Brooks RAVENNA 2 
Posted: 26/11/11
'Nice amount of cushioning front and back, good for distance.'
Strengths:
Lots of cushioning and spring in the front of the trainer plus good level of response. Flexible throughout but decent level of support
Weaknesses:
A little big but that is only because I had to go to size 10 as no half sizes.
Overall:
Really good pair of trainers. I did initially buy Adidas Sequence 4 but had so many blisters took them back to sweatshop, 8 pairs tested these came out well on top! Very happy good for half marathon and 10Ks.

Adidas adiZero Tempo 4 
Posted: 09/09/11
'Cracking lightweight shoe that is great for 10K races'
Strengths:
Nice and lightweight with a fair amount of cushioning. Provides good response and enough support to help counter mild over pronation. Sometimes you forget you are wearing them in the race!
Weaknesses:
Not enough cushioning for longer races but perhaps that is due to me being a bigger runner at 14 stone. Feel long and narrow at times.
Overall:
A cracking pair of trainers that give good response and enough cushioning for road running, ideal for 10Ks. Good for speed training.

Adidas Supernova Sequence 4 
Posted: 09/09/11
'supportive and ideal for the road, may need getting used to due to fit on heel.'
Strengths:
nice cushioning combined with firm ride is good. On roads they are great and it is easy to clock up the miles.
Weaknesses:
I need stability trainers but these at times feel over constricting especially at the heel. They feel heavy on the foot despite being a relatively light trainer. Not good for country jaunts as I found out in the rain last week.
Overall:
I am going to perservere with these trainers but I am not entirely sure they are the best adidas trainers I have purchased. However, on the road they perform well and will be handy for longer races when the cushioning will be much appreciated. I do seem to have a better running stride so will have to wait and see.

Adidas adiZero Tempo 4

'Nice lightweight trainer that is surprisingly responsive'
Strengths:
Nice and lightweight, decent cushioning front and back. Responsive and feels okay doing longer distances.
Weaknesses:
So far none to mention
Overall:
Having searched for a decent pair of trainers for some time matching lightweight, responsive, suitable for over pronation these seem to do the trick.
