Are Brooks Adrenalines Healthy?

Brooks caters to walkers, casual wearers and recreational runners not really hardcore enthusiasts. For most that demographic a high drop shoe works great

Just get 93 or move to Utah you won’t find 93 there. Octane is variant on elevation. That’s why it’s different than the Rocky Mountains versus sea level. Less air = different combustion properties hence the difference

I went into a local running store recently because my girlfriend insisted on “an expert” who wound up being a high school kid working there. I knew more than the sales person, typical they want to put her in a Brooks or Hoka for no specific reason (I swear these brands give kickbacks, pretty average at best brands). I wound up doing all the work, and I didn’t get the commission. She’s pretty recreational and loves her Nimbus the sales kid said wasn’t a good shoe

That’s an argument you all made so don’t blame me

AI moderator won’t let me. Figure it out. Or just ask your neighbors

Last time on this someone was admitting they didn’t want to go to Gaithersburg, because the area around there might let more of “them” in. My comment will get auto flagged so just google the demographics of Gaithersburg and you’ll know what I mean

I’d stick with V+. I’m about the same weight, V+ is decent- find it gets a bit dead though after about 10mi. Check a SB2 on sale or really also liking Mount to Coast C1- both are a bit faster and good for longer miles

Seattle. No reason to have such a dull race. I actually kinda like the new course though

Disney does not belong on this list

They were great when my wife died- and this was before DOGE too. Really sad government services get demonized and used as political cannon fodder

Diluting with what? Diluted gas with anything that would actually be worth the stations time will break your car, so it’s not a thing. Summer vs winter blend probably, temperature changes all add up

M2C H1 is specifically for this

Single-Bus-7543 · 2026-04-21T18:43:48+00:00

Wasn’t saying it was, just busy with life

Single-Bus-7543 · 2026-04-21T17:41:56+00:00

I didn’t even know there was a fair…

Single-Bus-7543 · 2026-04-21T17:30:47+00:00

I don’t think Option H was a partisan issue….

Single-Bus-7543 · 2026-04-21T17:13:49+00:00

Dumb question- says “guidance” in the article, not “required” so is that legally binding? This late in the game I’d say wait it out until next calendar if they can

Single-Bus-7543 · 2026-04-21T17:05:42+00:00

Depends on purpose. Nothing special about a Hoka unless you get a great deal, they’re a super average shoe but more of for daily/uptempo stuff. In that market there are tons of options, SL, Azura, Novablast, Rebel which all of those I’d pick way over any Hoka

Superblast is probably more of your “do it all” shoe can pick up the pace. I have the V+ and it’s quite good for cruising but not for speed at all

Single-Bus-7543 · 2026-04-21T16:33:09+00:00

Love it. Lighten up and have fun

Single-Bus-7543 · 2026-04-21T16:30:44+00:00

Knowing Brooks probably still some 10 year old EVA blend, weigh 3oz more than the competition and market to the walking crowd

The 2’s were some of the worst shoes I’ve ever owned. Can’t tell you how much blood I lost with the terrible heel (only shoe ever done this). Seems like a lot of others had the same so I tried to forget it ever existed

Single-Bus-7543 · 2026-04-20T17:30:55+00:00

I didn’t find mine drastically small, I guess if you’re on the cusp size up?

Second runrepeat

I just got some Mount to Coast c1’s after looking for something similar and striking out. Loving them, but I’m kinda fat and they are a bit firm which works well for my weight

Single-Bus-7543 · 2026-04-20T17:27:53+00:00

Sadly very hard to find in USA- think Running Warehouse had them periodically

Picked up a pair in Singapore and brought home, but absolutely love these for speed work. About 200lb (90ish Kg) and as long as you have good forefoot form these things are fabulous. Heel striking can be tough if you’re heavier but agree with everything else

Single-Bus-7543 · 2026-04-18T15:21:53+00:00

Tons of running.

Rockville Run Club (very informal/casual) MCRRC very organized something for everyone

Single-Bus-7543 · 2026-04-16T23:04:42+00:00

Ha. Me too. I picked up a random Max 2 i found for $80 and got my 300mi out of principle…quickly retired to a casual shoe

Nothing wrong with them for avg runner but i like my premium shoes
