In today’s episode of Running with James, we break down one of the hottest topics in hybrid and endurance racing right now:
The release of the new Puma Deviate Nitro Elite HYROX race shoe.
With major brands officially stepping into the HYROX-specific market, what does this mean for race day strategy? Is a dedicated HYROX shoe necessary? And how should athletes think about choosing between a carbon-plated racer, a hybrid trainer, or a more traditional run shoe?
We dive into:
What makes the Puma HYROX drop significant for the sportRace day shoe vs training shoe — why they shouldn’t always be the sameCarbon plate benefits (and when they’re overkill)Grip, stability, and compromised running in HYROXOur personal favorite race day shoes right nowWhat we actually train in week to week
If you’re preparing for HYROX, a marathon, or just trying to dial in your gear, this episode will help you make smarter decisions — not just trend-driven ones.
Because the right shoe won’t fix bad training…
But the wrong shoe can definitely slow you down.
