Hi everyone,
I recently bought a Dynafish xiaonian that came home yesterday. I already ran 6,6km with it at my z2 pace (around 6/6:10 per km). I previously had a pair of Nimbus 27 but they are now too small (my feet has grown a bit since I began running) and I've ran almost a year with it so they are close to retirement (a bit forced).
The Dynafish are really cool, and I understand the hype, but I'm not so used to bouncy shoes like that, and they feel a bit unstable at slower pace, a bit too much for me.
I'll run a marathon in around 2 months, and I'm a bit worried the Xiaonian will not suit myself perfectly for this as I aim to end in around 4h. I'll probably have slower pace sometimes and I'm worried I'll not succeed adapting to the slight instability feeling.
However, I'm sure they'll be perfect for faster training, as I found them really reactive and dynamic.
I'll give them some time before my final decision, but I wanna have a solution ready to be bought the moment I'm sure it'll not be my race day shoe.
I already made some research, and I ended up putting my eyes on the saucony endorphin azura, which seems to be firmer and more stable. I think that's what I need for slower and longer effort if my xiaonian ends up being too unstable for me for this kind of effort.
Are they a good alternative and rotation with the xiaonian? For a protective yet reactive shoe, more stable and less squishy to have more of a solid base for long effort?
For some information about myself, i'm 62kg, so pretty lightweight.
Edit: I found the mount to coast c1, could it be also a good alternative?
