I do long runs in them (fast to slow) as well as upper aerobic runs (5:10-5:50). Even for my doubles on occasion. Great shoe to have in your rotation.
Is this the zoom fly 5?
My friend has the zoom fly 4 and he absolutely hates it... it just feels stiff/slappy or something. the zoom fly 5 is the first one with zoomX though and im willing to bet it makes a pretty huge difference.
Superblast is the best daily trainer in the the history of shoes ever but it’s pricey.
Novablast and Speed 3 also very good particularly if you want to run a little shorter and faster. they’re more versatile but you’ll get less miles out of them.

Yes zoom fly 5, the zoomx makes it. I used the Boston 10 (light strike pro) before and it’s pretty similar, except the zoom fly 5 holds up better. My personal experience tho (and teammates). You’d have to give it a try, obviously your foot shape/ strike might not like it as much.
the Tempus is nice. stable if you need it, grounded if you dont. soft but poppy if you realy get on the forefoot. durable, ran easy runs, hills, a 3200 race, 400s down to 1:10, long runs, etc in it.
Ended up going Endorphin Speed 3, I think it fits well for the more agressive easy-->tempo progression days I do and feels smooth and it's really nice how light it is.
Shoe store didn't have many other options I wanted to try though so it was pretty much juts Novablast vs Speed 3 vs 1080v13 and Speed 3 was clearly the most performance based.
My opinion of the one you should choose is the Adidas Boston 12. It has improved a ton from last year's model which frankly sucked. It is light, cushioned, and responsive. You can run easy if them if you want or crank it up on long runs.
Novablast. I do everything including 70 sec quarters in these. Yes it gets very bouncy at this pace but 5:00 on the roads is very smooth.
Is there something about the Novablast 3 that makes them conducive to faster running? I ask because I've run in the 1 and 2 and do not like them for anything faster than 7:20 pace.
