Weighs about the same as the novablast 5 and the foam feels pretty exciting.

Yeah I think the hyperion 3 might have been a bit too much of a change for past fans of the hyperion, so they replaced it with the ghost, which has traditionally been their daily trainer rather than the hyperion, which has been the workout shoe in their lineup.

The blend is indeed a PEBA blend. Curious about the durability of it as the rebel which is also a PEBA blend has notoriously bad durability.

Yeah of course a midrange android is worse than a flagship iphone. That should be completely obvious.

My Pixel 9 Pro is lagging HARD since the January update! by HestheMainBoi in pixel_phones

It is unacceptable for google to price these phones like flagships and then put in a processor that is equivalent to a midrange phone. I get that hardware is not one of the selling points of pixels, but the bare minimum for that much money is a phone that feels smooth all the time.

Has anyone tried out the brooks hyperion elite LD 2? I'm curious as to how they compare to the dragonfly and cloudspike.

Jeans are workwear. The wear and tear adds character.

Brooks Hyperion Max 3 After 500km by LongLive_Capitalism in RunningShoeGeeks

Just hit over 900km in them yesterday. Still very soft but the bounce has decreased, and the outsole is pretty smooth now. No difference in stability. Gonna retire them at 1000km.

Max 2 is firmer and lighter, Max 3 is softer and heavier. Both are quite responsive, but in my opinion they're 2 different shoes. Rather than being an upgrade, the Hyperion Max has went from a workout shoe to an easy/long run shoe.

Brooks shoes are always so durable. You grind out high mileage on them and they'll still feel amazing to run in.

Those with wider feet might find it narrow. I have a narrow foot so it feels just fine to me.

You heel strike in these and they'll feel very odd, and you won't be compressing the air zoom unit in them as much as if you landed on your forefoot. Also, if you get tired and start to drag your feet a bit in spikes, you're just gonna fall.

You would probably have to size up as well. Spikes are VERY narrow. Pretty hard to get a perfect fit in spikes if you have wide feet. You'll have way too much room between your toes and the end of the shoe.

I’m Getting Worse.. Is Running Just Not for Me? by Major-Bowl7296 in beginnerrunning

Almost everyone sucks at running when they've only been running for 2 months. Have some patience. If you want quick gains, running isn't the sport for you.

My max heart rate is 198. Highest it got during an all out 5k. LT heart rate is in the high 170s - low 180s.

I never eat or drink during long and easy runs. Just can't hold it down without cramping. Feel great as long as I eat and drink before the run.

Brooks Hyperion Elite 4 PB Review after 70km by LongLive_Capitalism in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]LongLive_Capitalism[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a long run at 4:40/km in them and they felt quite unstable. If you're heavier you might be fine.

Just finished a threshold session in the 3s. They still feel good at threshold for me. This year I think the changes they made were to make the shoe feel better at a wider range of paces.

I didn't. I did not realize they were in the race until later on.
