    This product is for…

    Runners using it for long runs, tempo sessions, and intervals who want a plated trainer with some speed capability. Heel strikers may find it particularly well-suited due to the rapid roll rocker geometry.

    Worth noting…

    The nylon plate is positioned by the brand as a training tool, but at least one host uses it successfully for racing. Knee stress at slower paces is a flagged risk worth noting for lower-mileage or less-conditioned runners.
