I'm curious if anyone here is opted out of running in carbon plated shoes, and is both training and racing in the Brooks Hyperion Tempo? If so, why?
I have a pair of the Saucony Endorphin Pro 2's along with the Brooks Hyperion Tempo. I feel like the Endorphin Pro's defiantly provide a little boost in speed and maybe even less stress on the legs and has a little more cushion than the Brooks. However, what I like about the Hyperion Tempo is that my gait feels more fluid and natural. Therefore I'm considering compromising potential performance in exchange for good mechanics and stability. The reason being, I've struggled with a gait issue over the last year and a half.
Anyways, does anyone else here race in the Hyperion Tempo? If so what distances? How did it go? Why did you choose the Hyperion over a carbon plated shoe?
I would get the Hyperion Elite, but the price tags are ridiculous and the reviews are not all that great.
