I use Asics Nimbus for long runs of over 10 miles, but I find them a bit 'baggy' around the toe box.
I race and train in Nike Skylons 2007 model (light weight). It took me a few pairs to find the right ones then when the new ones came out I bought 4 pairs of the old ones
Remember they only last 500 miles then you have to bin them as the cushioning goes....
Aye its bloody expensive isn't it,lol.
Ive use a different pair for each session almost.
My weeks consists of....
Mon - 1.6-3.2 mile of varying pace to loosen off from sunday.
Tue - Track, 1.5 mile warm/1.5 warm down + around 3 mile during the session
Wed - 1.6-3.2 to loosen off(really need this after a track session)
Thu - 8-9 mile on the road inc. hills, 6-7 min mile pace.
Fri - 3.2-5.4 mile varying pace
Sat - REST!!!!
Sun - 12-15 mile 8-9 min mile pace with a few hills/speedwork chucked in for fun.
