Saucony Endorphin Azura

David and Andrea share their (differing!) reviews on the new Azura: https://www.doctorsofrunning.com/2026/01/saucony-endorphin-azura-review-2026.html

The Saucony Endorphin Azura is a lightweight daily training shoe that can do a little bit of everything. The Endorphin Azura is built off of the same last and philosophy as the Endorphin Elite, but uses no plate, as well as a different midsole in PWRRUN PB. The geometry complements the midsole well for both easy and fast paces. The Endorphin Azura uses a late stage rocker in the forefoot that keeps you feeling like you are rolling into your next step. Combined with the lighter weight and PWRRUN PB midsole, the shoe has some life to it as well.

Price: $150
Weight: 8.5 oz, 240 g (men's size 9), 7.5 oz, 212 g (women's size 8)
Stack Height: 40 mm heel / 32 mm forefoot

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I hope you enjoy this time with family and friends, and maybe even get out for a ride or run today. I am thankful for all of you and look forward to helping you feel better, fitter, and stronger in 2026. As for Peanut, she wants Santa to know she is ready if he needs a back up reindeer.

Yesterday was my indoor season opener at Oval Office Holiday Party. I ran 2:27 and was 3rd female in the Open 800, which is a solid start this early in the season. Today, I did an easy recovery run in the morning and then went to the gym this afternoon to keep building strength and power. While I’m generally not lifting as heavy as I was during the fall, I’m still including plyometrics and clean variations twice a week, even during racing season.

Shoes:

🏃‍♀️ Victory 2
🏋️‍♀️ L-1 Lifter

Mizuno Hyperwarp Pro

This new super shoe has our team divided. Matt and Andrea dig in on our latest review: https://www.doctorsofrunning.com/2025/12/mizuno-hyperwarp-pro-review-2026.html

The Mizuno Hyperwarp Pro is a super trainer/racer meant to be the most approachable shoe of the Hyperwarp racing trio. A full-length Enerzy XP midsole delivers a bouncy ride, while a carbon-infused nylon plate provides structure and snap to the midsole. A slightly short but extremely light upper sits up top. An extreme lateral flare makes this shoe a unique option for those with excessive lateral instability. The Hyperwarp Pro takes the Rebellion Flash series to a whole new level with this model, but with some sacrifices that limits the number of runners this will work best for.

In our latest podcast, Andrea is joined by Mizuno's Shunsuke Aoi, Global Product Line Manager to take a look at their brand new Hyperwarp line of racing shoes (Pure, Pro, and Elite). They also discuss what we can expect to see in the updates to the fan-favorite Neo Zen and Neo Vista models.

If you have a loved one who is experiencing pain or discomfort on the bike, give them the gift of comfort and efficiency with a bike fit this year! While cycling related pain is common, it isn’t normal and can be addressed with proper positioning on the bike and identifying and addressing any body-related issues. The benefit of getting a fit with a physical therapist is that I thoroughly evaluate all potential contributing factors to cycling pain.

Mizuno Hyperwarp Elite

The best of the Hyperwarp series? David and Andrea review this marathon-ready shoe: https://www.doctorsofrunning.com/2025/12/mizuno-hyperwarp-elite-review-2026.html

The Mizuno Hyperwarp Elite is a super shoe that is geared for racing the marathon. The shoe uses a dual-density midsole consisting of both PEBA and supercritical TPE to provide plenty of cushioning without sacrificing too much stability underfoot. The Hyperwarp Elite is gently rockered and really responds to forceful toe-offs. The 3.5 mm drop ratio may make for a slightly more aggressive feeling ride, but the shoe is rounded just enough to offset it. The 5.8 ounce weight for 38 mm of stack height make the Mizuno Hyperwarp Elite a versatile racing option that is immediately competitive with the rest of the market.

Mizuno Hyperwarp Pure

4.9 oz!? Full review by David and Andrea: https://www.doctorsofrunning.com/2025/12/mizuno-hyperwarp-pure-review-2026.html

The Mizuno Hyperwarp Pure is super shoe that is immediately one of the lightest on the market. In men's size 9 it is sub 5 ounces. The shoe has a gently rockered ride that propels aggressively off of the forefoot. The shoe will be a 5k/10k racing flat and down for most, but one could argue there is enough cushioning to go the full marathon distance if the shoe geometry works for you. The Mizuno Hyperwarp Pure is for those looking for the lightest and fastest option Mizuno has right now.

Coaching client (and favorite older sister) .sivertsen crushed her hilly 5 mile Turkey Trot this morning, running 20”/mile faster than she thought she was capable of and getting 5th AG on a frigid, windy day. Even more impressive is that her pace today was faster than the flat 5k she raced in August. My coaching prediction is that this will be her pace in 2026. Shoutout to her expert pacers, .sivertsen and pups Stella and Sammy 🐶

Shoes: Brooks Running Hyperion 2 🤩

Happy Thanksgiving to all! 🦃

Thanks to for putting on a rare November outdoor track meet today! It was a great venue and a very well run meet. Today was perfect for a rust buster mile leading into indoor season. I always need a race to shake off the cobwebs and get used to suffering again before the main part of the season, and I got that done ✅ today. I decided to make the most of the meet and also ran the 500, which was 15 minutes after I finished the mile. My goal was to run it at 800 race pace and I was right on target 🎯. Being able to run fast right after the mile gives me confidence heading into indoor season, where I’ll focus on the 800.

Results:
Mile: 5:35 2nd female
500: 1:28 6th female

Shoes: Streakfly 2 (not ready to race in spikes this early in the season)

Nike Vomero Premium

Full review by David and Andrea: https://www.doctorsofrunning.com/2025/11/nike-vomero-premium-review-2025.html

The Nike Vomero Premium is a maximum cushioned daily training shoe that has the goal of providing an "anti-gravity sensation" per Nike. The shoe has a towering stack height of 55mm in the heel (men's 10) with an incredibly bouncy ride. The shoe has a lot of sole flaring and a large rocker to accompany the stack height and provide for a more stable experience. The upper is very spacious without sacrificing lockdown. It is a lot of shoe that carries some weight, but it provides a very well-designed rocker for those logging long miles on the road.
