  • Nike Pegasus 36 Trail - Prefer the Sense Ride 2 as it is not as squishy on the trail.

  • Nike Vaporfly Next % 2 White/Pink - Training shoe.
  • Nike Vaporfly Next % Volt - Race shoe.

  • Salomon Sense Ride 2 - Like this over the Pegasus.  Firmer ride.  Better for trails.
  • Saucony Endorphin Pro - Firmer than Vaporfly.  But not bad.  Probably won't take over 1/2 marathon.  Good for shorter races.  Will use as primary trainer for long runs.  
Thinking About:
  • Hoka Mach 6

2020 Shoe Purchases (Rolling - January)

(1/5) Nike Pegasus 36 Trail - Have always wanted to try a trail shoe, but was pretty sure I didn't need one that could handle the technical trails in places like Colorado.  Focus on was on a hybrid shoe (road and trail), with potentially a GTX/Goretex liner.  My concern with GTX is heat.
