I lost it at 11:49. Boss Jogg always keeps us guessing with what he'll say next. 😂You got me thinking about the Skyflow for winter base building. But first I need to get some miles on my spankin-white Diadora Atomo V7000.
Went to my local running shop today and bought the Skyward X. I saw the Glycerin Max and tried it on as well.... dang it felt great. I was set in my head on the Skyward X so that's what I took home as it had just a little more bounce.... but I have a feeling that Glycerin Max will make it's way home sooner than later. I was looking for a Max stack long run shoe that was cushioned but supportive. I think the Hoka's bounce sold me but the Glycerin felt smooth. First miles in the Skyward were amazing so no complaints at all.
Right now I find myself reaching for my SB2s mostly. I use my NB4s on days I want to give them a rest, and my Adizero SL2s on days when I want something lighter and more fun. I'm on an HR restriction until I get a heart issue treated so I'm not doing anything very intense, just a lot of walking and a little very relaxed warmup level jogging, so my plated shoes are mostly staying in the closet for now.
I totally agree with you. I have all the shoes you highlight in this video with the exception of the hoka skyflow. And puma magmax is also my "superblast" 👌😃I really love the 4 running shoes but puma magmax and nimbus 26 are definitely my favorites🔥😍
Have about 100km in the GMax so far. Huge fan. Use it for my Sunday long runs. Now I’m looking to find a shoe that I can use for the more uptempo workouts and daily miles that will give me a bit more ground feel etc but is still somewhat protective. Struggling to decide on which shoe can slot into this. Sounds like maybe the Skyflow?
Another BANGER. I picked up the Balos for a super steal, any recommendations to pair with it? I'm not sure if it would be redundant to add the MagMax or Glycerin Max? Currently the Balos my only shoe. Looking to buiild up my base and do my first half-marathon next year. Thanks Yowana!
Love the 1080, new balance get the gate between lace holes in the perfect zone for effortless lockdown. The reason why I'd be selling the Glycerin Max is that it's not comfortable, the upper is awful and the midsole has less flex than the stiffest carbon racer, you either lace it up so it's comfortable and spend the entire run slipping forward in the shoe, or to avoid that tie it so tight it's extremely uncomfortable it just hurts my feet either way.
@@chrisgg not tried the novablast, the Glycerin is just too rigid, the rocker is only on the outsole/midsole and flat on the top/insole so they just become a shute for your feet as they constantly slide into the front.
I'm not sure that it's firm, I feel like it does squish but because it doesn't bend or flex at all because it's rigid as a block of steel, it makes it feel really firm, great for protecting your legs...and destroying your feet. It's in the "worst shoe I've ever bought" category for me, not comfortable, really bad upper. Maybe heavier peeps with bigger shoe sizes make it work, but size 8, 58kg it's like running on a brick with sponge under it.
I've been using and enjoying them both but for true recovery most people will likely prefer the glideride. It's softer and bouncier than the nimbus with less groundfeel. My personal preference right now is the nimbus because im liking the former structure of the heel and overall platform, but for soft recovery the glideride is the better pick
A daily trainer is a shoe that you can do all your runs in, from racing to long runs. It's also durable to be able to handle all those runs. It won't be the ideal shoe for most specific types of runs, but it is a reasonable compromise. Newer shoe designs have increased the versatility of shoes, so a lot of daily trainers have become better at more specific uses than in the past. There are also "do it all" shoes like the Superblast and various super trainers, but they also have a super price, so they are often excluded from the class of daily trainers for that reason. If you stick to the price range of traditional daily trainers, around $140, there are two notable groups of modern daily trainers. There are those that have focused on being better at fast running, like New Balance Rebel and Hoka Mach 6, and those that have focused on being better at longer running, like ASIC Novablast.
Ive done ~200 miles on the 1080v13, pretty happy so far. One thing I've never understood is if you can comment on what the lifetime is on some of these shoes? How many miles do you typically put into your shoes before you retire them for good?
I forgot to mention this in the video but I've mainly been running in shoes that have come out in the back half of the year. Skyward X is still great but my rotation right now is mainly the newer shoes (plus 1080 for casual use)
