Shoes for 5km

If you really want to win the race...Adidas Springblades, they'll give you the 'edge'.

Check out http://www.runningwarehouse.com/Asics_BlazingFast/descpageMRS-ABFM1.html. I think they work very well on tracks. I've also seen people use them as road racing shoes, but I don't like them on a road surface.

After looking some reviews I found the Asics Blazingfast or Mizuno Wave Universe or the New balance RC5000 (http://triathlete-europe.competitor.com/2013/01/15/shoe-review-new-balance-rc5000) might fits the more ´´minimalist´´ shoes I´m looking for the faster track workouts.

Do you recommend one of the shoes above?

If I buy one of these, I was thinking about getting a Nike FlyKnit Lunar for the longer workouts on road (10km-15km). Do you think that the combination of this nike shoes with one of the above is a good choice or I should get another distance shoes such as Nike Flyknit Racing/Adidas Adios 2/Nike Streak?

Thanks

Don't bother with the Wave Universe, it will fall apart after 30-40 miles.

Check out the new balance 1400 v2. that shoe would probably work fine for both your 400m/1000m workouts AND your longer runs....Same with the Adios and Streak LT.

trollololol thanks a lot. Sorry for being annoying but I still have some questions.

I´ve done some research and the shoes u said really fit both types of running I´m used to do.

I would like to know if somebody has any kind of experience with the NB 1400v2 vs Adidas Adios Boost vs Nike Streak LT 2?

Another point is if you think that buying two of these kind of shoes (such as Adios Boost + Streak LT) to switch between them during the week is a good option.

Thanks

i have experience with the adidas adios boost and the old version of the nike streak lt (same midsole from what i understand)

the streak is one of my favorite shoes from track workouts but i do not feel that it has enough underneath (for me) to be used running anything above a 10k. i would not do my everyday mileage in the streak because of this but love it for racing on the roads.

the adios boost is much more "shoe" than the streak. it is definitely soft but has a responsive feel as well. i use it for longer tempo runs both on the track and the road. if you want a very lightweight shoes and want to save some $$$ you could probably use the adios boost for both your miles on the road and the track workouts. i would say that the nike flyknit lunar1 (which is my everday road shoe) is the most similar nike shoe to the adios boost, though the lunar1 feels much softer
