I am 60 and slow.. I used to be able to run maximum 30 miles a week before braking up.. Now I run mostly in Supershoes (Adidas Pro 3, Mizuno Wave Rebellion Pro V1, New Balance SC elite V3, Endorphin Pro 3) and I easily run 50 miles per week without any issues. Of course my avarage pace went up as well.
Hello DOR! My name is Justin and I am super excited for the release of the New Balance Fresh Foam X Balos, Topo Athletics Specter 2, as well as the New Balance Fuelcell Supercomp Pacer v2!!!
I'm a Physical Therapist who treats runners and really enjoy your podcasts. I'm excited about the TOPO brand. Recently switched to them for daily use in the clinic, road running and trail running and pretty sure I'll never go back to Brooks or New Balance. Thanks for all you do.
Love all that guys do for the running community. Thank you for taking time out of your busy days to share some knowledge! You deserve way more than 19k followers!
This was a great episode, and I loved hearing yall theorize because it left a lot of good things to consider. I think it would be interesting to hear you talk about the different level of compliance in Superfoams (ZoomX, LS Pro, PWRRun HG and PB, etc) and how certain running forms may benefit from the different levels of compliance
Would love to hear you talk more about recommendations for those with posterior tibial tendon issues! Loved your post online and would love to hear your discussion!
I’m grateful for all your analysis on these shoes and how they can be used as tools in training as well as how different types of athletes could benefit from the shoes. The worst part is the only way we can figure out which shoe works for our specific mechanics is to buy them. So, local running stores should send you their love.
As a runner getting back into the sport after a long layoff, and someone who's surfed the various trends in shoe design, I'm intrigued by the Topo line, and the Cyclone 2. Ran the very first Brooks shoe, the Nike waffle trainer, original Pegasus, the handful of zero-drops, and now the new foams. Age making me be more careful, but still on the road! Enjoying the site greatly.
I ran 30:40 and 14:43 on the track back in the early 80's. I always used spikes in 5ks. In 10's, I wore spikes on the softer tracks and flats on the harder ones because the pounding adds up over 25 laps, which made the slight extra weight worthwhile. Traction wasn't really a major issue unless the track was wet. With the far more cushioned modern spikes, I would likely always choose them vs a flat (if I was still 24!).
My thought is the super shoe is doing more of the work where in a regular flat where your body has to do more of the work. Using a more hybrid approach where you are training in a regular shoe with a supplement of a super shoe I think the athlete will get a better adaptation in training.
Loving your content, especially appreciate when you address the middle and back of packers 🤠 also grand masters runners - our strength and training needs, any other considerations. I greatly appreciate DOR for your intelligent and science-based reviews and commentary.
Love the episode, excited about the giveaways too, of course! I'm more into the super trainers and road shoes than spikes, so I'm looking forward to a race or two in the Superblasts
Great content. I haven’t done well with the new softer foams, and my choices are getting fewer. I’ve done some training in the newer foams and super shoes, and have been struggling to stay injury free.
Great video. I wish they made supershoes wider. I loved the asics metaspeed edge for the first 5k, actually got a pb without tryining, but couldn't even finish a half marathon. Love the contest.
Would love to hear more how you guys recover from runs, or more tips to help people get started on running. And also your thoughts on various other running gears other than shoes. It was helpful to hear your thoughts on clothes good for running and other things.
Talking about super shoes and training and the effects. I think you answered the question later in the video. It comes down to stimulus and rest. Super shoes allow you to not be as beat up thus your rest should technically be better allowing for greater stimulus. Not matter the paces.
I agree. The newest shoes are giving us the capacity to run longer distances. I’ve noticed a big difference in shoe quality over the years for long distance runs. Less pain
Actually, one of the most interesting comment of this week's podcast was about the double workout days. The DoR might consider a longer discussion or even having some guest discussing this topic at greater length.
Love the content. Very interesting point that you guys Brought up about how super shoes are helping with new record in the longer distance races. Really enjoy hearing you guys.
Super pumped for the new Mach 6 from Hoka. I went through two pair of 5’s and my only complaint was durability. Hoping the 6 lasts longer than 250/300 miles…you guys rock and I’d love to know more about your diets. With so many different approaches to running nutrition, I’d love to know more about what you guys do to stay fueled, motivated, and relatively consistent/injury free.
Your videos are always a must watch. I'm looking forward to a track series of races in Charlotte this summer so this video is well timed. Still have my sprinting spikes from college 20+ years ago but i should probably upgrade. Also looking forward to Saucony Tempus 2 whenever they come out.
Appreciate your video's and information. I mainly run for enjoyment, with some performance improvement mixed in over time. I didn't start running until I was 49, so not seeing myself getting into spikes and enjoy a nice cushion running shoe. The Superblast is my "super" shoe, I'm surprised there isn't more competition to it in the marketplace (non-plated), I am hoping maybe the specter 2 will be comparable. Anyway, cheers and great job team
I enjoy and value this site for honest information on all running issues and evaluations. I look forward to all the help you offer us . I do love the Saucony Speed 4's. What a awesome upgrade !
Love the content and the format- I don’t listen to podcasts prefer to watch. Never tried super shoes and softer foams caused me injury, but this gives me something to think about. Would still like to hear about shoe rotations,
Hey DOR, love the super shoe deep dive! I love running in plated shoes all the time and they great, but I'm worried I might be risking longer term weaknesses or imbalances. Anyways, I'm excited for a Rocket X2 replacement. Love those shoes for shorter races and think they could fix a few kinks and be amazing.
Weekly podcast listener. Daily Trainer for larger runners, not a slim 200lb but a husky 250lb. And you are correct Soft cushion is not always your friend. Thanks love the podcast. Enter me in contest as well 😃
Great insights on training in super shoes. I personally feel training with them have saved my legs in a high mileage training block and made it easier for the run next day.
Appreciate your work here. I somehow angered my left knee running on snow and ice in January (not my first winter run rodeo). It’s coming back around after time off and PT. Not sure if you have heard of this before but I swear a pair of heavy running tights with a wind panel set the whole thing off. I’ve dialed back my shoe rotation to just three pairs 😅
Great episode! As a non-super fast runner I’ve found your videos on super shoes for normals very useful to help me understand which are worth me trying out.
I have an about 50 miles in my speed 4s, and I’m I feel like I’m just figuring out how to get the best out of them. The started out feeling firmer than I expected them to be.
I'd be interested in the episode that you were planning to do about shoe rotations, categories in the rotations, shoes from the same brand in a rotation, shoes from different brands, etc. I'm excited to try the ASICS Metaspeed Edge Paris.
Please enter me in the RW contest! Love your videos and podcast!! No need for spikes for me these days, but hoping the new ASICS Metaspeed Paris will be a good fit for me!!
I put about 300 miles in the Superblast and looking forward to version 2. I had to retire them because I realized they gave me blisters on the very end of toes. I'm hoping Superblast V2 will help with that.
Excited for the NB More V5 this summer and would love to hear a pod about dual density midsoles and how the placement (paired with each foams characteristics) impacts the shoes holistic ride. For instance, while many dual density setups use a firmer foam on the roadside (peg turbo, mach 4 & 5), shoes like the Endorphin Elite (to the best of my knowledge) use a firmer, more responsive formula of pwrrun HG closer to the foot and that is only looking at dual density midsoles that are sandwich style.
Excited to hear about the hoka Mach 6! I have ran through 2 pairs of the Mach 5 that have been great for me and am curious of the differences in the 6!
