Sarah requested if I might do a publish on my Brooks footwear and what I take advantage of every shoe for! She additionally requested if I typically change footwear after the warm-up to make them last more so let’s go forward and dive into this matter as a result of I might speak for years about it:).
Let’s begin on the left and transfer to the precise! I put on impartial trainers. PS clearly I like black footwear!
The Hyperion! They nonetheless have some sizes of this shoe out there however they’re now not making them anymore. Fortunately, I’ve a bunch in storage ha as a result of I really like these footwear a lot. These are the footwear I’ve worn for all of my PRs up to now as much as the marathon. I really like them. As I get older I’m noticing that I would like a bit extra shoe/help for longer runs/exercises. As of proper now I principally use them for exercises like mile repeats… quick and FAST. These footwear have a giant place in my coronary heart.
Hyperion Elite! These are what I’ll race in now. They’re so extremely gentle which helps to waste much less power which retains you from fatigue longer and operating extra effectively. It has a carbon propulsion plate which supplies you a quicker toe-off. It additionally ‘retains you operating in your most well-liked movement path, permitting you to save lots of power and run quicker for longer. I can not wait to see what I race in with these when I’m going for brand new PRs!
Hyperion Tempo! These are my goto now for longer tempos/exercises. It’s loopy how gentle they’re however they provide me a bit extra cushioning for the longer effort that I would like. They’ve a wider forefront which supplies a bit extra help and reduces deviation. Brooks made the tempo to coach in and then you definitely race within the elite.
Launch 8! I really like to make use of these on days the place I’m in search of a lightweight shoe and I’m considering I’ll be operating a bit quicker than my simple tempo. I’ve additionally used them for tempos and so they work nice. They provide you a quick really feel however they aren’t one thing I’d race in or do quick intervals in personally!
Levitate 4! I don’t put on these ones very a lot however I like to seize them for once I really feel like my physique wants an additional spring.. they’re a bit bouncy. I’ve worn them for lengthy exercises like 3 x 3 miles too and so they do superior.
Ghosts 13! I’ve advised you a number of instances however these are simply my favourite trainers and I put on these greater than every other shoe. The quantity of consolation that’s packed into these footwear is unreal. I’ve carried out some velocity in them however that was extra on accident however they labored nicely for that too however I wouldn’t usually select them for velocity. I really like carrying these on my simple/restoration days and simply wish to put on all of them day lengthy. My full love letter about them is right here.
Glycerin 19! These are what I take advantage of when my legs really feel trashed and I would like each little bit of assist doable with restoration. I take advantage of them once I simply must really feel like I’m operating on clouds.
Cascadia/Caldera are my favourite path footwear! I really like having a bit extra stability so I don’t roll an ankle and rock plates so I don’t really feel each little factor beneath me. BUT I don’t at all times put on path footwear on my path runs. It depends upon how technical the path is and whether it is fairly low-key than I normally simply put on the launch or ghosts.
When I’m doing a velocity exercise I LOVE to warm-up and cool-down in a distinct shoe than I do the intervals in. Once in a while it simply doesn’t work to vary footwear so I put on my velocity footwear for the complete run but when I can, I completely change footwear. Typically I’ll do the warm-up close to my home after which go house and change into my velocity footwear and end the velocity at my home to change into my different footwear once more. I’ve additionally dropped off my velocity footwear on the spot the place I do know I’m going to start out the velocity too after which I choose up my warm-up footwear afterwards. Doing that is tremendous simple if you’re doing a exercise at a observe as a result of you may have your bag of stuff proper there. It saves the damage and tear in your velocity footwear and I LOVE what Kim says about this… It indicators the mind to run quick!
I hope this helps, let me know in case you have any questions… I’m loving making weblog posts round your questions!
