Phase 1: get one comfortable shoe for everything
Phase 2: add a trail specific shoe
Phase 3: add a long run shoe
Phase 4: add a faster shoe
Currently only at phase 2; saving money for phase 3
VegetablesGoOff phase 1,3-4 can all be trail shoes 😁👍🏼🍻
@@jkzv1 I wish! Much prefer trails, but I often take my son with me in a pusher thingo which can't handle most trails around here
Nice, like the strategy!
1. I have 2 very comfortable running shoes, of which I use 1 because I don’t want to wreck them both (or, another possibility, they are the same model and I prefer the purple pair to the grey so I wear them more and it has nothing to do with preserving a pair for a future competition).
2. I already have a hiking shoe. To much. Not enough cushioning, too stiff. Does protect very well through. No specific trail running shoe. And I don’t foresee needing one.
3. I can’t run long distances yet, I don’t need a long run shoe. This step for me would be a good specific shoe for my fallen arches - I over pronate also. My poor big toe. My poor knees and ankles. Current shoes are UltraBoost ST, I like to think the added inside edge stability is helping me.
4. Faster shoe...I guess. I mean, when I get there. Right now though I’m more focused on comfort. Not gonna spend $400 on a carbon fiber shoe....
@@amyx231 I hear you on the cost. I'm at stage 3, but also not far from needing to replace stage 1. Looking at the Clifton 1 which is very cheap in my country at the moment (less than half the price of a Clifton 6)
All the best to you in the challenging times 👍
This helps to explain why I have 12 running shoes and might need more. Thanks!
WOW this was an excellent video Seth! so knowledgable and your desire to share and care is great, a real credit to this running community. I've just bough the Adidas Adios 5 to bring into my rotation, I just did a first impressions video, I really really like them!
Don't forget to Support your Local running store!
RunTravelAdventure4fun I have a video coming out on Friday about your comment. I had to make a video because it’s such a novelty to actually go to the store to buy shoes nowadays!
LRS!!!
I always would, but they went out of business anyway :(
Shout out to Red Coyote and Ok Runner
QOD:
- 1 regular, midddle distance run that you can definitely use for everything
- 2 recovery day shoe, height stack height, plush and easy on the legs
-3 Long run shoe that’s super nice for those long miles
-4 fast day shoe that you can use for workouts and races.
- these are the fundamentals and everything else kinda is fluff but i think goes into these categories
i have one pair of shoes. and i run in them for every single run and they are also my everyday shoes. i would enjoy another pair but i don’t complain 🙂
Yes! Ever since I subscribed I started rotating my shoes, although my wife was a bit mad for buying so many shoes. But after I explained it she understood. Love the info!
Josh Sylvester Yeah, it seems counterintuitive, but rotting shoes actually saves money, until you start rotating so many shoes that you can possibly run in all of them. 🤣
My wife has been mad at me for 40 years for the number of running shoes I have, so don't feel bad
For years I only had one pair until it wore down, then replaced them. As of right now I have 5 pairs active. When you put 200 miles a month on shoes you really are asking for problems using one pair at a time. Waiting for shipping or back orders some times screws you also.
you absolutely nailed the rincon review - i've used this shoe for marathons, tempo days, intervals and easy days. absolutely love it.
Are the Clinton's as versatile? I heard the Rincon's do not have durable outsoles.
QoD: Tempo and Threshold can be done in the same shoe for me. Easy and middle distance runs can be done in the same shoe. Then a shoe for long runs (16+miles) and a shoe for racing.
QoD. Usually have two shoes, old and new. New shoes are used for 500km (300mil) for tempo and race. Old shoes are used for easy long runs for the NEXT 500km. So each shoes goes approx 1000km. Great vid!
Buy them, then hide them so the wife doesn’t see 😂😂 my car is my shoedio!!!
When I get a new pair, I don't ship to my home address. Right now 3 pairs at the office xD
@@JavierISampedroTNF 😂😂😂😂😂
Paul Sparkes I did the same for my last shoe purchase ....hoka carbon x.
I have lots of shoes. Fashion shoes. Lol.
I wreck midsoles fast, cause I’m a heavier girl with fallen arches, severe over-pronation, and horrible running habits and a tendency to scuff the toes on stuff. Plus I work on my feet all day. Shoes last me 2-6 months, with max 4x/week use. When used 4x/week, shoes are goners before 1/4 the year is done. Even $100 sneakers only last me max 6 months - at the end of which I had 3 sets of insoles in them and knee and back pain again.
...anyone who can tell me what to do, please tell me. I’m resisting the call of custom orthotics, by using otc insoles. I have my favorites that work better than others.
@@amyx231 hey amy . no other choice than a Custom orthotics insole . better for you an you will finally save money
I need to work on my shoe rotation badly! Big thanks for sharing that run type too-big help
Awesome and timely video Seth. I'm actually in the process of overhauling my running shoes collection for 2020. I am also into my 9th Day of my 15 Days Running Challenge here in Sunny Singapore (South East Asia) and it has been interesting and fun so far. Your video is just perfect timing for me personally. Keep up the great content SJD!!!
Also in Singapore but also frustrated at the limited choices you get here! Had shop assistants in major Adidas and New Balance stores look at me like I’m crazy when I’ve asked if they have the Adios Boston 8 or the FuelCell Rebel!
@@deancollins6933 Yeah, I don't get it either. That's why I get the latest versions whenever I travel or shop online. It takes them a couple of months to stock up in Singapore. Goodluck!
@@sentosarunner3538 Here in mauritus is even worse (+__+)
2 or 3 shoes in rotation is max I can afford, and I can not afford new recently developed shoes so I only buy new shoes that are 1 or 2 years old. Simply Google the shoe and buy the best deal whoever is selling them. Right now: ASICS 1000-7 $35-$45 (reg. $90);Brooks Adrenaline $55 (reg. $120); ASICS gel Flux $35 (reg. $90) are in my rotation now. Ideally I will have a very light weight 6oz. Racing flat in the mix as well, when I'm racing a lot, which I'm not right now. This works for me.
Which shoe is for which run?
Yours sounds like an affordable way to keep several shoes in rotation without breaking the bank! The last year’s model is usually what I go for because the deals are too good to miss!
@@banhongang7818 I mainly race 5ks so my long run is not much more then 12 miles and the Brooks Adrenaline can easily handle that and more. The ASICS GT 1000s are more responsive so I do most of my Tempo, Cruise intervals, and fartlek type runs in those (no more than 8 miles), the ASICS Gel Flux have a lot of gel in the heal for great shock absorption so I usually use those for easy recovery runs (anywhere from 4 to 6 miles). I have a slight over pronation so all three of those shoes are pretty stable, especially the Brooks Adrenaline.
I will be keeping an eye out for a light weight trainer, or racing flat to get those track intervals in come spring.
I have done today 44km in the Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo 2 and I still feel I can run tomorrow!!! Amazing shoes!!!
QOD: I definitely love multi-use shoes! Recovery & easy days: Rotate between New Balance 1080v10, Nike Turbo 1, & Hoka Rincon. Speed workout days: Nike Zoom Fly 3 for longer workouts, Nike Turbo 2 for shorter ones. Long Runs: Nike Zoom Fly 3. Race: Nike Zoom Fly 3 or Hoka Carbon X (Just got the Carbon X and ran a Half in them last weekend).
QD: As a high school runner, I like to get a pair of nike pegasus's or another stylish shoe that I can wear to school and do mid distance and easy runs in. Then I would reccomend getting a daily trainer for putting a lot of your long run miles in(Clifton for me) And then I have a light weight, responsive trainer such as a kinvara that I can do tempos intervals and race on the roads in.
Great video. The Nike Turbo remains one of my most versatile shoes.
Old Tanker it is!!!!
Awesome stuff! I need to add a good trail shoe to my rotation. I live in the north east and we have been having an unusually warm and dry winter, so I've been hitting more combinations of pavement and trails on the same run. As spring gets closer, I see myself spending more time in our beautiful New York forests. My current rotation has been clifton 6, skechers go run ride 7, and hoka rincon. I've been finding the rincons doing the best in light snow. They seem to pick up just enough snow on the sole to create kind of like a "velcro" effect like a snow tire. Anything deeper or ice, leaves me second guessing every step! I just got into running October 2018. I can say, to touch on the things that you mentioned in the beginning of the video about having things to help you're running experience. Just start running. I have found that by just running and running and running, you will both figure out what you'd like to have to better your time and every time a holiday or birthday comes up, I find loved ones, asking if I need anything or just asking if I need anything for running. I find that your loved ones will be so supportive of you getting out there, that A lot of things/gadgets, will come as you run more and get further into the sport. Thanks for all of the great info!
QD: I really struggle building up my running shoe rotation because of the price tags. I started off with a stability shoe, Asics Gel Kayano 25, that was pretty expensive, so I couldn`t afford another pair of shoes before those were done. Now I just bought myself a Pegasus 35 because it was so cheap, and I think it`s a nice shoe. But I won`t be able to run as far in them as in the Asics. So now I have to get more different pairs of cheap daily trainers, fulfilling different purposes. So thanks for the Video Seth, great info. I thankfully got a pair of speedcross 5 gtx gifted from my parents, which opened up running all those muddy trails around where I live so I can change up my runs quite a bit already with only 2 pairs of shoes in rotation. Have a nice day Seth.
Beardsson Two pairs are what I usually rotate for my daily road runs and I usually buy shoes a year or so old, so I can snag them at a deal. I actually made a video recently on my shoe rotation.
I don’t run trails often and have had the same pair of trail shoes for 3 years!
@@its_Matt_B_ That`s exactly what I'm trying to do. Thank you, I'll look into your videos.
QD: I basiclly only have 2 shoes: 1 for easy and long runs. 1 for tempo/intervall/race.
More structured training this year and racing, so will be aquiering a intervall/racing shoe as well.
And what shoe you are actually looking to acquire for your interval training?
@@mayureshkoli5695 I bought the Brooks Hyperion Elite. It was that or Endorphin Speed, but Elite felt a bit better on the foot. Didn't try that many shoes as it was within the range of what I was looking for and a bit more durable than say next %. Have also been using the old Adidas SL20for interval training, and liking them a lot.
I am in a run/walk streak so I have 3 running shoes for road and two walking shoes. That way regardless of which I do, I have a trade out shoe. I also have two trail shoes one pair is aggressive. The other you would call commuters.
To keep costs under control I use Joe's, RRS, and tent sales at my local store..... at least once a year I buy a full price pair from the local guy as well...... building this rotation was not cheap but I notice the foam recovery is outstanding
Absolutely, without doubt the best video on this topic by a country mile! New sub here!
Would love to see more reviews from the Saucony line. Many reviewers have been enjoying the freedom 3 and triumph 17

Another very helpful video for a newbie runner like me! Great video Seth! Thanks and we love you! 🤗
EXCELLENT 🙌🏼🙌🏼 So glad it’s helping.
Seth this is the first time when I talk about things that you probably know. I don't know about anyone else but I run all runs only in my one part of shoes .
Started out with just 1 shoe for everything. But then RUclips (Seth and Jamison Michael) happened. I now have two pairs that I use for different purposes:
1. Hoka One One Clifton 6 - Long runs. Love the cushioning!
2. New Balance Fuel Cell Rebel - Fast runs. Love the response!
My shoe rotation is as follows (currently)...Trails and Snow....Hoka Challenger 3, NORMAL everyday runs Hoka Clifton 3 or 5, Steady State Runs...Hoka Carbon X, Races...Nike Vapor Fly 4% Flyknit or Nike Vapor Fly Next %. I TOTALLY agree, when running in SNOW...trail shoes are the best. Thanks for your videos and hard work. I look forward to you videos most every day!

QD: I started running local 5Ks and my weekly mileage was only 5-10 miles a week so I mostly used one pair runs all mantra (Merrell Trail Gloves). Now I focus more on increasing my 5/10K speed and throw in half marathons. As I went along I filled in my shoes as follows:
1st: Starter shoe (Merrell Trail Glove, it works for roads and well packed trails as well as not being too bulky)
2nd: more cushy shoe for long/easy runs
3rd: Faster lower weight, firm, responsive shoe for racing but not quite a true racing shoe
4th: 2nd pair of cushy shoes to alternate long/easy shoes so they can dry after wet days or let the midsole recover
5th: 5/10K racing shoes
- 5b: Previous "faster" shoes now are my fun 5K and tempo day shoes
- 5c: My starter shoes are now completely out of the rotation
6th: (Maybe one day) Half/Full marathon racing shoes
Cool approach to building out the rotation! I would add that when you are looking to save a a few dollars on shoes check out the outlet stores of your favorite brands and look for shoes that did well from a few years back. You can usually find high quality shoes from previous years heavily discounted. Recently, I saw a pair of Nike Pegasus 34s in a Nike Outlet store for less than 70.00 bucks.
This is just what I needed to know! Thank you so much Seth!
QoD:
Easy Long/ Middle: Clifton 6 (enough cushion, light enough)
Tempo: Reebok Run Fast
Threshold: Run Fast for now, though I'm looking for a durable long-distance racer for this work
Intervals: Run Fast on track, see above for other
Race: Hoka Evo Racer (5k-HM) and something new for longer distances (HM-M)
Trail: Hoka Torrent
Can't wait to see what Saucony, NB, Hoka come out with for longer distance racers! Also glad I have a couple months to save ;)
QD: Some years back I tried several different shoes and ended up feeling most comfortable in Mizunos. Since then, I always keep three pairs around. I have a very light pair for short runs (under 15k) and then 2 pairs of WaveRunners. I will have an older pair that I use for my long runs and a new pair, which I am breaking in. Once my older pair hit their end-of-life, then I get new ones and my old "new ones" become the new "old ones". So, little science around what fits the terrain, distance or weather. But, it is more around have the optimal pair for my long runs, which are broken in, but not worn out.
That's a very helpful way of thinking about different types of shoes. But personally, I currently have three pairs in my rotation: 1) road shoe; 2) trail shoe; 3) indoor shoe. I end up doing most of my interval/speed training indoors, so it more or less matches (long/easy run, trail, interval/speed).
My favourite trick is to repurpose shoes. So my long run shoes eventually become easy day shoes, and my race shoes become tempo/interval shoes once they have done a few races.
QD: I buy shoes only when they’re on clearance. Besides the Vaporflys. No matter the amount of shoes I have I’ll get a pair when they hit clearance to save up, right now I’m going through a rotation of three shoes. Have a good one Seth!
I remember wearing the Nike Pegasus 3 or 4 back in 1987-88 HS XC. I wore the same pair for both practice & meets 😃
Thanks so much for this Seth! I found a great deal on a pair of stability trail shoes that are must for my rotation. I've been stuck doing a long runs on a treadmill a few times during this Michigan winter. Super excited to get the trail shoes and start pounding the powder.
QD: Pretty much just get a lightweight trainer and then a faster/lighter shoe for workouts. Sometimes I’ll use my cross spikes for workouts. I used to only have one pair of shoes but the running store guy convinced my mom to get another pair of a different structure to prevent injury and so my shoes didn’t smell as bad. Also I don’t run in trails enough to warrant a designated trail shoe.
What do you think about the opposite, minimalist rotation: get one pair you love and fit like a glove. Wear them all the time every day for every time of run until they wear out, using shoe goo if you want to extend life. Wear them into the dirt. Some guys even wear their's to work/school, for hanging out, everything...they don't come off. Then get another pair of the same kind. Ride the model until you can't find anymore, then get another model to bank on for as long as you can. Put on high miles, so that you are constantly wearing down shoes and changing to new ones.
QD: I work with an excel sheet in which I rate my shoes 1 to 5 to the different runs and note their weigth, price and distance. I noticed that the Mizuno Wave rider is a beast when it comes to different type of runs, and is very light too. I run my marathons in it (I rate it 4/5 there), but also slow recovery.
I agree with the chart. I’ll try my best to add shoes where I truly have the fewest to meet a certain need. But these new racing shoes have me buying more than I need in that category lol
Man love your running shoe collection!
In addition to keeping things workout appropriate, cycling through multiple pairs of shoes extends the lifespan of each of them. So, while it might require a somewhat significant upfront investment to purchase three pairs of running shoes to train for a race, if you cycle through them regularly you’ll find that it takes longer for you to re-up for new ones.
For pinching pennies: If you're fortunate enough to have a Road Road Sports in your area, they have a discount table of gently used running shoes that runners have returned because they didn't work for them. They have a policy that you have 90 days to try the shoes and if you don't like them, you can return with no questions asked. So they end up on the discount table. Best shoe I scored??? I got the Altra Lone Peak 4 mids (I used for snow/slush mountain runs - waterproof) for $80 which are normally $159.99. They were in almost perfect condition. 🙌
Love these matrix videos!! Would love an update for trail specifically!
Just a warning about the Hoka Rincon, it's a great shoe for the first 100 miles and then the foam hardens up and takes a toll on your legs, and becomes quite unstable
Are you rotating the shoe? Rincon was going to be my next purchase. Went from the pureflow to the Kinvara and rotating with Brooks Neuro
Big 5 sporting goods where I work is a good place. In store only, ask about clearance stuff. Older models from previous years. For example saucony guide 10 or iso1. Saucony ride 10 or iso1. Asics gt20006, or cumulus18. All would go on sale for 59.99. Most are clearance now for the same price. Use a coupon. The saucony ride iso is $40 sometimes on the the day deals.
This is exactly what I needed to see right now! Thanks!
My road shoes right now: Cavu, Rincon, Beacon v1, GT2000-6. I think I may need a new tempo/fast shoe after retiring the Hoka.
For trails I alternate between 2-3 pairs depending on the terrain and how fast I want to go.
Time to retire few pairs soon and make room for new additions :)
For me the Turbo 2 seems to have ticked many boxes on the long run through to tempo. Race day I did try next % and 4% but settled on zoom fly as more accommodating when doing threshold and races plus £100 cheaper. Have the Peg 36 Trail for road to trail and running types in between and as you mention seems to cover all bases (Nike did a good job there!).
Have stepped out in Reebok Forever Floatride Energy for long runs but found my feet and achilles pretty beaten up after a run and was using the Altra Lonewolf 4.5 for trails but again really tweaked my achilles prob the zero drop!
Did have the the Vomero 14 for about 100 miles but brought on plantar fasciitis so they went to eBay - only Nike shoe to let me down!
QD: Awesome video! I definitely have a shoe addiction lol. I have two trail shoes for occasional trail runs I do. Nike 36 trail and Tierra Kiger. The rest are for road. Easy days: NB Beacon 2, Pegasus 35 or 36. Tempo or faster days: NB Fuel Cell Rebel, Peg Turbos or Zoom Fly Flyknits. Long runs: Hoka Rincon or Peg Turbos. Races: Hoka Rincon, Nike Zoom Fly Flyknits, Next %, or Peg Turbos. I feel like for races it depends on the race distance and type of race. 5k or 10k would use the Next % or Zoom Fly Flyknits. My last 10k I used the Turbos cause there were more hills. My first half marathon I used the rincon for more cushioning for the longer distance. I love running shoes!!! Seth, thanks to your channel, I’ve tried all of these! 😀😎
When would you race in your Rincons over Next%? I’m guessing the Hokas would be for shorter distances, but they feel so good, it seems like they’d be a good marathon shoe (but. It if you have the 4%!). Do you really use your 4% for 5-10k, or was that a mistake?
Ha ha, I got a kick out of how many shoes you have! 👊🏼
Matt Bertrand yes I have 12 shoes 😳, and I bought them over the last year. That escalated rather quickly 😂 I have a hard time wearing them out lol. I actually just bought the next %. I Really want to race in those for longer distances but the Nike shoes hurt my feet over 6 miles so that’s why I use the Rincon for long runs. Not really a fast shoe for me though 😑I really love doing short races at this point, so I love my Nikes for that.
Laura Luvs2run Ahh, that explains it! If Nike shoes hurt you’re feet over 6 miles, then a 10k is the perfect use for them! Enjoy all your shoes! 🎉
I only have three pairs of shoes
Nike Pegasus 35 currently waiting to replace them with the pegasus 36. I use them for almost everything long runs easy runs and workouts road and trail. I also have Nike rival xc spikes that I race in. I only race xc. I have a Pair of Nike free run 5.0 trainers that I use for lifting, anything other training and the occasional run if I don't have my 35s.
I spend hundreds per month on new running shoes. I can't stop. Some are still in their box
What the Rincon does on road the Speedgoat Evo does on trail. My do everything trail shoe for Phoenix AZ. You take a pounding out on this Rocky terrain.
QOD: I’ve no rotation. I’m an absolute amateur in this world of running shoe rotation. Have done 5k, 10k, and half marathon races and all were done w Pegs or Ghosts. I never switched shoes during training blocks and race days.
Now, I’m starting to panic a bit bc I’m seeing all these rotation suggestions and I’m will be training and running my very first full marathon. Went to the specialty shoe shop and was suggested Ghosts but now I’m not sure what shoes to get for race day (ghosts aren’t great but can’t imagine so much drop and eight for a full marathon). Any suggestions are welcome bc I am a little panicked. Thanks! Great post 👍🏽
There's no need to panic--It sounds like you found some shoes that work really well for you. The Pegasus and the Ghost are excellent shoes that can absolutely carry you through a marathon and marathon training. If you really want to venture out and try some new things, think about what you are looking for in a shoe. For instance, if you want something a little lighter to go faster in, a lightweight trainer would be a good option. If you like Brooks, the Launch would be a worthwhile shoe to try: www.brooksrunning.com/en_us/mens-running-shoes-launch-6/110297.html
The Launch is like a slimmed-down Ghost. The Pegasus Turbo is also a nice option for light/fast, albeit more expensive than the Launch.
If you worry that the Ghost or Pegasus will not be enough for a full marathon, you might want to look into a more cushioned trainer. A solid option from Brooks is the Glycerin (on sale now, by the way). Or, if you want to adventure into the maximal cushioning world, you could try something like the Hoka Clifton. (All shoes mentioned in this comment are currently on sale at big discounts online).
I hope this might help a little. Again, having a rotation is not a big deal--good trainers can pretty much do it all, especially if you are a beginner.
Corey Fink thank you so much! This definitely eases the anxiety levels 🤙🏽😎 I tried Hokas but my feet were not happy. My heart was broken bc I really wanted to try a pair. I’ll def check out your other suggestions once life returns to normal here in Ireland. Everything but food shops and pharmacies and banks are shut thanks to that nasty 🦠 Sigh! Anyway, thank you again and stay healthy 🖖🏽🤙🏽🙏🏽🍀
@@MsCMR80 My pleasure! I also have trouble with many Hokas, but I know lots of people who swear by them. I don't think that tall, rockered sole works for everyone, though. (The only Hoka that gives me no issues is the Cavu, which is not as tall as other Hokas, and doesn't have a very rockered sole.) Hopefully all this virus craziness clears up in the not-to-distant future. Wishing you the best for your health and your running journey!
Awesome.. i love to run.. great job seth.. pls do more blogs..
Alright guys I’m in a pickle and need your guys help. So I bought a pair of Nike vapor fly knit 4% during my XC season. Currently I’m in track season and I haven’t changed shoes ever since. I’ve only been running in these shoes for everything. Long runs, workouts, just for everything in any terrain. The shoes have been worn out to the max already. You can see the plate and it’s just all destroyed at the bottom. I’ve tried running in other shoes like Nike epic reacts and these sauconys that I bought but they all just feel so hard on my feet. I want to buy other shoes but honestly I’ve gotten so used to the energy return the nike vapor fly knit 4% have gave me and it’s hard to find another shoe that fits what I want as a shoe and I don’t wanna waste money on shoes I won’t like. Please give me suggestions I’m thinking on buying just another pair and keep using it for
everything as they are my personal favorite shoe to run in, super light and comfortable. I was going to but the next percents but the price is just too much and I feel the durability would be worse than the 4% since it has even more foam on the shoe. So yeah please give suggestions on type of shoes that would fit my running style. I’m a sophomore in highschool and currently in track season. 16:54 for 3 mile, 10:54 for 2 mile, and 4:59 for just a mile(which I’ve all done in the 4% ,which is why it’s so hard to find another shoe since those have been all my best times in those shoes).
Carbon plates in shoes lose most of their spring effect after 50 to 100k but you can still train in them, so potentially can be used for most runs
QD: In planning shoe rotation my first consideration is cost. Racing flat for 5k to 10mi. Track spikes for 800 to 3k. Performance trainer for up to 10 miles. Cushioned shoe for long runs 10 to 15 miles
I have a shoe for easy days and long runs, a shoe for workout days, and then my spikes for races. That's about all I could see me having for my shoe rotation. I'd add in a trail shoe if I ran trails more often.
Thanks for your ideas! I'm just starting new chapter but previously I just rotated three shoes as beginner. Basically I just picked them for different winter conditions as
Hoka Speedgoat3 for soft snow
Asics Gel-Fujisetsu 2 for firm snow or glassy ice
Hoka Clifton5 in case of proper road service
Actually it was eye opening to do 22km on ice using those Asics with nails without having real cushion as Hokas even being heavy as 195lbs I didn't feel any issue as thought form changes automatically when shoe gets minimal?
I like to build a rotation around different offsets (heel-to-toe drop). I like having zero drops, 4-6mm and 8-10mm. I group my tempo, threshold and race shoes together but like to have a different shoe for long runs and easy runs.
For trail I just rotate between two shoes, but my road rotation is like 5-6 shoes.
Which drop is best for each type of run?
@@landonperdue8447 So I find that that lower drops make me work harder. So the harder the run, the higher drop I use. I use zero drops for tempo or easy runs, 4-6 for tempos and the hardest efforts I save the 8-10 drops. I don't think there's a best drop for each type to run. I just like to make training as hard as possible in order to be in my best condition for race day!
I run in the Arc’teryx Norval SL quite a bit. It is a trial shoe however the pugs are minimal enough for taking them into the roads. There not budget shoes but I think my pair is going to last a while. I will mention I’m a 5K to 10K Runner
Interval Brooks Launch, everything else Pega35 currently. Being a triathlete i am also not running more than 3-4 times a week.
Im now starting my running shoe collection. Definitely going for sales as this type of shoe will end up being beaten up faster than my lifestyle shoe.
Long Trail Run up to 100 miles: Nike Wildhorse 5
Trail Run up to 50 Miles: Salomon S/Lab Ultra 2 and Nike Terra Kiger 5
Long Road Run: Hoka One One Carbon X
Race Day Road up to Marathon: Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo 2 and Hoka One One Carbon X
Road Running up to 13.1: Nike Epic React Flyknit 2 and Skechers Razor 3
I've always thought that tempo run is, more o less, something like to threshold run but for you there is a difference . can u explain it better in a future vlog? thank u vm
Stefano Costagli my understanding is that a threshold workout involves multiple repetitions faster than your race pace and tempo runs are slightly slower with one prolonged effort.
@@JosephWheeler14 thank you vm , looks like a good explanation
My current rotation is the following: New balance 860 (long run), New balance 1500 (tempo), asics ds trainers Threshold) and Hoka ahari (easy run).
I have 3 different pairs of shoes, 2 for easy days and long runs that I alternate, and 1 pair for tempo and interval workouts.
Awesome. Any general guidance for brands that run narrow for us wider footed people? Or is it just a mixed bag across lines?
How many shoes do you have on rotation? After you have reviewed a shoe, what do you do with them all?
You are brilliant your videos are so helpful
I heard they’re getting rid of the Vomero and the new Pegasus will have react foam with a full zoom air unit (like the Vomero 14 had). Kind of like a merger between the Pegasus and Vomero. Has anyone else heard this?
A most excellent video Seth, as always :) can anyone recommend any UK equivalents to the stores mentioned? Thanx
Great video. I really wish you would test out the Reebok Forever Floatride Energy!
QD: i try to get shoes that are as much versatile as possible. Light and with some cushion like the NB beacon. I rotate right now 3 road shoes and 3 trail shoes. I got my eyes on the carbon x right now for marathon racing!!! Gotta save the pennies!
Hey Seth, I loved the video! Do you have any recommendations for shoes that can double as a long run (up to 18-20) and mid-distance (6-10)? I don't have a ton of money so I would prefer something that is cheaper (or older versions) but can still last a lot of miles.
I use the Nike Pegasus 35 as a trainer for all distances. Now that the 36 has been out for a bit, the 35 is easily found at a lower price. (also Vomero 14, but I think the peg feels better over all).
Im using Nike fly flyknit 2 and beacon 1 to aim for sub 2.45 marathon and 1.15 half. Since Im a student I need to look for affordables options. Any good ones you would recommend? Im running about 110km per week, so might add one with more cushion typ hoka!
Quick point: A Race shoe - you should be familiar with your race shoe and incorporate it into your rotation.
Love the video, but I’m in high school and training for the mile. So what’s a good shoe for faster shorter interval runs or fast workouts where spikes are not wanted?
Not Seth obviously but the Nike Streak LT4 is a very popular option for lightweight racing flats, which I think is what you're looking at for those kinds of workouts. They run narrow and small so definitely try them on. I use them for everything from speed workouts up to 5-6 mile tempos. I would think most XC flats would also be good options -- super light, low or no heel drop. Good luck!
Another option could be some saucony fastwitch iso. They are very light and if your doing speed they are great. Plus they are not that expensive. Seth has a video on them. You could watch that to get a better idea.
Great vlog as always Seth! Loved the breakdown by type. But those examples were all neutral shoes. Would you provide the same list (by run type) for stability shoes? Thanks 😊
No love for the Pegasus Turbos’s??? An amazing shoe from an easier run and even tempos
Seth never got on with the Turbo 2. I like both the original Turbo and the Turbo 2.
rundc_ I think in a video he said it cut his achilles
I was similar never enjoyed the turbo 2s.. loved the original. I had a similar issue that he had with the vomero 14s and the tongue.. I also felt the 2s didn't have the same pop as the 1s. Maybe this was a faulty pair I had
QD: Disclaimer: Altra-sponsored athlete, so choices are all Altra. Trails: Lone Peak 4.5 and King MT 2.0. Roads:Mostly the Escalante Racer (which is also a great tempo and race shoe), Escalante, and Torin 4. Racing: Escalante Racer and Kayenta.
Good video and great content, could you please give a similar lineup for Stability shoes?
Hey wanted to ask if you can do something on the alpha fly coming out ur work is incredible by the way
Seth, thoughts on the AlphaFly now that we know it's coming out and will be legal?
what you thin about kalenji
QD: currently using Brooks Ghost 11 for long runs. Nike Pegasus 35 for easy/steasy days and Adidas Adios 4 for races (up to 10k). I have Brooks Caldera3 for trails and Innov8 mudclaw 275 for XC. I am running my first marathon in April and debating whether to splash out on some Nike Next% or would another shoe (Boston 8 etc) be better value? Love the vlog. Dan.
Great vid!!! Very informative👍👍👍. Subbed!!!😊
Feels more like an advertisement "buy this brand, this model, or this model, or this one", I expected this to be more in general terms, like what to look for in trail and road shoes, how to see whether you need neutral or stability one, what do you need to pay attention to when picking for specific training type, etc. But this is a free YT video, so can't be mad:)
I m mostly 400m runner and in winter we dont use spikes, I would probably need some shoes that are versitale for warmups , jumping gym etc (basic work) one faster for intervals and one for longer runs. Can you give me some recommendations?
I currently have adidas solar boost for everything and nike zoom turbo for intervals and longer runs. They are more than a year old so time to get new ones
Hi, I'm a heavy guy, BMI of 34, weighing 240lbs.
I used nike pegasus 35 and then adidas pulseboost hd.. found the pulseboost to lack sufficient cusioning.
I run about 5-8km about 5times a week. I run in the park on soil/grass.
I want a shoe that is comfortable and can help me run longer. I'm a pretty slow runner, I do about 8km in 56-60 minutes.
I used the pegasus 35 again and found them more comfortable than the adidas. However they fell a little narrow.
Could you recommend me some options please?
Hi Seth - I HATE to run, but love your channel. Ex-football lineman, ex-power lifter and strongman, Crossfit world top 200 Masters for 5 consecutive years,now trying to expand my total fitness to the next leave at 61. Weighing 210 @ 8% body fat, i am still a “heavy foot” runner. I own a Trueform treadmill, and they are zero drop, 5 Fingers people as you may know, so i have been running barefoot on the treadmill. I would like to go outside, i would like to evolve my running to a “ninja” softer foot strike - would buying a Hoka One One Carbon X defeat that purpose? I also really like the Asics Metaracer look, as they look closer to zero drop like my current Altra. Could I use both Hoka and Asics as my rotatation?
Seth, I'm yet to see a brooks cascadia trail shoe review. I find it such a great commuter shoe but would love your take on it also. It's up to the 14th or 15th iteration so been a staple for a while.
What was that shoe in the shot with three shoes with green and yellow lugs? 7:05, 7:10, 14:10
Hoka Speedgoat 4
Cool man thanks
Always looking for bargains in last year's shoes..many times they are 1/2 priced,especially in somewhat odd sizes..especially get larger women's shoes cheap and fit perfectly..
Kinvara easy 50% off you can find for about $60
Do you have a video on accessories such as hydration sunglasses etc?
I would want to see this aswell
QD: my process for building out my running shoe rotation is that I make a shoe work for multiple different kinds of runs and I’ll buy a new one when I think my wife won’t yell at me 😂
Zoomfly= threshold & race
NB 1080= long run, tempo
Nike Trail Terra Kiger- trail
