Endorphin Speed

Have you run in similar shoes before like the Vaporflies, or is this your first try?

I've run in Endorphin Speed 2 and Vaporflies Next % and Zoomflies.

The Endorphin reminds me a little of the Zoomflies but it seems to be engineered better and my foot rolls a lot more naturally.

I am very pleased with the Endorphin Speed 2, which I prefer to the Speed 3 because the Speed 2 was just the right amount of cushioning, and the Speed 3 was very bouncy, much like a Vaporfly.

Will be trying out a Saucony Pro 2 today if all goes according to plan.

First pebax midsole shoe.

Back in 2018? I ran in a Nike shoe that had a full carbon plate and was lower profile. However I was never running more than 15-20mi a week. It did not have the ZoomX pebax foam. That shoe was stiff as a board and felt fast.

The Endorphin Speed seem to have a much higher stack height, more flexibility and just as bouncy.

I know the Speed has a forefoot nylon plate and a bit of a rocker.

Just poking at this pebax is a little wild

As comparison most of my running over the past 5-6 years (15-20mi/wk until recently) has been done in Nike Free Run or similar low profile shoes no 'respectable' runner would touch.

Train in the Speed, race in the Pro.

Great shoes.
