Built to be a training partner to the Saucony Endorphin Pro 2 super shoe, the Endorphin Speed 2 is an excellent, responsive running shoe, designed for training miles, tempo sessions, and even race day itself if you’re the kind of runner who only wants to buy one shoe. Now is a fantastic time to buy, read on to find out more. The Saucony Endorphin Speed 2 is part of Saucony’s Endorphin collection, which features a racing shoe — the Endorphin Pro, a tempo shoe — the Endorphin Speed, and a recovery shoe — the Endorphin Shift. During testing, a number of different runners preferred the feel of the Endorphin Speed 2 to the Endorphin Pro 2, as it felt more stable underfoot than the slightly more aggressive geometry of the racing shoe. Plus, there’s absolutely no reason why you couldn’t train and race in this running shoe. It’s got Saucony’s responsive, bouncy, PWRRUN PB midsole foam, the Speedroll technology, designed to roll you forward as you stride, and a full-length nylon plate, designed to help you pick up the pace during speed workouts and on race day. The nylon plate is more durable than the carbon fiber plate found in the Endorphin Pro 2, meaning you don’t need to worry about saving this shoe primarily for race day. It’s also less aggressive underfoot, for a more comfortable run. Whether you’re training for a fast 10K or a marathon, this is an excellent training shoe, and for $80, it’s a bargain. It’s one of the best training shoes around, and it’s a fun and fast shoe to have in your wardrobe, whatever you’re training for. Just act quick, this deal won’t be around for long.
