Anyone using the endorphin speeds as their everyday running shoe?

I probably use them for about 75% of my runs too. I work away so just bring one pair with me when flying to work and it’s the speeds I bring.

Yup, 4 or 5 runs a week. Only time I don't is when its very wet, use Boston 8s then, can't beat the conti rubber.

Finally... on their way

I accidentally bought a pair of these last night too! Discovered the "draw" yesterday evening, entered it and woke up to an email saying these were on their way.

With no xc season, this last year has been the first year in a long time that I've really spent money on road shoes. But it's getting ridiculous now...

Using them for sessions/tempo and long run so that's 3 out of 5 pw

Quick question, why would you use them for a long run if long runs are meant to be easy?


Or are you adding speed to long runs?

The Speed is currently my go-to shoe for long runs, not because I want to run faster, my long runs are at a very controlled easy pace by HR.
I wear them because they are comfortable, cushioned and my legs feel great after a long easy run.

Same for me. Very easy on the legs

Asics Kayano, I usually have a few pairs on the go, the older the muddier until the soles wear out.

I'm trying a wide fit for the first time but they seem slightly bigger lengthwise as well so I won't run on them until they're broken in and I can lace them to the shape of my feet.

Usually cheap enough on the asics store too.

So my Hyperion Tempos arrived.

Pretty disappointing shoe. Or maybe I’m just spoiled with the Endorphin Speeds

They feel so flat and unresponsive. I did get the feeling they were making me lean a bit more forward into a more falling forward gait but that might have been all in my head.

I only did 3k in them the other day as a warm up before I was changing to the speeds for a tempo session. Intended on sending them back but the label on the inner sole was already damaged so stuck with them. Did another 7 today and it was a better experience, not sure what runs I’d use them for going forward.

React Infinity 77 euro with MARCH21 on Nike App. Only a few sizes left.

Wearing Endophin speed for two weeks now, it’s really noticeable that runs are feeling easier, the effort is less, HR is a good ten beats per minute lower than average over the same routes I always do and I’m seeing results in harder sessions too. Very comfortable too I must say.

Oh was that me?? Haha. Thought the OP meant the Alphafly.

Yes I got the fuelcell TC. Wore them first in a 10k session and wasn't necessarily blown away (loved them but expected more). In hindsight perhaps taking them out on a soaking wet day which involved mostly puddle dodging wasn't the best idea.

I then wore them on a longer tempo session and that's where I found they came into their own. So if I was to pick a session style to wear them it would be longer tempos. I would say probably ideal for people doing marathon paced sessions and even race day. For me I'll save them for long tempo style runs.

I bought my TC the same time as you but only used them for the first time today.
I absolutely love them, really I couldn’t believe how good they felt. I only intended to do an easy 6 miles and ended up doing 10 and according to Strava it was a 10 mile PB! I actually might even prefer them to the Endorphin Speeds which is something I’d never thought I’d say about any shoe!
Now wondering if the TC are this good what must the RC be like!

Hey how do you get the extra 20% off? Is it for a new sign up (I’m already a member).

You have to enter the discount code for members that they display on the website - it was on a banner at the top of the page when I logged in. I think it was MARCH21 (or maybe MARCH31). You entered it on the checkout page.

Had my first run in these today. No comparison with the Asics MetaRacer. I've never run in one of Nike's equivalent 'super shoes', but I found these a bit crazy - just very, very easy to run quite fast in them!

Very weird feeling - just bouncing along. A bit disconcerting really...they're definitely good for the ego, but I'm not sure if they're good for the soul!

I could see how tempting it would be to wear them for sessions but I've put them back in the box until a proper target race comes along. Similar to how I treat my race spikes, bring them out for the races for the extra few %!

I usually just switch between xc and track seasons and my preference for road shoes is usually low-profile with plenty of feel for the road, so these were just an entirely different proposition. I wasn't even sure how stable they were when I was warming-up. But they're fast and they're comfortable (I went half a size up). And I definitely think you have to draw a line between pbs achieved in this sort of shoe and the shoes of the past.

I probably still prefer running in the MetaRacer (because it feels like you're still actually connected to the ground) but if I wanted to run a pb in a road race tomorrow, over any distance, I'd wear the Adios Pro.

I like the Hyperion Tempo - I think they're just a comfortable road shoe. And I don't think they should be part of the same consideration set as their competitors' carbon plate / high stack shoes. I'm wearing them for bog-standard road sessions at the minute. If they were cheaper, I'd certainly buy another pair or two (because I like Brooks fit/sizing).
