    Used to run pretty fast/a ton of miles way back when and fell in love with a discontinued saucony model. Ran in college and trained in Nike Pegasus for years to my detriment and had to take significant time off to heal. These are the only shoes I’ve tried that kind of make me feel like a runner again!

    I am a Ghost purist. It is all that I have trained and raced in for my past 50 or so marathons (168 total). The 16 fits me perfect and has sufficient cushioning (I’m over 200 lbs), but not too much. I have no reason to try any other shoe. The Ghost is, and always has been, a perfect running shoe for me.
