FAQs

Is the Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 good for beginners?

While accessible, it is engineered for speed and efficiency. Beginners may prefer a more stable, traditional trainer, but those looking to start speed work will find it very helpful.

Can I use these for trail running?

No. These are designed for road and track surfaces. The sole is not built for the uneven, rocky terrain found on trails.

How long should the shoes last?

Typically, performance trainers like the Endorphin Speed 5 last between 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.

Do these run true to size?

Generally, yes. If you are between sizes, it is recommended to opt for the slightly larger size to account for foot expansion during exercise.

Are these carbon-plated?

The Endorphin Speed 5 utilizes a nylon plate, which offers a balance of flexibility and snap, making it more comfortable for daily training compared to rigid carbon plates.

Troubleshooting

Feeling of instability at slow paces

The shoe is designed for speed. Ensure you are striking the ground with a mid-to-forefoot focus, which activates the plate's propulsive features.

Upper feels tight or restrictive

Adjust the lacing pattern to a 'runner's loop' or loosen the midfoot laces slightly to accommodate foot swelling during long runs.

Pros and Cons

  • Exceptional energy return from PWRRUN PB foam

  • Durable yet lightweight construction
  • Smooth transitions suitable for long-distance training

  • Requires time to adapt to the propulsive plate feel
  • Limited to road or track surfaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Saucony Endorphin Speed 5, proper care is essential. Since these are performance trainers, they are best suited for asphalt and track surfaces rather than technical trails.

  1. Break-in Period: Take 2-3 short, easy runs to allow the foam and plate to adjust to your specific foot strike pattern.
  2. Cleaning: Hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Never machine wash or machine dry, as high heat can degrade the foam composition.
  3. Drying: Air dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources to prevent material warping.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the PWRRUN PB cushioning.
