In today’s video, Josh and Thys review the Mizuno Neo Zen 2, a versatile daily trainer they both used extensively while preparing for the Valencia 10K at the start of the 2026 season. This review is based on real training mileage, easy runs, steady efforts, and lighter quality sessions leading into race week.
