I called Deschutes county fairgrounds and was told contact cascade equinox directly. She couldn’t give me any information regarding the festival and If it’s happening. Unfortunately I haven’t gotten any replies from the team at cascade equinox. Does anyone have any updates on if this thing is happening or not?
Here’s my current 4-shoe rotation, with my honest thoughts on each. Curious what you’d replace the SB2 and Endorphin Speed 4 with?
Nike Vomero Plus- Absolutely love this shoe. Third pair from the Vomero lineup (first time trying the Plus).This is my go to for recovery runs, easy/base miles, and occasional long runs. Super comfortable, protective, and surprisingly smooth for a max cushion shoe
Saucony Endorphin Speed 4- My workout/race shoe right now. I use it for sprints, VO2 max sessions, anaerobic work, and I’ve raced a 5K + 10K in it. Really solid shoe.. peppy, quick turnover, and just stable enough for a nylon plated trainer. Curious what shoes people here prefer in this category though, because I’m always down to try something new
Adidas Adizero Evo SL- Favorite shoe I’ve ever owned.I use it strictly for tempo and threshold work (longest workout so far was 8 miles). For me this thing is nearly perfect: light, fast, comfortable, and super fun! I can see why some people say it’s unstable.. but if you’ve got decent lower leg strength and mechanics, it feels incredible. I’m considering racing my next race (half marathon) in it
ASICS Superblast 2- Honestly I think this shoe became a complete slog after 150 miles, I’ve considered it trash .At first it felt bouncy, versatile, and awesome for long runs/base miles. Now at around 170 miles it just feels flat, heavy, and lifeless. I genuinely don’t enjoy running in it anymore. Maybe I’m too heavy for it? I’m 6’1” and 200 lbs. Curious if anyone else had this experience. Is the SB3 noticeably better? I’ve even considered going back to the Novablast because it felt way more energetic to me, even if durability wasn’t amazing
