  • What's the current hotness for running shoes that will mainly do 5 and 10k runs on tarmac?

    Possibly a weekly half marathon if I can get my distance up without knackering something.

    I've been running in Adidas Solar Boost for years, but it looks like they're old-hat now.

  • Will you specifically do those distances? Seems a curious thing that happens quite a lot in running and I never get it. Like if cyclists only did rides that are the length of time trials

  • I love the Nike Vaporfly - I think they're a great all rounder. The Invincible run is what I pair these with and that would also suit your need (if comfortable).

    In adidas, then something like the adizero adios pro 2/3

    Hoka clifton, Saucony Endorphin are two which I see a lot of people in as a similar all rounder trainer

  • Last 10k I did was a load of fluorescent Nike at the front. Vaporflys I guess? I always like UltraBoost and heard good stuff about Hoka.

  • Nike Alpha fly/streak fly - I discount the Vaporfly as while they’re very nice the soles don’t last at all. Nikes returns policy is very good too (as long as you buy direct from Nike), I had a pair of alphaflys that got a puncture last week after about 180k, walked into Nike and got an instant refund, would have had a replacement if they had any at the same price but not wanting to spend an extra 150 on alphaflys 2s at the moment.

    Not much tops these two across a wide range of speeds and distances for me.

    If running really hard the ASICS metaspeed sky is top choice for me, but for me that’s <3:45 per km that they are really amazing and they seem to stall at slower spees for my mid foot gait.
