The Adidas Adizero EVO SL is an excellent lightweight, speed trainer and one of the most exceptional training shoes of recent years. #running

The ASICS Novablast 5 is an excellent, versatile daily trainer and the best Novablast version to date. Version 5 is a big upgrade over version 4, becoming lighter, more comfortable and more lively. It performs better over long distances and on uptempo runs than its predecessor. #running

The New Balance Fresh Foam X Balos v1 is a premium daily trainer that is lightweight, soft, and very bouncy on your feet. It’s a great daily trainer for all those easy miles but is limited in its ability to feel good on those fast days. #running

The Asics Noosa Tri 16 is lightweight, comfortable, and affordable shoe. It is definitely an eye catcher. People will definitely wonder what you are wearing with these funky colorways. The only question is: where does it fit in a shoe rotation? #running

The Hoka Mach X 2 is a great speed trainer with a versatile ride. It has a softer ride than most speed trainers but it has a high level of energy. Version 2 has a more breathable upper, a more cushioned ride and a more aggressive plate than the original version #running #runningshoes

The On CloudVista 2 is a stylish and fast running shoe ideal for runs up to 5-8 miles on roads and easy trails, from dirt single track to grass and gravel.

The Brooks Glycerin Max is a great maximalist daily trainer with a balanced and stable ride. It has a brand new DNA Tuned midsole which delivers a medium-soft and relatively versatile ride but doesn’t offer a high level of bounce or energy return.

The Hoka Speedgoat 6 is a durable, responsive trail shoe designed for runners who prioritize stability and precision on technical terrain. With a firm midsole, secure midfoot cage, and narrow fit, it excels at providing control and confidence on rugged trails. #running

The On Cloudboom Strike is a good racer which is best suited to forefoot strikers. It has a thick insole that doubles up as the midsole to provide a bouncy, cushioned ride but it doesn’t feel as fast as other super shoes due to it not having a very prominent rocker. #running

The Hyperion GTS 2 brings stability and lightweight together for a trainer-racer hybrid with more room in the heel and midfoot than usual; this shoe is an excellent option as a speed and distance combination shoe for a wide range of foot widths and running goals. #running #runningshoes

The Nike Zoom Fly 6 is a decent speed trainer that’s best suited to tempo, fartlek, and long runs. It doesn’t feel as lively as some of the other speed trainers and it’s lacking in excitement; it is however the fastest Nike trainer currently available. #running #runningshoes
