GEL-CUMULUS 27 GTX

He's right, maybe not exactly a Triumph or Glideride Max, but a nice daily trainer is a good start. Ride 18, Novablast 5, Clifton 10, 880 v15, 1080 v14 Gel Cumulus 27. Make sure the fit is also right for your foot.

Hi All, Currently I'm using cumulus 27 and I have been using it now for almost 250KMs. I ran with them on for TCS 10K and on the road it didn't feel very comfortable. I'm 179cm and 110Kg. I have been running with my society and cumulus never did bad. But as soon as I went on the road, I see there is no energy return and it feels unresponsive. So I'm looking for a new daily trainer while keeping this which I can use for more road runs. The budget is somewhat under 15K.

I am training for my first half marathon after being a casual runner for a few years. I recently got fitted in asic gel cumulus 27s at my local running store and have put nearly 80 miles on them so far. I find them great up to about 4.5-5miles. Anything longer I feel fine after the run but get serious aches in my knees when I'm in bed that night. Am I right in thinking I probably need more cushion for longer runs? Its not pain while running or throughout the day. Just significant soreness when I lay down at night after longer runs. Anyone have anything similar or recommendations (shoes, stretches/exercises, etc) TIA

It interesting you're saying something similar. They're not bad shoes and its not pain-just achy for longer distances. I have already designated them as short/easy run shoes and gonna consult with a pt friend and my local running store for something else for longer runs. I have the endorphin speed to my list to ask about! Thanks

I actually got these from my local running store with a fitting etc-Idk if I mentioned it anywhere else. I switched from brooks over to asics. I used to wear the brooks levitate which they have discontinued and I cant find my size anywhere so I was forced into something new lol

I second ASICS. Used to be Brooks Ghost but now I love my Gel Cumulus 27.

I'm trying the cumulus 27 out this training block as well. It's ok. It is boring to run in but has adequate cushion for the first few miles. I've also been a bit more achy with them, but nothing unbearable. I rotate between that and my endorphin speed 4s. I use the cumulus for easy/long runs and the Endorphin Speeds for anything uptempo. If you're getting another shoe, maybe something to target speed as the cumulus aren't great for speedy sessions. Another option, would be to use your Cumulus for shorter/easier runs and then get a super trainer like the Superblast 2 for speed sessions and long runs. The aches could be the shoes, but they could also be a result of overtraining, poor form, or lack of strength training so before you buy another pair you may want to consider what else could be causing you issues.

The asics gel cumulus 27 are really good for your use case. They provide good stability and good cushioning for your type of daily activity

You like the Kayano?? I'm an ASICS die hard, and I LOVED the Gel-Cumulus 25's. I HATE the Gel-cumulus 27 thought. My right foot overpronates a bit, and the Novablast MURDERED my ankle and made my peroneal tendon hurt. I like the Superblast 2, and was a great fast shoe for me. I'm eying up the Kayano 32 as a replacement for my last set of Gel-Cumulus 25's...I had 4 pairs, and they are all about clapped, and I am so so so sad. What's your review of the Kayano? Have you ran in the Cumulus'?
