What a cute cat!

I’ve always wanted to try trail shoes but I usually only see trails once or twice a year. I’d definitely go Hoka if I ever do get some.

Good morning. Come on, Tim. Step by step. You can run again in four weeks. Like from Spain. Have a great day.

These shoes seem to hold up very well. Nice job. It's great to see your new family member Remy in the background. She is a cutie. Take care.

Great video! I have the Hoka Speedgoat 5 GTX and they are awesome for rainy winter terrain. I usually do my “dry” trail running on my Hoka Challengers; which I absolutely love as well. Cheers!

Hello Remy! It's always exciting to get a new furry family member. I got my first cat during junior year of college and after graduating, I got my second cat. They are both completely different personalities but I always come home to see them cuddling in the window. And I recently began fostering a dog. Sometimes it feels like a mini zoo but I love the dynamic and they all get along swell 😊. I'm glad to hear Remy is making fast friends. Great video as always!

Love the fits and very well-presented. Hi to Bella!

Tim! Where did you find this VO2 max workout for the bike? I have Garmin as well.

I wish you did setup😢

Original was 4mm drop. They moved to 8mm drop in v2. V3 drop is also 8mm. Hopefully you will use them for Chicago.

Just secured the off white ones for $125 this Saturday at an Adidas Outlet. So random because I was snooping around the ultraboosts also on sale and came across my size of the adios pro 3 just left atop other shoes and immediately realized what those were so I sat down with other shoes I had in my possession and tried three different pairs on at the store and my hunch was the best ones to get were the adios pro 3 as this was a super buy. Now going home and looking at the outsole I was like oh oh maybe I should take them back. But after seeing many 100 mile plus reviews on KZbin I was still not convinced until I came across your review and because of your experience I’m choosing to keep mines as of today so thank you for your work you do. I can’t wait now to get them dirty. 🔥 🔥 🔥

From what I am seeing this is definitely well thought off shoe. I am glad they sent you a pair.

Hi Tim, when you get greenlight to start your Chicago marathon training, if you can incorporate a period of base building, gradually increasing duration and intensity. I am concerned that if you jump back to an aggressive plan you might re-injure yourself because your tissue capacity is starting from diminished state. Maybe you should choose a far less aggressive goal this time designed to get to the finish line injury free as opposed to have some PR or BQ goal in mind. Just play safe this time and there will be many more more marathons in your future to get faster. Just saying. Best wishes!

My feet just don’t like Vaporflys. VF2s and VF3s always cause tendon pain in my foot after a run. I switched to the adidas and couldn’t have been happier with them. But there is so much I love about the Vaporflys and wish they worked better for me.

the modern shoes are dog ugly units

Great idea for her, Tim! I hope you're doing well. :)

We’d love to see a Run Tall shoe battle with these and the Hoka Ceilo!

Good video review.

Good video.

I tried it but end up returning it because my lateral ankle bones was hitting the upper part of it.It hurts. It's a shame because I like the color and cushion of it. The previous models I like because they put cushions around the ankle so the upper part doesn't really hit your ankle bones. I believe they still do it for the Vaporfly 3. I don't understand why they didn't do it for the Alphafly 3.I love. the previous models! It's a good thing I bought 2 pairs of 1st gen model and 2 pairs of 2nd gen model.

Hi Tim, my veiw is exactly the same, I've done about 50 more miles on mine and about the same wear . I cant really see it them making it passed the 400 mile mark but we'll see . But they certainly are comfortable and fast and keep your feet cool . Ive got a second new pair waiting for when they are pooped 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

AF V3 was a massive upgrade for me. I struggled at the marathon distance in the AF V1 during the last 5k, calves just couldn't handle the 4mm drop. AF V2 worked really well in my next marathon, but I found them bulky and heavy in the last 10k...crazy wind and pouring rain probably didn't help. I still love the AF V2 for key long runs as a training shoe. The AF V3 has been amazing, it's so smooth and the transition is seamless. Used them a few weeks ago during a 10k TT and dropped my 10k PB by 2mins and I didn't even notice or think about the shoes....which is awesome! I'm running my spring marathon this sunday in the AF V3, and I will be running Chicago in the AF V3 as well. I suspect you will love them as well!

Your insights on fit and bladder hose mods are excellent and concise !!! You sold me on this pack over the Orange Mud !!! Thank You !!! Enjoy Life ....Be Well !!!

You’re fooling yourself if you think that your doctor can look at MRI results and tell you exactly when you will be ready to start running again. Four weeks is just an estimate. For a hip injury, the test is whether you can do single leg pogo hops on the injured leg without pain. If you can, you are ready to start a return-to-running program.

Only have had 1 WO run in mine and LOVE them!!! HR was so much lower and pace was 5-8" faster than expected. I think they will be a great, efficient marathon shoe for me. My fastest marathon is in the VP 3 though. I skipped AF V2 because of all the negative reviews. LOL I'm buying the Olympic colorway AF 3 as well in July for Chicago. Won't be long, 4 weeks and you are back (just not in these shoes)!!!!!!!

I hope they work for you. I've gotten blisters from mine. Thinking of getting some of those blister patches for the insole. Looking forward to running Chicago too!

I got both the AF3 Proto and the Fastpack. Both versions are awesome for my longest runs including the London Marathon ( I noticed a lot of runners in them). You will enjoy them a lot.

you're teasing the heck out of yourself taking those out the box already! start the timer: FOUR WEEKS.

Good luck with your Alphafly 3. First Like to Tim. Have a nice day.

on the mend! the coffee cup on the dashboard like that-- you're a wild one Tim! haha

Im in the same boat as you got recently diagnosed with a femoral neck stress reaction. Hoping to start my return to run soon as well

Yeah Tim it can be a bit of a quandary sometimes which pain we can run with and which we can’t, but no question stress factors are NOT to be toyed with!! STAY PATIENT!!!! 💪🏻🚴🏻‍♀️💪🏻

Been running injury free for a few years now. Couple weeks ago thought that it would be good idea to do some core work exercises which I’ve not done before. Followed a couple of ‘ easy ‘ core workout sessions on KZbin and hey presto!…. groin strain ! 🤦‍♂️so no running now for a few weeks. So much for my ‘good idea’ 😂 Hang in there Tim you’re not alone! Ian 🇬🇧

Excellent news, Tim. !!!! Never give up!!!!. Like from Spain 🇪🇸. Have a good day.

Happy belated Birthday. 🥳 The card is super cute. It takes patience for marathon training, same goes for injury recovery. I fully feel your itch to return to running but it’s important to follow what your body tells you. Getting healthy is paramount.

Get well soon!

I am glad to see it is slowly getting better. Personally if I had your recent injuries I would not be jumping right back into a marathon block even if the doctor said it was ok. Marathon blocks are taxing! Good luck.

Prolly shouldn't have worked through the other hip injury. When you were getting ready for Chicago and had pain you most likely stressed the other side to make up for the bursitis hip which stressed the current. Moral of the story... listen to your body. It's taking to you.

Happy Belated Birthday!

Get better ASAP ! The four weeks will pass quickly !

Have you addressed ways to avoid this type of injury in the future? Do we need to mostly increase recovery time, and avoid over training by monitoring resting pulse rate?

So I found your channel looking for insight on the Garmin training from the Connect app. I was wondering if it helped you get a BQ? Are you going to use it for Chicago?

BEST & most DETAILED review for this product. Tim, you convinced me. Thank you for your EXCELLENT review.

More trash from a garbage company

Are these good for standing. I'm on my feet a lot, and I'm a bit heavier guy. Which one would you recommend? Great comparison BTW

I am going to trade my Invincible's for those, for the next Carnival for sure...

Pretty cool looking recovery shoes. Tim. I hope your recovery is going well. Have a great weekend.

OH yeah me I LOVE the look of these and would love to have a pair , despite the fact that I can't really justify yet another pair of casual Hokas on top of all the adorable ones I already have... like my gorgeous Bondi Suede😍and my Clifton Embroidery 🥰!!! The ones I have are such brilliant shoes for travelling, hours of sightseeing and those exhausting museum visits, and I imagine these ones sure would be too. I was thinking maybe maybe a pair of the Hoka Hopara though 'cause they're open, so better for the summer!

All the best with your recovery, Tim. Like from Spain 🇪🇸. Have a good day.
