Iâd say thatâs a sign that theyâre for the bin,
I find that they wear differently, but you tend to know when theyâre past it, youâll definitely get a bounce in your times from a new shoe, (if youâre looking to do that)
Youâre clearly very quick, Iâd consider picking up an everyday pair and a pair for racing/speed work.
Currently running in Asics GT-2000, thinking of upgrading to the Kayano 27.
I have had many pairs of both. Much of a muchness for me.
The kayano is for fatties, donât let the price fool you, thatâs not an upgrade, just loads of cushioning and extra weight, itâs a good shoe for a beginner or a heavy footed plodder. But youâd be drained carrying it around.
Are you sure you need a support shoe?
If so go for the Saucony guide,
Lovely shoe, much lighter than the kayano

Iâve no idea what I need, but I do like the idea of support/stability given my issues with injuries.
Havenât checked this thread in a while, what was the plans, 10 miles in May or was that April?
I got a pair of Brooks adreneline gts 21 two weeks ago and they are the most comfortable things I have ever worn. Took 90 seconds off my 10km time as well on my second run.

Unless youâre actually pronating I donât think the stability shoe makes any difference.
I wore Kayano for about a year at the start, once I stepped into the Saucony guide I was finished with the ASICS, offers everything the kayano does in a lighter and more comfortable shoe,
But I subsequently stopped wearing stability shoes and I havenât looked back

Iâve heard good things about the Adtenaline,
Brooks donât seem to suit me, Iâve had two pairs and never took to them but lots of people swear by them.

Is the GT-2000 a stability shoe?

Yes, the GT2000 is a stability shoe but itâs on the lighter end of the stability spectrum compared to kayano

The fella selling them to me told me they are a âfastâ shoe. I had my doubts and presumed it was just sales pitch talk but after several runs I find myself nodding in agreement with him.

Theyâd be designed for comfort rather than speed but probably an upgrade on your previous pair hence the improvement.
If you put on a pair of Ghost or Hyperion youâd notice real improvement but you wouldnât want to use them every day
The Nike Zoomx Invincible to prevent injuries.
Very cushioned.
I might add a lighter one for a few strides and sprints

What are the nike ones where you donât have to train anymore and you still run fast?
They are next step up
Nike Alphafly
Call into Gleesonâs or somewhere when they reopen. Talk to Siobhan in there.
Nobody is the same. A friend of mine is a lovely runner, 3:20 marathoner but capable of much lower. Always wears the GT2000. Isnât an over pronator in my mind (i.e. a heel striker) but finds they work best for him.
Look out for something called heel drop when searching shoes. The higher the drop (e.g. 10/12mm) the more your heel is up from the front of your foot, so the more theyâre made for over pronators
