Intro: a quick look at Saucony ENDORPHIN SPEED - SPEED Test & LONG RUN Test REVIEW by The FOD Runner. Solid shoe. Here’s what you need to try it on your next run. The full video has more.
Key points:
- Testing included a 7-mile tempo (about 40 minutes) at 5:45-5:50 min/mile (~9 min/km) and a 19.5-mile long run.
- Smooth, buttery feel, stays locked down with proper lacing, and naturally sits around 170-180 spm.
- Best for speed work and sustained efforts. Not the pick for slow, easy recovery days.
Workout example:
- Tempo run: 7 miles (~11.3 km) at 5:45-5:50 min/mile (~9 min/km). Easy first mile, then goal pace, cadence around 170-180 spm, easy final mile.
- Long run option: 19-20 miles (~30-32 km) steady (~6:30-7:00 min/mile), smooth footstrike with the shoe’s support engaged.
Closing note: try these workouts in your own shoes, using the Pacing app to customize speeds.
