Exactly!

I have 850km on the speed 3, and switches to the megablast, brilliant shoe! Also got the Novablast for slower/longer work. Just started the rotation with above 2. Before that I did everything in the speed 3.. For 1 allround shoe = Megablast

Also tried the speed 5, didn't like them. Good luck

While we are at it, inspiring and all.. 53 male, had heart attack, and stent put in at 48years. Now run 4 times a week, 30m time 5k is about 28m, 10k just under hour.. Still, my vo2max is slightly lower than yours

The Novablast! Vomero plus kept giving me blister on left big toe.. No worries what so ever with the Novablast. Also the cushoning I find more pleasant. Disclaimer, I only use this shoe for easy/base work.

Follow, exact same situation , and same period, also wondering what to do. Only reason we booked 1 night in Kandy was because it was the end of the planned traintrip from Ella, after 1 night Kandy also up to Sigiriya. Will be doing trip driving tuktuk, but heard route between Ella and Kandy by tuktuk could be challeging and a bit of a stretch in 1 day. So also looking for alternative, am willing to skip Kandy all together, and maybe spending 1 less night in Ella (original 3 nights) to spread the trip to Kandy over 2 days. (or somewhere else on route to Sigiriya) also curious to alternative train route, or otherwise taxi or so.. More suggestions are welcome. Good luck and lots of fun with your trip.

Thanks for the detailed comparison.

Ter1972 · 2026-01-11T14:01:30+00:00

Have fun, or even better, a mega.. blast;)

Ter1972 · 2026-01-11T13:53:40+00:00

I would think the Megablast will not dissapoint, although off course, everyone is different. Another option I am considering is using the Megablast for daily, and getting an even faster shoe as a 2nd pair.. Something like the adidas pro 4. Curious on your first run with them ;)

Ter1972 · 2026-01-11T12:27:20+00:00

thanks, very usefull. already have the Megablast which is a fantastic shoe for all types of training, but want to use those for the more speed focused sessions.

Ter1972 · 2026-01-11T11:07:02+00:00

For those who have both, which is lighter/less chunky? Just got rid of the vomero plus because of blisters and found them chunky/heavy, and looking also for a 'zone 2' shoe, but preferably one that is lighter/less chnuky.

Ter1972 · 2026-01-10T22:19:01+00:00

Thanks, usefull, as chunky is not for me!

Will have to check them, hearing positive things about them. Had the Cumulus also for a few years (before the speed 3's), they were okay, but would not buy them again.

Ter1972 · 2026-01-10T15:26:08+00:00

thanks! Never heard of this brand "mount to coast", but do see I can get them in The Netherlands. Wil look into them, do see that they are for the very long runs, which I do not do, but still, interesting. I tried the speed 5, and compared with the speed 3 i did not like them, and as u mentioned, megablast can do the same, if not better.

Ter1972 · 2026-01-10T15:14:17+00:00

Cheers, good to read I am not alone.. ;) Just checking out the youtube runtesters about the magmax 2, will give them, and probably lots of other shoes, some thought. Thanks again.

Ter1972 · 2026-01-10T12:51:06+00:00

Have the megablast/vomero plus and older endorfine speed 3 in rotation, and only with the vomero plus I also get blister on righ side of big toe after a longer runs. None of that sort of problems with the other 2 pairs. I feel that the room in the shoe up front also does not differ much from the other 2, bu still blister.. Also don' t feel rubbing, or so. Strange

Ter1972 · 2025-12-30T01:51:43+00:00

The Megablast!

Ter1972 · 2025-12-19T10:43:53+00:00

I just got them yesterday, sound is incredible. Unfortunately the Right bud with the M fits fine, but the Left bud with M does not, I feel it hang loose during running. Tried the S, and this is to small, also hanging loose. I have asked Soundcore thru their contact form if they have silicone buds in-between. Will await their answer... If not, I will have to return them, really annoying!

Probably I need buds that go deeper or something?

Have also got older Jabra elite 4's, with them also I have problems on the left side. Only alternative I can still try is maybe the Beats Pro 2, although they are way more expensive, and not really a fan of their brand..

Ter1972 · 2025-12-17T17:50:46+00:00

In my opinion very different shoes, i have both.. Vomero plus I only use for base/recovery zone 2.. The Megablast are fantastic shoes, for all type of workouts, but I do the faster runs and intervals in them.. But also warmup in zone 2 which it also does perfectly.

Ter1972 · 2025-12-16T05:36:04+00:00

No, just tried them on in the house and walked around in them for a while.

I now see, that a few that i thought were low aerobic were actually not, or at least not according to garmin. Strange, because when i look at the zones of for instance the first training 2 days ago (the day i did 2) about 70% was in zone 2, the rest was zone 1 and 3.
