First run in the Hyperion 3. It was hot but fortunately not so humid. I’m still trying to acclimate to summer running, so I gave myself another easy run day between sessions. I didn’t think the Hyperion 3 would be a great choice for that, as the Hyperion has typically been a shoe that feels firm until you start running fast. but this new version really surprised me. There’s a softness to the cushion that is very un-Hyperion-like. But it’s still got a nice little bounce when you pick up the pace (I did some strides and some short bursts of moderate running. Nothing too intense though, as I wanted to keep today easy)
It’s an exciting change, but it complicates things. Is the Hyperion still a tempo shoe? Or is it a Ghost alternative? I’ll have to test this shoe for both easy miles and some workouts to see. Stay tuned.
