The Hoka Mach X 2 is a plated training shoe designed to offer speed and support for long miles. Priced at $190, it competes with shoes like the Brooks Hyperion 2 ($190) and Puma Deviate Nitro 3 ($160). In this video, I give an overview of the Mach X 2, take it out for my final long run of the training block and let you know my thoughts on the shoe at 50 miles. I also reflect on the Chicago Marathon training block.
