Speed V1 is still my all distance racer. Glad I picked up 2 extra pairs on super clearance. I'm 65, I should be covered until I go to that great marathon in the sky :-) Thanks guys.

Thanks for all of your content! I am waiting for a Novablast 3 vs. Rebel V3 comparison 😎

I got the white shoe with red overlay and foam in NZ and it looks great. 1st run yesterday, 18km and really enjoyed it. I'm going to use it for long runs with marathon pace work in them

Magic Speed 1 ticks all the boxes for me: price, looks, light weight, heel feels nicely locked, tempo runs, intervals and 5k race day shoe. Looking forward to the next version.

Endorphin Speed 3 seems to be the king of the tempo played trainers, but would still love to see a ranking on this class. Puma Deviate Nitro, Nike Zoom Fly 5, Asics Magic Speed 2, Adidas Boston 10/11 (it’s a tempo trainer), and so on. This is a seriously competitive category that Nike pretty much started with the Zoom Fly, and it seems as though Saucony perfected.

Just the review ive been waiting for. Thanks!

I knew it that this new Magic Speed 2 is going to be controversial when i first hear them using 2 foams instead of full FFBlast+, sad to hear a such a great opportunity missed on second release of the shoe! I heard that some "excuses" were made that using a normal FlyteFoam as bottom is to add stability, but to be honest, that's marketing ploy because we all knew that Softer FFTurbo on Metaspeed series never caused/had any "instability" issues anyway! Probably saving full FFBlast+ for Magic speed 3 for no reason fss.

Good morning believe inthe run and all the runners from 🇪🇸. Good and helpful comparison. The next comparison: Endorphin Speed3-Novablast 3, please. Here is my like. My vote goes to Saucony endorphin speed 3. A nice day for everyone. ☀️🏃‍♂️☀️

Did first run in Speed-3 yesterday; I was hoping for MORE cushion based on reviews. I'm one of those who found Speed-2 to be a great daily trainer, but wanted more smoosh to make it a better daily trainer. btw, I dodged the blueman colorway and got white with a red mid/outsole!

[gosekinz]

daily here too .. Speed 2 or 3 .. looking at the Shift 3 for easy days

[FamousFelix]

Any shoe with a generous toe box is a win for me.

Gimme a Hoka Mach 5 v. Saucony Endorphin Speed 3 throwdown, or give me death!!

[haydenmcdonald]

I’m thinking about getting the speed 3 or Pegasus 39. What would u choose ?? I do parkrun often and some longer runs around 10km
