Saucony ENDORPHIN SPEED - SPEED Test & LONG RUN Test REVIEW | FOD Runner - The FOD Runner
Intro: This is a quick summary of Saucony ENDORPHIN SPEED - SPEED Test & LONG RUN Test REVIEW 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 shoe was put through a 7‑mile tempo (≈40‑minute) run at about 5:45 – 5:50 min/mi (≈9 min/km) and a 19.5‑mile long run.
- The author highlights the shoe’s smooth, buttery feel, low heel‑slip after tightening the laces, and a comfortable cadence of roughly 170‑180 spm.
- Best used for speed work and longer effort runs; not ideal for very easy, slow‑pace days.
Workout example:
- Tempo run: 7 mi (≈11.3 km) at 5:45 – 5:50 min per mile (≈9 min/km). Warm‑up 1 mi easy, then settle into the target pace, keep cadence around 170‑180 spm, finish with 1 mi cool‑down.
- Long run option: 19‑20 mi (≈30‑32 km) at a comfortable “steady” pace (≈6:30 – 7:00 min/mi), focusing on smooth footstrike and maintaining the shoe’s stability.
Closing note: Try the tempo or long‑run workout in your own shoes and customize the paces in the Pacing app to match your fitness. Have fun testing the Endorphin Speed and let us know how it feels!
