Altra’s The One 2.5 (a half-size larger than whatever your normal size is).
It’s cushioned enough for longer runs but flat/light enough for races. I’ve also run in them on plenty of trails with varying levels of technical sections and they held up nicely. It’s not for everybody given the wide toe box and sizing that doesn’t match any shoe I’ve ever owned, but they’ll have a spot in my closet as long as I can still find them at a reasonable price.
Another vote for these - by far my favourite shoe in over 3 decades of running.
Light enough for racing and speed work. Have also run 40+M runs in them. Cushioning is lovely and the last seems to give them great stability.
It's a tragedy they are not being made anymore, but word is that Altra are releasing a similar shoe early next year.
