In this video I’m chatting through the next two running shoes I’m lining up to properly put to the test in 2026, plus a bonus pair that’s also on the way. It’s not a full review yet—this one is all about what’s coming into the rotation, why I’m interested in them, and what I’m hoping they’ll bring to the table once I’ve got some proper miles logged. I’m genuinely excited because I feel like I’m coming at shoe testing with a fresh perspective, and I’ve got a hunch these will slot in nicely alongside the shoes I already rely on for marathon training weeks, workouts, and the day-to-day easy stuff. I also run through how I’m going to schedule the testing and reviews, because I want it to be clear when you can expect first impressions versus when I’ll have enough long-run and session data to give you the honest verdict. As always, my aim is to keep it practical: what the shoes are like in real marathon prep, how they fit into a rotation, and whether they’re actually worth your money once the hype dies down.
