Blog · Run161 – Lars-Christian Simonsen · summarized
PositiveLars-Christian Simonsen praises one of the most comfortable uppers he has run in, a smooth ride below 4:00/km and no outsole wear at 110 km. It is too firm for recovery and slow runs and exposes form flaws when tired.

PositiveFinds the Hyperion Tempo more versatile than the Liberate, with a bit more cushion all round so it works beyond tempo sessions, and a first-class fit.
