What a beautiful morning run that featured a little road, some trail, and yes… some sand. The @brooksrunning Levitate 6 were up for the task and the update is so much better visually but also runs better as well. It is a touch heavier than we’d like for an up tempo shoe, but weight has never been a focus for Brooks historically instead delivering bullet proof build quality.
It was a @tracksmithrunning kind of day to day from top to bottom including the new Eliot Runner. This shoe feels like a true natural extension to the Tracksmith lineup. From the aesthetics to the commitment to material qualities, this shoe feels designed by elite runners. It does run a little narrow and can even feel a tad snug throughout the upper due to the amount of padding. They do have more of a narrowed tapered performance oriented design but are pretty solid as an everyday trainer. Also, they run about a half size big in our case.  Did we mention how good they look?
Today was brought to you by the @brooksrunning Hyperion Max which is phenomenally fun shoe with a terrible name. The “Max” moniker is entirely unclear as this is a low stack speed shoe and while it feels like an updated Hyperion Tempo it most definitely is more minimal than maximum. It is quick, responsive, and did we say fast? Also, can we actually get a “max” cushion of this shoe because that would be super fun.
More miles on the @asicsrunning Superblast today and I will say these will grow on you. You need to know this isn’t a soft shoe going in so if you are expecting something like the Bondi, you’d be way off. It competes better with the NB SC Trainer as a distance training companion and its nice wide stance provides solid stability.
More early morning miles today in the @asics Gel-Nimbus 25 and I’ll say again the upper is just phenomenal. The midsole is not squishy despite the decent stack height and instead delivers a mid to firm up tempo ride. The Nimbus 25 is a very easy choice as a go to daily trainer and if you don’t like the white there are about 9 more color options to choose from.
Early morning miles courtesy of the @newbalancerunning FuelCell SuperComp Trainer and yes, this is still a really solid shoe. Love the performance, fit, and feel. Just an easy go to.
