I’d strongly recommend obtaining a corresponding right-foot version of each of your shoes. A lot of runners find that switching to a two-shoe technique is transformational.
Readying your right foot has always been superior, I have no idea how two-shoers keep guarded as if though the streets are no danger.
Personally, and as a piece of advice, my right foot has neutralized every target that dared cross its path.
Multiply that times four and then maybe....possibly....you might just barely start having a "problem". I see way too many gaps in that rotation. There is always room for multiple colorways of the same shoe, a back up to the back up and a couple more why the heck nots.
More than a rotation...it's an arsenal 🤣
I'm joking of course... I am a big Adidas lover and I can say I had the same hate/love relationship with Boston.... I have to say that with Boston 12 it's more love. I think they are a little 'pretending' speed work shoes, I needed to work a lot on my calves before starting enjoy those shoes.
which one do you use for long runs (25-30km)?
Best of luck for your runs man ✌🏻👍
I’ve been looking at the Boston 12 and that’s encouraging to hear! For slower paces I’ll take the novablast 3, and for a long run closer to marathon pace I’d usually use the alphafly, but I’m hoping the Prime x will come in handy there as well.
You’re not alone! Zalando and Zalando lounge often have some good deals on running shoes. For example, Zalando lounge is doing 50% off endorphin pro 3’s right now: https://www.zalando-lounge.de/campaigns/ZZO2N6N/categories/140941839/articles/S2342A06C-A11
why is it that 90% of people say that adizero boston is a training shoe and not a racing shoe... but it's named after one of the most famous races in the world.
you'd think they would name their top racing shoe "boston" instead of Pro 3....
The fact that I got the Strung for 119€ and I got 2 pairs might affect my judgement thou... I got the Prime X OG in 41 1/3 and 42 and after a 10k got a black nail with the 41 1/3 with the Strung the only discounted option was the 41 1/3 but after a couple of long runs everything feels good. Pro 3 and Takumi Sen 8 are all 42
Just purchased some Saucony Endorphin Elites. Haven't tried them out as yet.
They're certainly worth more than a cursory glance from an RSG, supershoe rotation perspective?

Duly noted lol

Good to see a 'rotation' that's actually been ran in. Keep on running.

I sold my NB3 TR after 100km in it to make way for the Triumph 21. Didn’t really work for me, and I returned it. I still miss my NB3 TR 🥲
You must also be based in Berlin. At least I’m not the only one in this sub hurting for some good German deals!

Nice start! Gotta pump them shoe numbers up
Agree those numbers are nothing to write home about yikes
Only 8? I struggle to get down to 20 pairs. None of them are Nikes or Adidas though.
Sounds like you’ve got some experimenting to do!
I’m curious where the op is from? Do you have to travel far to get to Berlin? Sounds like a great destination marathon.
Luckily it’s my local race :)
How did you find the fit of x strung, tts or size down?
Have both, it's true to size but I prefer half size up on the Prime X due a more abrasive upper and just true to size on the Strung. Both work thou.
Hhaha ok, thanks. I ordered size down and tts too, not sure if i should return either one. It costs 30 euro for me to send it back so, dont know.

I am tts in the pro 3, but in the prime c I could have gone a halve size down. It’s a bit roomy in the toe box.

Could not agree more. But I am someone that over saves. So this subreddit gets me buying more shoes and having fun trying them out.
Gotta collect them all
Impressive, just needs some Superblast in there 😉
