Intro
“Challenging LONG RUN in the Saucony Endorphin Rift | Worth the money?” from Run4Adventure is worth watching. We’ve pulled out the key takeaways. Watch the full video for every detail.
Key points
- The Saucony Endorphin Rift was tested on a 16-mile trail run with about 500 ft of elevation, a solid test of varied terrain.
- Conditions ranged from rocky technical sections and steep climbs to tricky descents, sandy patches, and heavy rain on the return.
- Gear for long trail runs: 1 L water, energy gels, basic first aid, emergency bivvy, rain jacket, charged phone, optional poles (practise with them first).
- Trekking poles help on muddy uphills and steep terrain. Get comfortable with them early.
- Shoe notes: no carbon plate (better ground feel), stable across varied terrain, good rock protection, mixed-surface traction. The toe box is snug and lacing pressure can build on longer outings.
Workout example
16-mile trail long run (about 15.8 mi), 2-3 hours:
- Warm-up: 5-10 min easy on flat terrain.
- Main set: cover the full loop:
- Uphill: even tempo, stay aerobic.
- Technical descents: use poles for balance, take short quick steps.
- Sand/rocky sections: watch foot placement and see how the shoe feels.
- Hydration: drink every 30-45 min from your 1 L bottle.
- Nutrition: a gel every 45 min (try a plain “naked” option).
- Cool-down: 10-15 min easy jog, then stretch and foam-roll.
- Post-run: water, recovery meal, log the effort in the Pacing app.
Closing note
Scale the mileage and vertical to your terrain, and set pace zones in the Pacing app.
