The Saucony Endorphin Azura is a lightweight and versatile training shoe that comes into its own perfectly during long runs with tempo blocks and faster interval training. The shoe is also being enthusiastically tested within Team 4 Mijl .
Jetske from Team 4 Mijl says: “I mainly use this shoe for long runs with tempo blocks. For that, I find it the ideal shoe; it feels light and is very responsive. You get a lot of energy back while running, which makes it perfect for tempo blocks. For these types of training, I don't need to bring an extra pair of shoes for the faster pace. I would recommend this shoe to the runner who does interval training in addition to just long runs.”
Teammate Bram from Team 4 Mijl is also positive: “The Saucony Endorphin Azura is a very nice and lightweight training shoe. The fit is good and not too narrow; it feels very comfortable on the feet right away. The first few meters felt immediately nice and bouncy and direct, making it, in my opinion, a perfect shoe for slightly faster training intervals. I prefer not to do every training session in a shoe with a carbon plate, and the Azura is great for that! It feels like a soft training shoe but still gives energy back.”
