Hi,
73kg, male, approx 1:20 in half marathon. I currently have a pair of Adidas Boston 8 which I love and use for races and more uptempo stuff and a pair of NB 1080 v9 which I find comfortable but slow and I use for easy and/or long runs. I also have a pair of Nike Pegasus which I've stopped using for running because they where not quite a good fit for me and I was having some issues caused by them.
1) Currently I'm using my Bostons when I go to the track to do speedwork, but I'm thinking that maybe something more specific would be a good idea. I don't have a track background, so I've never run in spikes and I'm not planning on starting now. Any suggestions?
2) The 1080s are reaching their end of life. I may end up getting the 1080 v10 if I find a decent price, but I'm also considering Mizuno Wave Rider (which I've used in the past), Brooks Ghost, Brooks Glycerin or something different altogether to replace them. Any advice?
3) Has anybody who used the Boston 8 tried the Boston 9? Are they similar? Should I stock Boston 8s if I find good prices? There seems to be an intermediate version, a Boston 8 with lightstrike. I have googled it but found almost no information. Has anybody here tried them?
