My first (and only) PB in marathon is 4:58 in December, 2024 with novablast 4. And now I am training for a sub4 marathon in this July. Should I buy Magic Speed 4?

In reply to Michael. All my PBs are almost in-line with yours, and I've run in all these shoes. The fact that you like the Cloudmonster means you'd probably prefer the Magic Speed. It's a firmer feel but it's fast. If you want more of a bouncy ride in a do-it-all shoe then go with the Deviate Nitro.

Currently inbetween the Magic Speed 4 and the Puma Deviate Nitro 3. What are your opinions on these to compared to each other. You said great thing about both.
Currently running in (speed work and races) On Cloudmonster 5-10k to HM, and despite what other ppl think I like how the monster feels on my foot. Tried the deviate nitro 2 elite and felt good. I have/had the Nimbus 25 as a daily easy miles trainer it was nice but a bit too bulky imo.
Looking for a shoe to replace the Cloudmonster for faster efforts and races. Current PBs 5k->19:40; 10k->42:07; HM->1:34; M->3:37

Thank you in advance in case you guys answer!

I have tried the 1’s and the 3’s, and wasn’t particularly impressed. However, I’m strongly considering one of the Metaspeeds for Marine Corps in October, so your impressing have me maaaaybe considering the 4’s.

Whether your thoughts on the Magic Speeds are good, bad, or indifferent, one thing is true – you can NEVER make too many Gob Bluth references.
