The Asics Superblast 2 and Novablast 5 are the two of the brands' top options for marathon training. At $140, the Novablast 5 is the entry-level option, while the $200 Superblast 2 is the heavy hitter. In this video, I compare them both now that they're past 100 miles each and let you know how they've held up.
