Our favourite running shoes - Emil

We test a great number of running shoes! But there are a few pairs of shoes that we fall in love with so much that they enter into our own shoe rotation. In a series of articles, I invite people from the office into the studio to talk about which shoes are their favourites right now.

Intro

Here at the office we are used to reviewing and assessing a number of running shoes. And we love running shoes. So we are always very excited about getting our hands on the latest pair of shoes. Our task is not to criticize the running shoes, but rather to highlight what the individual pair of running shoes is best for. No two runners are the same, so we see it as one of our most important tasks to guide you so choose the running shoes that best suit your running situation and your temperament.

Having said that, as runners ourselves, we obviously have our own individual favourites. That's why I've decided to interview the various running experts at RunningXpert to find out which three pairs of shoes are in their rotation right now.

The first person I have invited to the studio is one of RunningXpert's fastest on the road, Emil Højmark Foldager. Emil can run a marathon in around 2 hours and 30 minutes. In order to be able to run so fast, it's no surprise that he gets through quite a lot of running shoes. In this video you can see which 3 shoes are Emil's favourites at the moment. You can also read about them below the video.

The first shoe Emil has brought is the Asics Novablast 3. The Asics Novablast 3 is a lightweight high mileage running shoe that also manages to give you a very comfortable running experience. Emil wears this shoe for almost all types of training. It is very comfortable and soft, so it's suitable for quieter runs, yet at the same time is incredibly lightweight and could also easily be worn for tempo running.

The Saucony Triumph 20 is the newest shoe in Emil's rotation. Saucony has given the Triumph model a makeover. It has been given a completely new foam that Saucony calls PWRRUN+. PWRRUN+ is designed to resemble PWRRUN PB, which is the foam we know from the Endorphin series. But this time, the foam has been compressed and made much more durable. So you get a really good and solid high mileage running shoe, which Emil is very excited about wearing - especially for relaxed runs.

Li-ning is a shoe manufacturer that is really starting to make an impact on the European running market. What's more, one of their shoes is also part of Emil's shoe rotation. The Li-ning Feidian Challenger is a great shoe when you need to set the pace up slightly on your runs. Emil wears the Li-Ning Feidian Challenger for his interval training, tempo sessions and when he does training as preparation for marathons or half marathons pace. Although Emil chooses to wear the shoe for tempo running, you can also easily use this shoe for racing in competitions.
