The Newton it is....

Yup, decided that I will take the Newton to the Marathon...

The Kinvara 2 is nice to train in, but I guess I will need the cushioning the Newton provides over the punishing 42km.

Counting down....

Haven't gone out shooting for a while....

Need to take my 150mm f2 for spin real soon......

Newton Motion vs Saucony Kinvara 2

Both are lightweight running shoes for people who have a fore-foot strike.

The Newton Motion is double the price of the Kinvara 2!!

After running with both, I find that I preferred the Newton over the Saucony simply because there is more cushioning and more 'springy' feel to the shoes - That is provided I am running on a relatively flat surface like East Coast Park. but if running on roads, I think the Kinvara 2 is a better choice.

Although my preference is towards the Newton, the Kinvara 2 actually is still a very good pair of shoes - it holds up well as a trainer and also as a race day shoe.

The next thing is to see how durable both shoes are, I'm alternating between them and see which one wears out faster. I do hope that the Newton hold up better as it costs twice as much!

Now I'm deciding which to wear during the Full Marathon.... ???
