Last season I wore the (egregiously overpriced) Nike Zoom VIc 2's. They unfortunately didn't last long, and both had ripped down the sides midway through the season. $120 down the shitter. I switched to Brooks MD, which were alright but I wanted something with a harder, and more aggressive platform. Is this something the ELMN8 3 (or 2) can deliver? How well does it race for a 800/mile runner?
