… 4, now I’ve raced in them are slightly underwhelming… elites are number 1

@robin29991 Месяц назад

Very excited about version 2 as well. Looks like they simplified the upper by removing the strange bands around the heel and under the laces. The upper did the job but if they can somehow save some weight that would be amazing.

@TheFODRunner Месяц назад

Ah it would be incredible if it’s even lighter… I really hope they haven’t messed it up!

@toddboucher3302 Месяц назад

I tried those, but they were just at a demo day so it was like on our treadmill and it was hard to tell any difference for me now one thing you said that I love is when the next generation comes out and if they haven’t changed a lot you can still buy that old version for like ridiculous. One of my favorite trail shoes Saucony peregrine 13, in the us it was $140. Well the 14 came out and I talked to some demo rep and everything like that and they said there’s really no difference except for a little bit of stuff on the upper in the 14th. I said went to Amazon bought the 13 for about half price probably should’ve bought more pairs and they still have them for that price so I guess I still can but they last a long time soso this is great. I always wait till the following year and the shoes still good and if they haven’t changed the world it’s a great deal.

@luciannealbrecht190 Месяц назад

Thanks Andy - don’t know why but haven’t used mine for months - you’ve inspired me to give them a go again as the first time time I used them they felt very different to the usual Saucony lineup. Perhaps they just take a few more miles than normal to forget about them on your feet. Can’t wait 😊

@TheFODRunner Месяц назад

Awesome, dig them back out and give them another run or 2 👊

@Manuel_712 Месяц назад

Good morning. Interesting reflection. Like to Andy. A nice weekend for everyone.

@michaelcaricoo Месяц назад

Really like these, only have 60 miles of running (hard runs but still), upper is great, exposed midsole is shredded though

@jameskillilea1983 Месяц назад

I got a pair in the new colour way a few months ago and they’re class looking. I’ve only raced a 10k and 5k in them. I did two PB’s in them. I’m a little nervous racing a half in them because they’re harder on the feet than Nike runners. They’re a highly aggressive shoe and the tip forward effect has me worried about injuries if the distance is too far in them. One thing that can’t be denied is the speed factor from them. I’ve a fast HM in August I’ll try them out and if I can avoid blisters in them I’ll wear them for Valencia in December.

@TheFODRunner Месяц назад

Yeah they are aggressive… and when you get rolling in them you just can’t stop! Hope they serve you well in August for the half!

@ryanmedland2549 Месяц назад

Really enjoyed this video 👌 I have 145 miles in mine and you’re spot on about heel strikers, mine are chewed up and I’ve taken a few millimetres of stack off the exposed foam. I’ve loved them so I’ll keep them for shorter distances in the future. I don’t think I could take them beyond a half marathon though, have raced two half marathons in them and I feel that the aggressiveness suits shorter distances for me. I heard that the Elite 2’s are a lot softer, some testers have been able to do some easy runs in them! Will be curious when they’re supposed to launch 🤔

@TheFODRunner Месяц назад

Oh interesting, I’ll need to try and find some of those testing reviews, I’m very keen to get more info on v2!

@ryanmedland2549 Месяц назад

@@TheFODRunner in Kofuzi’s video with Parker Stinson they talk about the endorphin elite 2 from 15:30 onwards for a minute or two, Parker shares some key bits of info. I picked up mine pair of v1’s from Vinted, someone won them in a competition and didn’t want them, got them for £140 and I just bought a pair for my wife from eBay for £43! The seller had ran 30 miles in them and didn’t like them, might be worth setting up some alerts for your size on those sites, see if you can fetch a bargain backup pair

@TheFODRunner Месяц назад

@@ryanmedland2549 thanks for sharing that, I’ll hunt down that video and have a watch!

@davidmoore6760 Месяц назад

I have 181k so 112miles in mine. I have similar wear to your pair, they still feel good and I will be running a marathon in them tomorrow. For me they might be best at the half marathon distance as I can not run fast enough over the full to get the best out of them. For reference my marathon and half pbs are in this shoe and are 1:24 for the half and 3:15 for the full.

@TheFODRunner Месяц назад

Best of luck tomorrow for the marathon 👊 great times there, hope you grab a PB tomorrow!

@timtrenholm3698 Месяц назад

Assuming the half PB is the new one, and the full older. That half time translates to a huge marathon PB. My half pb is 1:35 (Sept 2023) and marathon 3:16 (may 2024). With my A goal this summer/fall is sub 90min half, which will be a stretch. Good-luck in your race!

@swenderich Месяц назад

High praise! I am considering lacing them up for my next marathon, but want to do some long run testing first. How are they on hilly courses?

@TheFODRunner Месяц назад

Yeah they’re fantastic, nothing they can’t do!

@swenderich Месяц назад

@@TheFODRunner thanks!

@chrisnicholls8815 26 дней назад

Mine are on 73 miles of racing since March. I wore them chasing you down at Dymock (didn't help 😂). But they are breaking PBs in every race for me. Roll on Gloster 10k.

@TheFODRunner 25 дней назад

Awesome!! Plenty more life left in them then 😉 👊

@kentm7731 Месяц назад

Strictly for racing, I’ve had 2 marathons on them and hold my marathon PR in them. That said, my 2nd marathon was a rainy one and these diverted my focus away from the run and towards not slipping on toe-off. Specifically on painted pavement or smoother concrete. Otherwise, great shoe and still in use for races. The midsole also helps shorten my post-marathon recovery time and keeps me functional the hours and days post-marathon.

@TheFODRunner Месяц назад

Amazing to hear!

@edrios3668 12 дней назад

Great Video! Thoughts on these as a Marathon shoe, I need to get a good time in Chicago and I'm tempted by these, but everyone keeps saying not for a Marathon as they are firm and over 26 miles they would become very uncomfortable. In terms of comfort how do they compare with the AF3, I'm a forefoot striker looking to run sub 2:55 in Chicago.

@TheFODRunner 12 дней назад

I swear by them… I used them for my marathon and loved them…. But yes they’re firmer than the AF3… you’ll load the pods with good force if you’re a forefoot striker so if you prefer something a bit softer then the AF3 would be better

@timtrenholm3698 Месяц назад

I've been looking for a faster race option to pair with my AF V3, while I find the AF V3 handles all distances, it does seem a bit too much for 5/10k. Tempted to try the Asics Metaspeed Paris line, since I seem to get along really well with Asics. But the Endo Elite has always intrigued me with the different heel cup design they are using, which would probably solve all the heel lift issues I get with Saucony. As much as I have loved the AF line, I did experience alot of heel wear from times I fatigued in races/training. The AF V1/2 at 220km have very clear heel wear, where the rubber pads didn't line up well with my foot strikes. But the AF V3 at 120 KMs are nearly zero wear on the outsole. And I'm trying to force myself to use this same pair for fall marathon, and then reassess.

@TheFODRunner Месяц назад

I’m pretty sure you won’t get the heel lift issue in these as you do with other sauconys… the heel counter with the padding gives it a totally different feel 👊

@JohnBirtchetSharpe Месяц назад

I have 24 miles on mine (white and gold) I have not raced, just tried them out on a a long run and intervals. While I am heavy on shoes these are pretty much box fresh, I was waiting to finsh 300_ miles in my last pair of pro 3's before using the elite's in anger . They will get their first outing next Sunday at at the Freckleton Half Marathon in Lancs, and I plan to wear them for Cardiff in the autumn .. perhaps the south ribble 10k at Christmas? depending on conditions .

@TheFODRunner Месяц назад

Amazing, best of luck in them Sunday, I really can’t recommend them highly enough!

@TimGrose Месяц назад

Novel these days to actually use a race shoe for racing :) Clearly works very well for you. I did a parkrun in mine and went well enough but still prefer my Vaporfly 1s but certainly prefer the Elite to the AF3. Did think with the Eliite need to be “on it” so wonder how they would be for a marathon although recall is the marathon shoe of choice for @FilmMyRun

@TheFODRunner Месяц назад

I know, right? Often so many are used for training, like my adidas pro 3 right now… I didn’t like them to race in but for training they’re great 👊

@TimGrose Месяц назад

@@TheFODRunner yeh ditto on the AP3 but recall they are a bit short for you which isn't going to help one bit especially longer than 10K. They are also noticeably heavier for us. Elite is quite decent for weight. Looking at my chart about 15g less than the AP3 and 20g less than the AF3. Still about 15g more than the VF3 but clearly the ride compensates. VF3 bit softer feel.

@peterkisidaj9329 Месяц назад

Hi Andy, hm I'm really thinking to buy a pair. I've seen that they're stiff, but maybe it's not so terrible as it was compared with AF V3. But, looks they're not comparable indeed, AF V3 are better for HM and marathon, and Elites are the best for 5K to10K distances. I'm a bit hesitating as I also like brande new Asics Metaspeed Sky Paris, so to buy 2 pretty expensive shoes, tjough Asics PAris have great price for racing shoe for €250. But, elites are now on my wish list at the first place together with MEtaspeed Sky Paris. Thanks a lot Andy!

@TheFODRunner Месяц назад

I think you’ll be able to get the elites on a good discount soon with v2 on the horizon 👀
