Description
In this video, Alex compares 3 shoes from the Brooks Glycerin line up, the Glycerin 23, Glycerin Max 2, and Glycerin Flex, using STRYD power data to go beyond subjective feel and look at real, measurable running metrics.
By analyzing key STRYD data such as power, cadence, form power, ground contact time, vertical oscillation, and leg spring stiffness, this comparison highlights how each shoe behaves under the same runner, same conditions, and same effort.
Although these shoes share the same family name, they are designed for different purposes. This data-driven breakdown helps clarify how cushioning level, geometry, and ride characteristics influence running mechanics across easy runs, long runs, and steadier efforts.
If you’re deciding which Glycerin model makes the most sense for your training, this STRYD-based analysis will help you understand how each shoe truly performs and which one best fits your running style.
