A marathon is prepared well before the starting line. There are easy runs, long distances, sessions where you test your race pace, and, finally, the big day. The HOKA Marathon Pack collection brings together shoes designed to accompany you through each of these stages.
Clocking the kilometers: Clifton Pro
Marathon preparation requires consistency. For daily runs and long distances, the Clifton Pro relies on generous cushioning and a smooth stride. It is the model to consider when the goal is to rack up kilometers in comfort, week after week.
Picking up the pace: Mach 7 and Mach X3
When training intensifies, the Mach 7 provides a lightweight and responsive feel. It is well-suited for rhythm sessions as well as runs where you simply want to run faster.
The Mach X3 takes this concept further. Its responsive foam and Pebax® plate make it a partner for tempos, intervals, and marathon-pace sessions. It allows you to work on speed during training before choosing your shoe for race day.
Race day: Rocket X 3 and Cielo X1 3.0
To take the start line with a time goal in mind, the Rocket X 3 combines PEBA foam, a carbon plate, and an outsole designed to offer traction. It is aimed at runners looking for a dynamic racing shoe.
The Cielo X1 3.0 completes the selection of racing models in the Marathon Pack. If you are hesitant between the two, the best choice will be the one whose fit and feel suit you at your marathon pace. Nothing replaces a test run before the race.
A rotation adapted to your preparation
You don’t need to wear the same shoe for all your sessions. The Clifton Pro can handle your easy kilometers, the Mach 7 or Mach X3 your speed training, and then the Rocket X 3 or Cielo X1 3.0 your race goal. The essential thing is to choose models adapted to your feet and to test your competition pair during your preparation.
Your next marathon begins in training. Discover the HOKA Marathon Pack collection at Boutique Endurance, online or in-store, and find the shoes that will take you to the finish line.
