  • Which running shoes are best for me? I run about 3/weeks, mostly on paved surface, up to 20k. I finished some kiprun light shoes I was happy with but the exact model doesn’t exist anymore and I might want some more cushioning. Went into decathlon today (I live close by) but advice wasn’t v convincing and they didn’t have my size in stock. How does one find the right shoes?

  • How much do you want to spend? Then work from there. The main brands have ripped off Adidas Boost for a while now and all offer some kind of foam cushioning line for around £50 and up. I had Reebok Floatride for the last year, very cushiony.

  • I'm doing similar mileage in Pegasus 39 at the moment. The better alternatives I'm looking to change to are supposed to be Asics Novablast 3 or Puma Velocity Nitro 2. Tried the Asics on a treadmill and they are bouncy but less stable than the Pegasus, hopefully the Puma are a bit more stable.

  • just to add to Airhead ^^
    I have Pegasus 39 and Novablast 3
    They feel slightly different but I wouldn't say either feels objectively better. The Asics maybe a tad 'quicker', but nothing noticeable really. I've used both for anything from long run ~4:45/km to tempo ~3:40/km intervals. Even some track sessions when its a steady session. Don't think you'd go wrong with either, and both would be absolutely fine for a paved 20k run
