Hey Guys, I'm a trail/mountain/fell runner and I have plenty of shoes for that aspect of my running. But I plan on doing my local road 1/2 marathon each year, and don't want to ruin my trail running shoes by pounding the asphalt! Any recommendations for a good, but affordable road running shoe, just for training and a single race? Any advice would be gratefully appreciated! (P.s my trail runners are Salomon and Saucony and I love them!)
I would say to try going with the Saucony Endorphin Speed 2, they're on clearance about now with the new model 3 and should be pretty decent deals, they work well on roads and are springy enough to be racers, although they were originally meant to be used for tempo efforts as a trainer.
If you hop on eBay you can find pre super shoe marathon racers for 40 bucks or less… I’m sure you can get a good 100-150 miles out of them, they won’t be as good as super shoes but they are <20% of the cost.
Always worth it to check Nike outlets every few days if you have one near you. I have a teammate that checks regularly for us and we’ve all scored returned streakflys/vaporflys/alphaflys for <100 bucks.
Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?
