Questions answered
FAQ
Is the Saucony Ride good for daily training?
It is one of the best-regarded daily trainers in its price range. The PWRRUN cushioning handles high mileage well, and the smooth ride rewards consistent training. Not designed for speed work, but excellent for easy and moderate-pace runs.
How does the Ride compare to the Brooks Ghost?
Very similar in purpose and execution. The Ride tends to feel slightly more responsive, while the Ghost is slightly softer. Both are excellent neutral daily trainers. Personal preference and fit usually determine the choice.
Does the Saucony Ride run true to size?
Yes, true to size with a slightly wider fit than Nike or ASICS. Saucony in general accommodates wider feet better than some competitors.
Is the Ride good for beginners?
Excellent for beginners. The neutral, cushioned ride is forgiving and comfortable for new runners building mileage. It does not try to correct your gait, which is appropriate for most runners.
How many miles can you get from the Saucony Ride?
Most runners report 300-500 miles before the cushioning noticeably degrades. This is on par with other daily trainers in the category. Heavier runners may see the lower end of that range.
