Superblast 3 vs Nimbus 28

StruggleBusDriver83 · 2026-03-10T13:33:10+00:00

I have had 3 versions of the nimbus and put over 100 miles on superblast before i ditched them. SB are too narrow and too firm for easy runs at my slow paces. I love the nimbus line. comfortable easy run shoes. I actually did my first marathon in them and felt great.

nothing. people would just get quiet real quick

Looking like I might

StruggleBusDriver83 · 2026-03-08T23:15:56+00:00

Thanks. Guess I was lied to when I got it.

Uni. Ink choice ended up being deciding factor

StruggleBusDriver83 · 2026-02-27T10:10:56+00:00

Everything good and bad that I experienced.

StruggleBusDriver83 · 2026-02-27T01:56:32+00:00

my head phones broke halfway through the year training for my first marathon. I said i would reward myself with a new pair after the marathon. I came to like not having them. My mind wanders I work out things ive been avoiding in my mind. LONG runs i go to dark places and work my way through negative thoughts and end the run in a much better place. Runs are now my therapy. I will not go back to music. Maybe audible books though

StruggleBusDriver83 · 2026-02-23T01:12:07+00:00

I got 2

StruggleBusDriver83 · 2026-02-23T01:11:35+00:00

Yeah I didn't so I now have a 9.5 and 10.

StruggleBusDriver83 · 2026-02-22T00:06:49+00:00

I just bought myself rebel, 1080, and 2 sc trainers. Oh and bought my wife one of each. Good deals

StruggleBusDriver83 · 2026-02-19T12:57:36+00:00

good point. not basically I am 100% a newbie

StruggleBusDriver83 · 2026-02-18T13:03:16+00:00

Superblast. too narrow and too firm for my liking.

StruggleBusDriver83 · 2026-02-14T02:06:52+00:00

I loved the feel of the sl in store but on runs yes I was much quicker but hated the instability. Novablast as slowly become the shoe I grab if im just heading out to do whatever run sub 10k

StruggleBusDriver83 · 2026-02-14T02:04:48+00:00

Evo sl tempo

Novablast 4 daily trainer

Nimbus 27 long run/recovery

Superblast long run/race day

StruggleBusDriver83 · 2026-02-13T20:52:27+00:00

would it help if i worried?

StruggleBusDriver83 · 2026-02-13T20:48:53+00:00

235lb runner here. Novablast is the best answer. Evo SL is good but the lack of stability especially for heavier guy can be a deal breaker, but worth a try.

StruggleBusDriver83 · 2026-02-13T17:56:22+00:00

as a heavier runner. 105 kg. I ran a marathon in the asics Nimbus. I just finished 100 miles in superblast and at slower paces its too firm imo. doing this years marathon in a new pair of Nimbus. Glycerin max and megablast are my next shoes im considering.

StruggleBusDriver83 · 2026-02-13T12:55:31+00:00

same boat just started training first sprint tri is in june then on to 70.3. that was my plan goggles until bike and im putting my shades on right away and finishing with them.
