I frequently rotate my shoes and probably use 5-7 different pairs when in marathon training, like now. I currently am having trouble finding one specific shoe I like to use for race day. Not a good position to be in since race day is in less than a month. But, unfortunately, that's where I'm at.
So for all runs 14-20 miles long, I've been alternating between a Brooks Glycerin 21 and a Hoka Bondi 8. Anything shorter, I've been using a variety of other shoes, like the Saucony Endorphin Pro 2 and 3 (which I used once for a marathon in '22 and that was a mistake)
This was great! I wrote a post recently about he importance of rotating running shoes and I was shocked by the number of people who didn't know they were supposed to have more than one pair... My husband and I both use Nike invincible for our long runs and Saucony Endorphin speed for faster work. Then, I race in Hoka Cielo and he races in Asics metaspeed sky.

What shoes are you using now Jonathan? I've definitely been there!
