  • Have to say I love the carbon xs and I haven’t noticed the weird heels on them.

    Good track session this evening doing km reps, pleased with a 3:35 8th and final rep, 9 weeks to the marathon..!

  • I'd like to give the carbon x's a go. How do you find the sizing? You have the same asics piranhas that i put up a couple of weeks ago. 1/2 size up from those? I've gone 1/2 a size up in my speed goats and they're still a bit short. Strong reps today btw 💪

  • I’m fairly consistently a euro 44 and that holds true for the hokas. That includes ASICS, saucony and altra. I use euro as looking in the altras at least they claim to be a Uk 9...

    Onto my second pair of the spe versions and they’d be my choice for triathlon as the upper is one piece, and about 100k into the v2 x’s which I think I like even more as the upper feels less flexy and is more connected to the foot. The separate tounge would make them a no no for normal distance Tri though as you’d have to fish it out after putting them on..

    Like Phil, I find hoka cushioning to be a firmer ride which is better for my feet, as they begin to hurt quite quickly if I get stampy so I get less injuries, the Nikes are lovely but i suspect if I did any volume in there I’d have a Morton’s neuroma flair up within a couple of weeks..
