Been running in the Asics GT 21xx series since I started (6 years ago) and currently run in the GT 2000. In total I've owned over 20 pairs.
I rotate 2 pairs (older/newer) but that's it. No other model. While they're comfortable and I haven't hard too many issues, I would like to introduce some variety, namely:
- one "faster" shoe for intervals/tempo
- one "other" mild stability shoe preferably from other brand
The faster shoe would be aimed for drills, sprints, anything faster than 6 min pace. It's such a pain in the GT 2000. They feel slow.
The reason for the other stability shoe is to get more variety for my legs/feet.
I'm 32, 150lbs, male, 6y running, recreational (38:high 10k and 1:26:low half). Most recently I am peaking at 50 mpw w/ desire to run 60 mpw later this year. Usually 7-9 runs a week including 1 fartlek, 1 progressive tempo, 1 trail run and 1 hard 10-12 miler.
Thanks
