Brooks Hyperion Max 3 Try On Session

Last week we headed up to the new running track in Kilogget Park. It was an early start at 6am to meet up with the InnerFight Team and our Brooks Rep, Ben. The purpose of the event was to try out the new Brooks Hyperion Max 3 at a typical InnerFight track session. This involved a 400m track run, at our own 5k pace, a 25 second rest and then do it all again! InnerFight meet up here every week, so it was great to see what these sessions are like. Well worth getting up for! 

What is the Brooks Hyperion Max 3?

This shoe is for runners looking to optimise their training journey so they can run fast on race day. The Hyperion Max 3 is built to deliver speed and protection with DNA GOLD cushioning, RapidRoll Rocker, and a strategically constructed midsole, suited for workouts ranging from track work to long runs.

What is DNA GOLD?

DNA GOLD 100% PEBA cushioning is the lightest, softest, and highest energy-return foam Brooks has ever made. A high-stack combination of DNA GOLD and DNA FLASH v2 cushioning, paired with the SpeedVault plate helps create game-changing protection, propulsion, and recovery.

What people thought of the Brooks Hyperion Max 3

There was a real buzz on the morning with everyone trying out the same shoes. When we asked people aftwards what they thought of the Hyperions, springy and bouncy were words that were used a lot. Eleanor (aka El's Juicy Balls) said "OMG, absolutely sensational". She hadn't worn Brooks runners before but after this track session, the Hyperion Max 3 will definitely be purchased! "The comfiest pair of running shoes I've ever worn" said another runner. Light, effective, speedy were other words we heard people use. 

What Mark thought of the Hyperion Max

"I'm liking the updates to this run shoe. The new foam is more responsive and bouncier and the nylon plate gives a good snap, without the stiffness of a carbon runner. This is a really good tempo shoe or a super trainer. All in all, the improvements are positive."
