Welcome back to Keep On Running UK!
This week’s video sees us head back to Town Moor Parkrun to try out some Brooks running trainers. Although we got on okay with out Brooks Glycerin trainers, Johnny couldn’t hide the truth in his Brooks trainers review!
Thanks to the Brooks Run Happy Tour for allowing us to try the trainers, and to Town Moor Parkrun for hosting such a great event!
Thanks for watching and Keep on Running!

Brooks come in 4 widths, could be that Jonny's were too narrow rather than needing an 8.5? The Glycerines soften up nicely after a little while(about 40-50 miles)and seem to last well i have some at 450 miles that look pretty much new and still feel really comfy.
I have the Glycerin GTS20 and find them great. Really comfortable, lightweight and the guiderails (GTS) system definitely helps with stability, love them.
Have almost 1000 miles over 2 pairs of Ghost 14s used for everything bar trail. Been looking for something to reduce impact on long, slow runs. Glycerin are supposed to be softer than Ghost but haven't had chance to try them. Also looking for something between Vaporfly and Ghosts for the faster training sessions & was considering Hyperions. 😂
That's cool that you get to try on the shoes like that for a race situation. Was the race sponsored in some part by Brooks?
I like Brooks and have been wearing them for years. The Adrenaline is my "go-to" shoe but I think like Chris said, it was pretty ordinary workhorse. I think it is fairly budget friendly though, giving you a decent shoe for all around running. I recently upgraded to the Glycerin (non-GTS) and I like that one as well, but it was another $20 USD. I found that it is a decent shoe for harder efforts, but definitely not top of the line for racing. I think it is basically an Adrenaline with better foam.
Did a trail 5K race this weekend at an apple orchard. Definitely harder to race a trail run versus a road one. Beautiful course though. Keep up the videos!
Keeping up with shoe names and types doesn't seem to ever be in my future – the numbers, letters, names… confusing
This day was amazing, so funny and do think i was a bit harsh on the review, have to say though i genuinely thought we would of had to out ran that cow mid parkrun, hilarious day!
I'm deeply moved by your video! ° "Triumph emerges from relentless and unwavering dedication."
I think maybe that cow just wanted to be a parkrunner too! 🙂
