My Gear

Short list of the gear I am using:

Shoes:

ASICS Gel Kayano 18 (retired) – road running
ASICS Gel Kayano 19 – road running
Salomon Mission XR Blue – trail running, tried, but did not work for me at all
ASICS Fuji Gel Trabuco 2 – my trail shoes of choice at the moment
Inov8 Road-X LITE 155 – free shoes that I won as a prize, too minimalist for me but using them for short easy jogs on track
Brooks Cascadia 9 (retired) – Trying something new for a change
Brooks Cascadia 10 (retired) – not a perfect replacement for now hard to find Trabuco 2, too narrow toe box for me
Hoka One One ATR Challenger – loved them at first but somehow not too keen on running in them any more
ASICS Fuji Gel Trabuco 4
Mizuno Wave Mujin 3
Mizuno Wave Mujin 4 – pity they don’t make these anymore !!!
