22 Mile Long Run in the New Balance SC Pacer v2
July 17, 2024
watch on youtubeThe New Balance SC Pacer v2 is a newly released racer designed to be a low profile alternative to max stack marathon shoes. Priced at $200, it uses the same carbon plate and 100% poly ether block amide midsole foam as other mainstream race shoes on the market, but it has a significantly lower stack height. In this video, I give an overview of the SC Pacer v2, take it for a 22 mile long run and let you know whether the differences here make it a viable training and racing shoe for me and other runners.
Here are all the product I highlighted throughout. This video is brought to you by our friends at Mint Hill Fuelmongers, LLC. Use my Running Warehouse links below to support the channel:

I also remembered these are the best summer running socks I have. I only have one pair but they are way lighter than the max cushioned Feetures: https://www.runningwarehouse.com/OS1st_AC4_Active_Comfort_No_Show_Socks/descpage-OSACNS.html?from=supwell
