Adizero Boston 9

Boston 8, 9 (with Boost) - phenomenal shoes (still). ;)

Sounds good tbh. I fixed overpronation by mixing in shoes without support in my rotation and slowly increasing the weekly distance that I have ran in them. I started with relatively flat shoes (old pre-carbon Bostons) and did speed work in them, then I began to run long runs on trails and so on. You method looks quite similar, but more effey, because you get better feedback on your form during the run.

I gave Nike way too many chances, but they are not for me. I found the Pegasus uncomfortable. I prefer Adidas, give me a Boston and I’m happy

ASICS movables and Adidas Boston have held up pretty good for me

Adidas Bostons:i can get 500 miles plus out of them and run between 5 min and 8 min mile pace in them over intervals and long runs,just takes 50 miles to break them in properly but are usually good value between 90 and 120 pounds

I have the Boston’s too and they’re amazing! But important to note they’re not the easiest shoe for a lot of people. They do have carbon rods and they are relatively firm with a lower heel drop than some others. I’m not sure I’d recommend them for a first marathon

I don’t think “too slow” is the issue. If people see gains at a slower pace, even if they are less compared to faster runners, who cares? The issue is that for a first marathon carbon can be a lot. The current recommendation is that you should be able to do 25 single leg raises on each leg before your calves are strong enough.

For me trail.i can run on road with my trail shoes, but can't imagine going on proper trail with my road shoes (Adidas Boston).
