When I got gifted these brand new Hoka Mach x 2 not only was I truly grateful, but I was so excited because I heard these fast shoes were more aggressive!
I’m happy to report: are they ever!
I’ve enjoyed running in them for both short and longer distances and I feel like they’re amazing! Because of the Pebax plate design you find yourself focusing your running on your forefoot, which is definitely where I feel good and strong in my stride. (Most runners land on their heels, which is fine, but it’s great when you don’t do that!)
The Hoka Mach x 2 still has the Hoka cushion we all love, that’s transforming the sport, but are light and speedy—perfect for your tempo road workouts. I love doing my tempo runs on the track and I definitely will be lacing these up for my workouts leading up to my marathon. I can highly advise for you to do the same. As a fan of Hoka, they won’t let you down.
Also, let’s be honest: these speedy Hokas are also so cute, which is not that important, but is one of the things I love about Hoka! Good design just makes me feel good when I have them on. The Mach x 2 has awesome taste in colour design and their slogan, “be the bird—run free, be free,” really hits home for me. The whole package resonates in a way that makes me love to run.
To conclude before I head out on my run, if you need a light fast tempo shoe with a kick, search no more and pick up a pair of Mach x 2! You won’t regret it. And, on a personal note, thanks Hoka, you made this human definitely feel like she was flying!!
