Good session and interesting test. Looking at your Strava for this, you appeared to run the same route in each shoe so no bias there - well assuming the tailwind on the return "fast" leg was not increasing? On the face of it though the Alphafly "wins" hands down with little in between the other two but, without any HR data, hard to quantify whether that was merely down to trying a lot harder in the Alphafly or an actual shoe effect or bit of both? In my own testing, I saw nothing in the Streakfly to think would be faster over even 5K than the NEXT%. Lower weight yes but not massively noticeable and still think 5K is a fair way and just found, as you did mention, that the NEXT% just "helps" more and is more cushioned and responsive than the Streakfly. Haven't tested the Alphafly of late but did tend to find the NEXT% and Alphafly similar but just prefer running in the NEXT% so have never used the Alphafly in a race as yet.
@BenParkes2 жыл бұрын
Yes.. as I don’t train with HR data, it’s hard to show effort. Plus doing a rep at 25-30k is quite different from 5-10k elapsed of the run. But tried to keep it roughly the same. Will see what happens in my 5k race on Friday.. would usually go vaporfly, but going to try the Streakfly.. then will be able to do a full review!

Depends a lot about your running style and weight, hiw much kilometers you get from your shoes. I am somewhat lightweight and resonably ok form and I have run around 1500-2000km already with my Vaporflys! Have just recently (last couple hundred kilometers...) started to feel that maybe it is ok chance to new pair (witch I have had in my closet for a year or so) and maybe do some comparison. The height of the shoe has already got down like 6-8mm comparing to new pair of Vapors, so most likely cushoning is not the best anymore. Well, has not bothered that much as I have not raced in over a year now, done just tempos and threshold paces and minority of speed work with these and felt still ok! Have not yet tried the alphaflys yet, have those also in my closet, thinking those would be my marathon/Ironman race shoes, but need some testing!

Alphafly to me is the GOAT shoe. The fit is perfect for my feet, with a large enough toe box (which is suprising for nike !) and the ride is extremely soft and bouncy, because the plat kinda pushes on the airpod, while on the vaporfly (and most carbon plated shoe) it pushes on the outsole so it feels firmer they're still fast for short distance (I got my mile PR in them) Idk why I waited so long to try them, only because they're sold as "marathon rac day only shoe", because they're versatile enough and still a bit durable They have everything I like about a shoe

Not sure how relevant the RRPs are right now: Nike's shop has the Alphafly going cheaper than the Vapourfly with a good selection of sizes. I went for the Alphas earlier this year for that reason. They felt fast from the first run, but they rubbed my arch enough to cause a bit of blistering after 8 km. I thought I would have to return them, but after breaking them in with another run or two and wearing them around the house a bit, the problem has gone away and I'm looking forward to doing my first marathon with them later this year.

Interesting to hear as I suffer from the same issue with the Alphafly l purchased the Alphafly to be my next Marathon shoe but have kind of set them aside for 10k races and under due to the arch rub issue (on the left side only). I have broken 5 mile, 5k and 10k PB's all in the Alphafly over the last few months so a bit of a shame about the arch rub issue. I am loving the Metaspeed Sky atm and hope to have a crack at my first Sub 90 Half in them on March 20th after doing a 1:31 training run (which included a 2 mile WU followed by a few tempo miles) in them a few weeks ago. It's looking like it will be a decision between the tried and tested RC Elite v2 and the Metaspeed Sky for my Spring Marathon shoe for me but it's good to hear that running longer distances in the Alpha may not be a permanent write off 👍😊 Looking forwards to seeing if the Endorphin Pro 3 and the New Balance SC Elite can offer an upgrade to my line up for the autumn and perhaps the Metaspeed Sky 2 could be with us by then too?

I have an issue nowadays with choosing my marathon shoe, for Bilbao in 1 month now for 2:55 or less if possible: I bought a pair of Vaporfly Next% Gyakusou on sale, and it was my "natural" choice, but during a long training session (37K) they bruise my ankles 😥😥... a lot! I think it was due to the massive laces that they come with. I changed the laces and will give another chance to them... I have a pair of Vaporfly 4% in which I made Sevilla 2 years ago in 3:07:09, with 100k only, that may be an option. And I have also a pair of Tempo Next, that I have been using for training and to race last weekend. They are very confortable, and I was tending to usem them instead of Vaporfly until I watched you video until the end.. 🤔🤔 What do you think about this options? And the community, any opinions and experience to share? Next% or 4% or Tempo???? Thanks to you all!

You can use any of them in road races. Not track races

I love to train in Asics Novablast, but my all time favorite for marathons are Vaporfly and New Balance RC Elite 2

Nice video Ben. Those alpha flies were so loud in the london marathon, worn by 1000s of runners. My NB elite v2 were silent in comparison. That's a big part of the feel of running for me. I've been using the nike invincible run for my long run and they are also bordering on too noisy. Is it the foam, or the sole?

I get it. I’m the only person who seems to have found the sweet spot for the ZF4. #bigbonedflatfootedrunner. Maybe I should do my own video with all 4 Flys.

Evening hope all’s well with you both?I run a 10k yesterday in just under thirty four minutes (hilly coarse)so I intended to get a recovery run in tonight but I don’t seem to be able to slow down enough meaning I’m not getting the benefits of a slow run I just don’t know how you and the likes of Seth are able to change down your speed ? Hope this isn’t to garbled cp🏃🏻♂️
