hi everyone! I’m running the nyc marathon this year and got into running late last year (have been working with a coach and consistently running since end of Nov 2025).

I’m 29F, 5’5, and not super fast lol. I ran the RBC brooklyn half at 2:02 and just ran 15 miles last sunday at 2:12. marathon pace right now is 9:08!

I started this journey running with asics gel nimbus (loved) and just got a new pair of novablast 5s (also love) for my easy/long runs.
I finally feel good enough to get a speed run / interval sneaker, so my coach suggested metaspeed sky because I really like asics. Does anyone have any other recs for a speed sneaker? or a hot take on this shoe?
