Aug 13, 2025

Intro: This is a quick summary of Brooks Hyperion GTS Review - First Impressions (Fastest Stability Shoe Of 2023?) from The FOD Runner. It’s a great watch — we’re breaking it down so you can try the workout today. Be sure to check out the full video for all the details.

Key Points:

The Hyperion GTS is a stability‑focused speed shoe, best used on speed‑day workouts rather than pure long‑runs.
Andy’s test run combined a moderate base, tempo effort, and short intervals, showing the shoe’s responsiveness and support.
Practical tip: the shoe’s grip can be slick on wet tarmac, so consider surface conditions before using it for fast‑pace work.

Workout Example (90‑minute mid‑week long run):

20 min easy/moderate run – settle into a comfortable pace.
2 min easy jog – transition and recover.
Strides – 4–6 short pickups to prime legs.
10 min tempo – run at a “tempo pace” (comfortably hard, ~80‑85% max HR).
90 sec recovery – easy jog or walk.
2 × 5 min intervals – each 5 min at a faster effort (≈10‑15 sec per mile faster than tempo), with 90 sec recovery.
2 × 3 min intervals – same fast effort, 90 sec recovery.
30 min moderate run – finish at a relaxed pace. All paces are time‑based; adjust the effort to match your own training zones.

Closing Note: Give the Hyperion GTS a spin on your next speed‑day session and tweak the intervals to fit your own paces in the Pacing app. Have fun, stay safe on wet surfaces, and keep crushing those workouts! 🚀
