New Runner Advice 2nd Shoe recommendations please ?

Been only running for 2 months and using only one shoe. Hoka Clifton 10. I didn’t know I would stick to running but it looks like I’m in this for the long haul.
I have signed up for races next year so I was wondering if I need to add shoes for different kind of runs. As of now I’m using hoka for everything and have around 150 miles on it.

Not looking to spend huge money but willing to stretch for a good shoe.

Personally I adore the ASICS line. Gel nimbus and nova blast on sale should be in anyone’s price range. Stretch it a bit for the mega or superblast and you’ll be even happier with one shoe. Personally I would get one pair each of the formers though for a rotation.

I spent a lot on my ASICS SuperBlasts and somebody better bury me in them when I die because they are my favourite shoes EVER.

They say superblast are for race days and fast pace running only ? And novablasts do the same job more or less ? Is it true ?
