re: *stipe

I went from 1 pair

Of running shoes to 40 in 2 years... Tried them all... 142 pounds 5-11 2:36-

For me:

Ran the 2:36 in trainers mizuno 17 was going to wear lighter but calf got messed up last minute before race.

Currently loving the Nike lunar racer and tempo.

Added a heal lift to get a bit more drop. The tempo and racer are wicked light and feel great.

Larger toe box and plenty of cushion. Not sure about the support for 26 but did a half in the racer and feet felt great. The lunar tempo might be the perfect shoe with added heal lift.

-Brooks-launch is nice

-mizuno 17-18s also

-maybe the Boston adidas but fits snug

I like these bad boys:

Wore them a few years back and got hooked. I think Brooks has some other models of a similar style depending on your preference.

Number of questions

Had Some Myself wrote:
I'm somewhat similar: 42, 5'11", 150, aiming for low 2:30s.
Old days PR of 2:24, but haven't trained vigorously for a number of years. First marathon in 5 years, first with any training behind for 8 years.
I got a pair of the Sketchers Go Meb Speed 3, and a pair of the Adidas Adios Boost 2. So far I'm strongly leaning toward the Adidas. I used to race marathons in significantly less shoe than that, but I'm going to be a bit more conservative at this point.
I really wish the Hoka Carbon Rockets were going to be released before my marathon, as I really like the R-Mat midsole material, and have really liked some previous racing flats (Adidas Pro-Plate) that included a carbon fiber forefoot plate. No such luck though--a couple of months too late.

The Hoka Carbon Rockets were never released right? Aren't they just a concept shoe?

How did you like the GoMeb Speed3? I'm tempted to try them. I have the Adios and really like them too.

re: skinnyb

NB1500 is my fave!

NB1400, Adios Boost are great too.

I am 50 yo, 6'2" 180#, and ran my last marathon in the Asics Lyteracer. It's categorized as a flat, but has great cushion. It is similar in feel to the Adios and 1400 but has a more relaxed fit in the forefoot. $85.00 on Running Warehouse.
