Terrex Agravic Speed Ultra Trail Running Shoes

Adidas Terrex Agravic speed ultra. So fun and fast.

I have pretty wide feet. I went true to size and they work really well for me. Just played with the laces to get them right. Took around 20-30k to adjust to them but now I’ve Put around 300k on them so far with no issues. They’re fun to run in!

Gear is very race dependent for me. If I know I won't be going more than 2 hours between water stops and aid stations, I'll take a belt and handhelds. If its longer or there is required gear, I would bring a pack. I use the classic Naked running belt and the Solomon Advanced skin 8 liter, I love both and they are worth every penny. The same goes for shoes. One, it is very individual dependent, so I would go to a local running shoe store and trying on a few types of shoes to see what feels best. For a race shoe it depends on the terrain. The shoe I am bringing on a flatter 100k is very different than what I would bring to a technical 100 miler. I love the Agravic Speed Ultra 1s (RIP) for almost everything, but so many people hate them and their ankle rolling tendencies. Try shoes if you can, and err on the side of what is comfortable and known. Try gels, carb mixes, and real food on training runs. Figure out what works best for you and practice eating a lot. The running theme is that everything is personal. I love gels for my carbs (I use PF30 gels), and plain water and PF1500s for my sodium. I also sweat a lot and my sweat is salty, so I need a lot of water and a lot of sodium. Find what works for you and practice eating on long runs. The biggest mistake I made when starting out was doing what I saw others doing, having it not work, and trying to force it to work rather than doing something else.

I have about 30 miles on the T1s and like them. I've only used them in kind of muddy conditions and dry though, not rain or light snow. The upper seems more comfortable than the Terrex Agravic Ultras which I went thru 2 pairs of beforehand

The Ultra has more spring in it. I absolutely love the shoe. I’ve used it on a 5K trail race all the way up to 100K trail race and everything in between.

Adidas Terrex Agravic Speed Ultra. Super fast. ETA: the non ultra version is also fast, lower stack height and no plate.

Not sure about that. Ran at 3:45min/km in mine yesterday. I only wear them when I want to go fast and I’ve got over 400km on them.

I change it up between Nike Zegama 2, Speedgoat 5, and Adidas Terrex Agravic Speed & Speed Ultra. Always rocking my Salomon Adv Skin 5 pack and Carbon Z poles.

Adidas Terrex Agravic Speed Ultra 2. Super fun. Super fast. I put 500km+ on the originals in every type of trail imaginable. The 2’s are even better.

Really enjoy version 1.. 3 biggest issues I’d say. Sizing, Heel slippage, tongue.. every single I person I know has had to go down at least a 1/2 size from their normal shoes as they run large. Even with sizing down heel slippage is noticeable especially on uphills. Also the world smallest tongue length. I know they’re trying to save as much weight as possible but come on. An extra mm or 2 in length isn’t going to make or break a shoes weight. Hopefully these are all addressed which imo would make a fantastic shoe a GREAT shoe.

Adidas Terrex Agravic Speed Ultra. This shoe rips and can easily go for 500+ miles 

Grip and speed are fine. Stability, especially if you have an ankle roll problem is not good. I’m generally not a fan of cheaper versions of super shoes. The ultra is a great shoe, and has set a lot of records. It’s very fast, and definitely one of the best shoes in the category. If you can spring the extra cost get the ultra. These shoes despite the marketing, are really not comparable. I would not think of the speed as a “cheaper version” of the ultra. Totally different shoe and feel. The ultra has a carbon plate and much more energy return. The regular speed is ok, but I’d just get a different shoe. Hope this helps. These shoes aren’t cheap I know.
