I do elite 2 only for racing so I can feel that boost. I just ran Houston (my first marathon) and I'd say those shoes are really a cheat code, keep the magic for the race!

I think if you like them and know that you have a use case for them and will use them, scoop up a pair before they're gone. I got back into running in 2022 and if I would've known that my favorite sho
The endorphins elites are ridiculously unstable at speeds that slow.
