I Finally Tried the Topo Cyclone 2: First Run Review
March 18, 2024
watch on youtubeThe Topo Athletic Cyclone 2 is a lightweight training shoe that also happens to be one of the most highly requested shoes for review. It marries the spirit of an old-school racing flat with the foam technology in high-stack marathon shoes like the Nike Vaporfly and Saucony Endorphin Pro 3. In this video, I give an overview of the Cyclone 2, take it out for a half marathon pace workout and give my initial thoughts on the ride and where it fits into the market and your rotation.

A Prayer in Spring by Robert Frost
Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers today;
And give us not to think so far away
As the uncertain harvest; keep us here
All simply in the springing of the year.
Oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white,
Like nothing else by day, like ghosts by night;
And make us happy in the happy bees,
The swarm dilating round the perfect trees.
And make us happy in the darting bird
That suddenly above the bees is heard,
The meteor that thrusts in with needle bill,
And off a blossom in mid air stands still.
For this is love and nothing else is love,
The which it is reserved for God above
To sanctify to what far ends He will,
But which it only needs that we fulfil.
