Brooks - Hyperion Tempo

Brooooks. I’ve been running in just adrenalines for years. I have bad arches and those + custom orthotics keep me upright and mobile. I recently bought a pair of Hoka Machs which I do like but if I could only pick one brand of shoe I’d stick the brooks and just get some kind of brooks tempo shoe

Brooks Hyperion Tempo or Hyperion. Both fast, responsive and minimalist.

High stack shoe with low drop makes my ankle unstable. However, lower stack shoes like, Brooks Hyperion Tempo, Adizero SL 2 seems to work better with a large dose of ankle and calf exercise, leg strengthening exercise like lunge, squat; some more core workout helps.

I've been doing speedwork and racing in my Brooks Hyperion Tempo. I've heard the elite 5 are good too. Edit: mine are rhe Hyperion tempo, not the 3. I'm seeing mixed reviews on the 3's so maybe just try them on!

I currently have too many shoes and not enough time to run. So calling them a rotation is probably stretching the truth. Hoping to get back into heavier mileage in the next couple months when I will make use of the rotation more. Long runs/recover: Puma MagMax Daily/Tempo: Evo SL, Velocity Nitro 2 (about to retire at 400 miles), just ordered Neo Zen 1 on discount to replace VN2, still occasionally dust off some WaveRider 27s and Neo Vistas that are over 600 miles Threshold/Intervals: Deviate Nitro 2 (about to retire at 420 miles), Brooks Hyperion Tempo (never really enjoyed them, likely to retire soon), Streakfly 2 Race: Metaspeed Sky (likely to retire soon) for 10K+, Streakfly 2 for 5k I don't love the Streakfly 2s and actually think my Achilles troubles that started last summer might have been caused by them (or more accurately by me doing too much in them). Would like to maybe find some Adios for cheap to use for workouts and 5ks and some Deviate Nitro Elite 3s for 10k + races.

The Brooks Hyperion Tempos lack pretty flat. I use them for spring workouts. They get flattened in the bag but are fine on your foot. Also I mostly run in Brooks Glycerin 21s. They are an excellent running and walking shoe. I will wear them on the plane

Just finished my first last Sunday with my second pair of Hyperion Tempos. I absolutely love them. My feet certainly were not my undoing in my race. I finished 3:46:55.

I ran my very first half marathon a little less than three years ago in a pair of Brooks Hyperion Tempos. I bought another pair and trained in them beginning late December 2024; I was going to “retire” them after I ran a 21-miler in Big Sur in April. But this year, they’ve carried me through two 10k races, three half marathons, a 21-mile race and just yesterday, pushed me home to completing my first full marathon. And that’s not to mention all the training in between. They’re incredible shoes and just an “ole reliable” for comfort and speed.

I used to have a BAD running shoe problem, I had like 25. I am now reformed but still have a lot apparently: *Hoka Mach 6 for everyday runs, I run part road part trail and these get gunked up every day, ugly lavender but muddied up which I love *Brooks Hyperion for everyday runs or short races (5k, 10k) -I was using this as dailys but I was gunking them on trails and I like them too much so I got the hokas above to destroy *Adidas Adizero Evo SL for road long runs (will use for my half marathons) -LOVE this shoe, cushy but speedy, makes me feel super fast *Hoka speedgoats for trail -I am meh about these, I prefer road shoes on trail, if I had more technical or slippery trails I would use these but other than that they just exist Vintage: *Adidas adizero adios boost, used to be my LD race shoes, they are like 10 years old and I refuse to give them up because they are old school undercushioned and fast *Mizuno hitogami also about 10 years old, proper racing flats supposedly for mid distance but I love them for short distance. Love love love how clicky they are, they go so fast Ok, nobody reading this but it warmed my heart to talk about my shoes, lol

I own the regular Hyperion and I'd have to disagree. I think it's great for speed work on the track or grass which is what I use it for but it feels like a brick on the roads compared to what I'm looking for

Brooks Hyperion. Not the Max...the Hyperion. I adored the OG but the rebrand of it still has similar DNA.
