ASICS Megablast Reviews

Perfect for sub-threshold work; set two half-marathon PBs in it.

A great long run and quasi-race shoe; ran a 1:34 half in it.

Loves it for tempo days and kept it over the Evo SL.

Their speed shoe: very responsive, firm foam that excels at faster paces; the thin meshy upper isn't that comfortable.

Flat-footed and unable to tolerate plated shoes, they call the Megablast the best shoe they have owned by far: fast and, for them, stable enough.

Bought it on sale over the Nike Vomero Plus and has no regrets after 180 km, using it mainly for speed work and racing.

Far better than the Superblast 2 at speed; for steady tempo they still marginally prefer it.

They set 3K, 5K and 10K PBs in it, so it doubles as a race shoe.

After 176 miles of marathon training and race day it felt fast and bouncy and held up, though the upper was problematic; worth buying in the right size.

Ran a 10K personal best in it at about 3:45 per km, finishing with a 3:30 km and speed to spare. Recommends it to anyone wanting a responsive, bouncy shoe that goes the distance without a carbon plate.
