Anyone know what Nike Trainer he runs in for recovery and long runs? I've seen pics of him in the Structure? but that seems like alot of shoe for his fleet feet.

Most recently, the Nike Air Structure Triax.
Really? I mean that's all the stuff labeled as 'bad' combined in one shoe. Clunky, wide above 10oz, arch support and relatively stiff.
There should be a reason he isn't using a Lunaracer or Racing flat.
You think about this stuff if your whole career and success is based on it.
He was recently seen in Vibram Fivefingers, but that was not on the Nike campus.
Maybe Nike wants him to get stronger feet so he is no so prone to injury.
He uses the structure triax

Maybe because he wants to continue his streak of not getting injured and continuously improving instead of buying into some minimalist shoe fad.

Can't be any worse than their other trainers
He's been in the new Structure Triax that will debut in October. He's been testing and providing feedback on the new midsole and upper for the past year.
Structure has been his main training shoe since his high school days.
The structure triax is a great shoe...
A lot of guys need a moderate support running shoe and seeing as the triax is Nike's only moderate support shoe, boom, galen wears it...
You're an idiot for thinking that "10oz" and a stiff rigid shoe is "bad." Galen and Alberto are just a lot smarter than you. If Galen had a high arch he would most likely run in the Pegasus, like Mo does. But Galen most likely has a low to mid arch and mild pronation, hence the moderate support shoe. If you train in Lunaracers, you're probably making a bad decision.
It's worth noting, he does most of his workouts in flats and spikes, does a few miles of easy form drills and such in Frees, and it's not like he needs to be doing a lot of barefoot work to get good form. The only good reason to wear a barefoot shoe is to work on your mechanics. He clearly doesn't need flats to do that, and I'm pretty sure he does enough other stuff that running base miles in a heavier support shoe won't throw him off his game.
Bob Kennedy wore Structures too back in the day.
