4 pairs. I've heard that running in different shoes can help reduce injury risk, possibly by working different small muscles in each one. Seems to be helping me so far, as I used to be injury prone and I have recently been increasing my weekly mileage and speed work with no problems yet. Most of my shorter easy runs in Altra Rivera 2s, but this pair is pretty beat up and probably on its way out. It's a nice comfy zero drop shoe and I love it so much Longer (> 7 miles) easy runs in Saucony Triumph 19s. Higher drop and high cushion. Speed work in Saucony Kinvara 16s. Mid drop, extremely lightweight, love them! Other daily trainer is the Asics Gel Nimbus Lite. They're great at easy and quick paces. I also have a pair of Saucony Endorphin Pros that I haven't used yet but will hopefully whip out for race day It sounds like a lot but I got all except the Kinvaras used on Poshmark for less than $40 each. In great condition, too.

Im a bigger runner (was 220 now 180) and also a heel striker. I've been through a lot of cushioned shoes recommended for bigger runners (Triumph 19, Nimbus, Superblasts ) and I had a lot of issues with my shins and knees. If I could do it all again I would use a slightly firmer stable 'every day' shoe (right now I'm using the Adidas Rise 2 and Rebel v4). I'm no expert at all so take this with a grain of salt, but I just wonder if those max cushioned shoes can sometimes give you a false sense of security and allow you to plod along with bad form on the day, but pick up injuries. I feel like I know where I am (in terms of form, cadence, pain etc) in a slightly firmer shoe if that makes sense.

Heavier runner here - I use retired running shoes for gym (currently Saucony Truimph 19s). Still very comfortable in the upper, and more than enough cushioning for a treadmill, but they're slightly firmer (having done 400km) so they're not too bad for lifting (far from ideal obviously). You could pick some up off ebay/vinted if you're not opposed to second hand

I have had very good experiences with Triumph, I had versions 17, 19, 21 and I was very satisfied with all of them, I currently have over 1000 km on the 23 and I am slowly looking at the 24, which has very good reviews, it has top-notch ATPU foam, it could be a gamechanger, definitely check out that shoe

Sales + runrepeat. Needs to be at least half off. If I’m being honest more like 66%+ off. I’m running in speed 2s, Boston 11s, triumph 19, and glycerin 20s because they were on sale.

I have almost 600 miles on my Triumph 20's. I still run in them every other week or so.

If I want a slow long run I like the Triumphs, any of them, I think the 19s are actually the best!lol But most of my long runs I want quality so I wear the Speed 3s. They’re roomier than the Speed 4s, my tempo and VO2Max shoe, but still fast and comfy enough.
