Puma Deviate Nitro Elite 3 - Wk 3 Marathon Training ”10 mile Monday"

[@paulmulks]

Yeah I mentioned I'm looking to pick this up as a possible speed/tempo workout shoe offering. I went and did a 10-mile progression run yesterday in my Nike Zoomfly 6, and I woke up this morning feeling like the toes on my left foot are broken! Very strange. So the ZF6 are now on eBay 😂 I have also decided that the Adidas Pro 4's are unfortunately not going to work for me so they are also now for sale 😫 Hoka need to hurry and release that new Cielo because as it stands the only shoe I've got is the Adidas Evo SL's which are fine for most workouts but I need to build up a new rotation. Starting to panic a little as London is not far off, and I've not yet committed to my shoe of choice 🤦🏻‍♂️

Hi Paul! That doesn’t sound good regard your toes 😩The AP4’s are out of stock, so you should get your money back on them mate. The Cielo X2 is rapidly becoming the most important release of the year for Spring Marathons runners, due to the fact that the AP4! Will not work for many people. Hoka better not have messed up the Cielo, trying to reduce the weight so much!

@Runnabl3-ed Yeah hopefully the Pro 4 sells 🤞🏻 I'm bang in trouble if that new Cielo don't work for me 😂 I have been thinking about that new Saucony Elite 2 but now worried the foam will be too soft like the Adidas Pro 4's 🤔 Yowana has made a video on it, but it's over an hour long but I've not had the time today to sit and watch a video that long 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@Runnabl3-ed]

The Saucony Endorphin Elite 2 is supposed to be even softer than the AP4, so be wary of that one, the Heel might be even more unstable, The Cielo X2 looks like it has retained the winged plate, which really helps with the stability of the foam, so if you can bag a pair, hopefully that is the one mate.

Hey Ed, thanks to your input I went with the Novablast 5 as my daily trainer, and I am loving it, I am training for four half marathons over six months, was wanting to run at 6:20 per km, did a 10km this weekend in Novablast 5 and ran that comfortably at 06:05 per km, love the bounce and the softness, I am 1.79 meters tall and weigh 85kgs, I played hooker at school, I am loving the Novablast 5 so thanks very much 👍👍

[@Runnabl3-ed]

Hey Mate! Really glad you love the Novablast 5 as much as I do. Every time I go for a run in them they remind me of why I love good running shoes, comfort, Cushion and performance all wrapped up in a fine looking shoe! I also played rugby, but the Rugby league, many because I was a sprinter and they wanted someone fast. I briefly played for the now defunct Sheffield Eagles (Youth Team) absolutely loved Rugby such a great team sport. Good luck with your half Marathons! Let me know how it goes mate!
