Good shoe for marathon training

4/5

Overall

Did the job, gave me blisters during the Boston Marathon but not training leading up to it. Lots of cushion, and like the lower drop (8mm) compared to many other brands.

Overall

I started using the Triumph 10 because I needed a shoe that could handle a lot of miles on yhe hard and uneven surfaces of NYC. The Triumph 10/11 has been outstanding. I get up to 900 miles on a pair which is unheard of. I don't use the shoes for racing or event specific training. Only easy running mostly.
