Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 vs Ten Thousand Interval Short
Sqwod verdict
Our pick: Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 takes it — 81 vs 77.
Both are strong — the call comes down to what you prioritise:
- Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 — You coach runners who want one shoe for daily miles, workouts and races, without the stiffness of a carbon plate.
- Ten Thousand Interval Short — You want one durable, high-mobility do-everything short and don't mind paying about €80.
Our pick 
Saucony Endorphin Speed 5
81Score · Medium
from €160
Still one of the most versatile plated trainers you can buy, now softer, bouncier and roomier. It costs more than the discounted Speed 4, and durability has slipped.
Ten Thousand Interval Short
77Score · Medium
from €79.95
A durable, highly mobile do-it-all training short that reviewers rate well — now sold direct to Germany in euros, but at a higher price and with mixed post-sale support.
