    An excellent video. I currently am running in the Hoka Mac4 and Clifton 8 and ASICS Novablast 3 as daily trainers. ASICS Evoride 2 for tempo runs and most recently a 10K race. Hoka Carbon X is my half marathon and marathon shoe. Hoka Torrent is my trail shoe and is excellent for trail races. A lot of shoes I admit, but I bought them over a 2 year period. I've found that using different daily trainers is excellent injury prevention.

    Good advice! I coach a learn to run group and many people always ask. I generally say, "walk into a store and walk for a neutral daily trainer and if the people at the store can't answer that, or stutter, walk away immediately". I've been recommending the clifton lately and tell people "if it feels slow, get the mach 4/5. If you think you need some stability then get the arahi"

    Nike React Infinity Run 3, and Saucony Triumph 19. As a heavy runner coming in at 282 lbs after much research I figured I would get some max heavy cushioned shoes with different foams in order to mix it up. Did my first 2 mile today on the Nike Invincible 2 and I felt great. For tomorrow workout, it will be the Fresh Foam V4, and so forth.

    I'm new to running (1 year): here is a consumer smart route to go - 1. watch shoe reviewers like Kofuzi, Seth Demoor, and believe in the run. They offer great insight on any shoe u may have interest in. Buy at discount, go one year older. And go with a "tweener" daily trainer that can go any distance at any speed. My wife and I BOTH went with New Balance 1080v11. AFTER a quick breaking in of the shoe. We both love them! It's my wife's only running shoe (4 miles a week) and 1/3 of my current rotation runs. Which now includes Saucony Endorphin Speed 2 and NB SC Trainer v1.

    I think it’s hard to beat the Glycerine either 19 or 20 depending on budget. New or restarting runners probably have a few extra pounds and max cushion should be a priority to help their joints ease back into running since lower leg pain is a common reason people stop after a few weeks.

    Hey Ko,
    I've been training in Brooks Adrenalines since I started marathons 10 years ago. I haven't been super thrilled with the most recent editions, so I'm considering changing it up. I raced my last marathon in the Saucony Endorphin Pros and LOVED them, so I was considering the Saucony Guide (which seems to be the closest match to Adrenalines), but I'd be going from a 12mm drop in the Adrenalines to an 8mm drop in the Guides. I'm not currently training for anything, so I'd be starting fresh, but what considerations should I make for changing drops like that? Is it a bad idea?

    • @kofuzi
      @kofuzi  Год назад

      I think people overthink changing the drops of their shoes. going from 12 to 8 will be noticeable, but won't be a problem for most people. if you think you are experiencing issues, consider finding some running routes that are softer and/or have some easy rollers until you adjust.

      Check out the rabbit (runinrabbit) offerings. Ko races in their Speedster half tights which have two stretchy side pockets capable of holding almost all phones in cases and a rear zip pocket. I race in the women's version of those, called Leggy's, and don’t experience a bounce issue at all. Lots of gels can fit into the side pockets. If you’re looking for a super light shorter short, check out their Smashem's. The waistband is essentially like a built in Nathan belt-Entirely pockets all the way around. Both of these are 3 season items so probably not available right now in the dead of winter. I know Ko also like Path Project shorts as well, which probably have plenty of pockets.

    I like the cushion of the Novablast 2 for a recovery shoe, but for me it is too heavy for daily use. I would recommend the Saucony Endorphin Speed 1 or 2 for use a daily trainer and an all-around shoe. Both these shoes are much lighter, have a good deal of cushion, can also be used for speed work and racing, and they can be found on sale for about $80. I have run up to the Half Marathon distance in the Speed. I prefer the Speed 1/2 over the Speed 3.

    Hi Kofuzi! In the last month I have developed a running habit that I am very proud of, and the vibe you send through your videos gives me even more motivation to run every day 🚀
    I would like to know what your recommendation is for an everyday shoe from Nike, considering that most of the time they will be used on asphalt 👟
    The first pair I bought was the Adidas UltraBoost Light because it seems durable enough, but I've been reading a lot about the ZoomX cushion recently and would like to give it a try 👀

    I'm looking for racing shoes to use for HIIT on the treadmill: cycles of high speed intervals followed by short recovery periods. 30 min-45 minute sessions, 3-4 times a week. I still quite haven't found what I'm looking for yet. So far I have been using the Mizuno Sayonara. They're OK, but it's not quite it. My search is still underway. FYI I'm 5,9', 155 pounds.

    Hey Kofuzi, thanks for all the good content! I'm about to run my very first marathon and I'm not currently trying to purchase a strictly marathon racing shoe. I've been training in the New Balance More V4 and the Hoka Bondi 8. I ain't trying to break any records nor run a sub 3 hr marathon, I just want to have a good running experience and finish the race. Do you believe that any of those will get me there safely? Thanks!

    • @kofuzi
      @kofuzi  Год назад +2

      I’d start with a 5 minute brisk walk, then 10x (1min jog, 1min walk). Jog as slow as possible. Then 5 minute walk to cool down.
      Then every couple of sessions, increase to 6x (2min jog, 1min walk). Then 4x (3min jog, 1min walk).
      Supreme precision isn’t required, but the idea is to learn to run easy, learn to develop of habit of running, and then eventually build up to 30mm continuous jog.

    What would you recommend for a heavier guy? 6´3, 220lbs. I took up running - not much, just to complement my weight training. I don´t have the endurance for more than a 5k yet. I figured i don´t need any fancy shoes for that, so i run in a pair of old sneakers i had laying around. But after a few weeks my knees started to hurt. Would a softer, more cushioned pair of running shoes help with that?

    If I had to choose one shoe, I'd go back to Marshalls in early 2020 and buy every pair of Adidas Solar Boost (2018 version) they had on sale for $30 and stick with that shoe. But I'm a heel striker at plodding jogging pace, and flatfoot midfoot striker at tempo pace. The Boost in the heel gets a lot of work under my feet. The only shoe I've tried in a store that appealed to me like the Solar Boost was the Saucony Triumph 20. It's on my list.
    Second choice, Nike Pegasus 39. And I probably should buy another pair or two while they're available. Not as cushy as the Solar Boost, but better all terrain outsole, a bit more midfoot padding to cushion against gravel.
    I would have picked the Under Armour Hovr Sonics as second, but UA just announced they're discontinuing the Bluetooth sensor and support for realtime feedback via the Map My Run app. That's a shame. It was a great option for new runners to establish a healthy running form and avoid injury.
    I've tried the Saucony Endorphin Pro and Speed and just didn't get along with them. Hated the Adidas SL20 - upper and fit were great, Lightstrike is an abomination. Atreyu base model was too wide for my narrow feet. Adidas Adizero Prime knit is okay on pavement or track but the Boost midsole is too thin for most longer runs.
    Hoka Mach 4 was oh-kay but nothing special. Ditto Brooks Ghost 15 - meh, don't see the appeal.
    Saucony Guide 15 was annoying, but I don't need an aggressively supportive stability shoe.
