I’m a triathlete with a road running background. I run all my races in my Nike vaporfly next%2. They have helped me PR in my half time by over 5 minutes (now a 1:23). I’ve also had tremendous success with them in shorter races (10k is now 36ish) and am looking forward to seeing what they can do to my full marathon time. I wear these shoes for racing only and train in more standard running shoes.
That being said I’m looking to move into trail running. I own 0 trail running shoes. I intend to stop by REI to pick up some Altras or Hokas depending on fit.
I was wondering: is there a super shoe equivalent in trail running to the Nike vaporfly/alpha fly for road running? I have a 50k trail race coming up in the fall and don’t want to be racing in some clunkers.
