GEL-Nimbus 26

My rotation is mainly asics... Daily trainer - Gel kayano 32, Max cushion - Gel nimbus 26s, Tempo/speed - Saucony endorphin speed 4s, but I've heard good things about the Asics magic speeds, and superblasts can handle reasonable speeds well too, Race - metaspeed edge, look into metaspeed sky too depending on how you run

I’m a big fan of Nimbus (I currently have the 26 though) and just retired my Glycerin 22 today for a pair of ASICS Megablast. I will say personally I was not a fan of the Glycerin. I’ve been running with Ghosts (my go to for faster 3-5 mile runs) for years and was told Glycerine was like the perfect hybrid of the Ghost Max and Nimbus (which has been my go to for more relaxed long distance runs). After running in the Glycerins my toes and knees always felt beat up. Idk if it’s the toe box but my left foot, middle toe kept chaffing to the point of blisters the last couple of weeks which I’ve never experienced before. All of that said, my personal preference is still Ghost for shorter runners and Nimbus for long runs. Nimbus is less responsive but super comfy for high mileage days.

I've been happy with the Asics Gel Nimbus, I have 3 pair of the 26 in 4e. My feet are more fan shaped too, these are still not quite wide enough in the toe area but aren't loose in the heel.

Today I went to Asics showroom to get Novablast 5. I have been running from last 6 months now. I completed 5K and 10K recently. I have been using Asics Nimbus 26. I purchased exact size of my shoes now its giving trouble if i run more than 8km in it as my foot starts expanding during runs. In store I got my Gait Analysis done and they told i have too much of over pronation and have to use only stability shoes and should go for kyano series. I had no issue with Nimbus till now apart from knee pain which was due to my week legs. I am doing knee strengthening exercises so that pain is also almost not there. I’ll attach video in comments please advise. Should i only use stability shoes from now on. I plan to do half marathon by this year. Right now my weekly mileage is 25km I’ll gradually increase distance. Thanks in advance You can find test video in [asics test video](https://www.reddit.com/u/Civil-Bicycle8025/s/9DskQd8IvC)

Hey! So was exactly my experience! Used Nimbus 26 in training (for easy runs) and Superblast 2 (for long runs). Decided to go with the non plated shoe for my first marathon as I wasn't willing to put extra stress on my body (my other option would have been the Vaporfly 3 but I was worried they wouldn't be as reliable for the upcoming three hours of running). So I chose Superblast 2 and had a great day out there, zero regrets, recommend!
