I'm bound to run the Edinburgh marathon tomorrow. I still can't decide which shoes i should wear, Pegasus 34 or Asics Roadhawk FF. I'm aiming for a 2:40. Over short distances, Roadhawk are better lighter, but over the marathon i don't know, Pegasus feels much more comfortable and seems more responsive. What would you pick? Can you run that fast in the Pegasus 34? I heard some dude who ran a 1:06 half in them..

People have run 2,14 marathons in Hoka Clifton.

And Abebe Bikila won Olympic gold barefoot (but only a 2:15 so I suppose I'd have to go with the Cliftons)

Guys..i'm not talking about genetic freaks or Abebe who trained all his life barefoot. I'm talking about which shoes could benefit me more come tomorrow's race.

Pegs. I love those shoes. Although my new kinvara 9's are pretty nice, maybe even better

I would run in these if I was you.

I'd choose the VP 4% over them. However my shoe rotation includes right now : Asics Roadhawk FF, Asics Gel Nimbus 20, Nike Zoom Winflo 4, Nike Zoom Pegasus 34.

I'll go with the Pegs tomorrow, let's hope i'll crush it somehow.
