  "account": "The Brooks Ghost Amp proved to be a versatile and lightweight daily trainer that I would happily purchase over the Ghost 18. With its livelier midsole foam, lower heel-to-toe drop, and SpringRamp technology, it provided a smoother and more energetic ride for my daily runs. Weighing in at just 9.3oz, it was also 1.4oz lighter than its Ghost 18 counterpart. The thick knit upper offered ample padding and support, while the forefoot rocker and firmer foam added some propulsion to my toe-offs. While it may not be as plush or comfortable for long distances as some rivals, the Ghost Amp still delivered a natural stability and support that made it a reliable choice for daily use. Priced at $150 in the U.S., it offered good value for the category, competing with other popular daily trainers in its price range.",
  "summary": "The Brooks Ghost Amp is a more energetic daily trainer than the Ghost 18 and a welcome addition to Brooks’ line-up, but it faces stiff competition from other brands.",
