    I'm looking to do a few road races this spring and I've run XC and Track for 5years now, but haven't ever really had to purchase some road racing flats. I'm wanting to get a pair soon because I'll be running in the Crescent City Classic 10k (in New Orleans) March 22nd, but still don't have a pair. I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with / thoughts on the following shoes...

    Asics Gel Magic Racer IV (7.0oz, $59.99)

    Asics Gel Hyper Speed 2 (6.6oz, $69.99)

    Asics Gel Ohana Racer (8.5oz, $79.99)

    Nike Zoom Streak XC (5.6oz, $64.99)

    I am a big fan of Magic racer and stocked up 3 pairs in case I can't get it any more. So, you know which I would recommend. It gives you very good energy return and cushion and is designed for 5K to H/M.

    I'm a fan of the Nike Zoom Stream XC's. I actually wear them for every mile and they hold up pretty well.

    And with the 20% Eastbay coupon they're affordable. Just bought 4 pairs that should last me through '08, and I'll probably put in 3500 to 4000 miles on them.

    P.S. Buy 1/2 size larger than you usually need. It cost me 3 or 4 toe nails till I figured this out.

    jabroni,

    On letsrun's homepage toward the top left hand there's an advertisement for eastbay that shows the code. It's now 15% off $100 or more purchases and I think it's LKS18MC3. Hope that helps!

    To those who responded - thanks for the input!
