20 Mile Long Run in the Hoka Cielo X-1

The Hoka Cielo X-1 is a carbon plated marathon racing shoe designed for comfort and big bounce. Priced at $275, it competes with shoes like the Nike Alphafly 3, Saucony Endorphin Elite and On Cloudboom Strike. In this video, I give an overview of the Cielo X-1, take it for a 20 mile long run and let you know my thoughts on the shoe. I also take you through my pre-run preparation and post-run fueling.
