I typically run between 70-100 miles per week and am focused on marathon training. I'm thinking of switching from Nike's to Brooks. I've used Nike LunaGlides and Zooms in past and am wondering what peoples thoughts were for a nice distance trainer.
I was thinking Brooks adrenaline or Ghost but wondering what peoples experiences were and if I should be looking at others. I consider myself a neutral runner.

I would suggest the Mizuno Waves or the Saucony ProGrids. Or perhaps the Asics Gels.
Brooks Launch.
Ghosts are great
Go to a running store, try on as many shoes as you can. Walk out with the model that fits the best. Who cares about brand or what some random runner's opinion of a brand is. It is all about what feels the best on your foot.
I have a low volume foot and the Nike Pegasus 30 fits my foot better than the Brooks Ghost 6...there is too much excess material in the forefoot of the Ghost 6 for me. If your foot is low volume you might take that into consideration
How can you be a convert if you don't know what shoe you should use?
I like the Brooks brand, but can't run in their shoes. The Pure line is too soft for me and everything else is too bulky. I prefer the NB 890s for most of my running. Also, the jump from Nike to Brooks is pretty substantial as the are shaped very different.
Don't be afraid to look around and find what fits best. Just deciding that your going to switch brands and going for it can land you with an injury. I know, I did it.
