I love a5's, wear them for almost all workouts and tempos. The most i've done in them is about a 6m tempo though, are they enough support for a half marathon? In workouts they always feel comfortable and i'm never sore. If not, what are some similar alternatives that will work for a HM? Thanks
I use them in the marathon and in long runs without any issues. What shoe are you using for your normal trainer?
im training in asics landreths
You should be fine. Unlike a flat such as, say, the Streak XC 3/LT, the A5 is a bit firmer in responsive (IMHO). Your calves might be a little sore afterwards, but besides that you should be fine.
Ive used my A5s in everything from 5k - two marathons and of marathon paced long runs. I am 170 lbs and have had no issues. Great shoe imo.
thanks guys, i think im gonna try some longer workouts in them during my buildup, maybe 6-8 miles worth of work, and if all is well i'll give them a go on raceday.
