[@jh230377]

5K - Adidas Takumi Sen 9 10K - Saucony Endorphin Speed 3 - got a PB in this. Half Marathon - Adidas Adios Pro 3 Marathon - Nike Alphafly 3 Thankuchen

[@runebohnjensen9116]

I just ran NYC Marathon in 2:47:14 in the Alphafly 3. Loved it 🇺🇸🌟😀 Thank you for a great summary 🙏

[@EDDBUD]

[@paulmulks]

Great time, congrats 👏🏻

[@skywalk3x]

Congrats man that’s an awesome time!

[@Ozzy1984_]

Impressive time.

[@29.97df]

I have only been running 5k's in Asics Metaspeed Sky Paris and was almost breaking 20min. But last 5k I was travelling and signed up on a whim and used my Asics Kayano Lite 3 training shoes and went 30 sec slower despite being a flatter course.

[@EDDBUD]

The sky Paris is a quite amazing shoe

[@Chris_Hannan]

I need to get me some Sky Paris then. I just broke 20mins in my Superblasts 2. Excited to see what a carbon plate and a few more weeks of training can do for me

[@Gary2329]

I've found the Hoka Rocket X2 to be just superb for Half Marathons. Responsive, comfortable and with a great race rocker. For Marathons I've always favoured the Adidas Adizero Pro 3, it's a shoe that needs some tinkering but once you get it right it hits the spot every time soI'm really looking forward to the Pro 4.

[@thirsk3]

Doctor Martins for every distance. Hands down the best.

[@EDDBUD]

:)

[@morganpierce007]

Yes the Eddbud will be doing Manchester. I’m from Ireland and skipping over in April to run the marathon. Hope to catch you for a photo. Cheers for the great content.

[@EDDBUD]

Sounds great!

[@johnhiggins674]

Fast R Nitro Elite 2’s for every race distance for me Ed. Love them. Takumi Sen 8’s for interval and tempo sessions, occasional parkrun. They were no 1 before the Pumas. Before that, still using for easy runs, the amazing Adidas Adizero Adios Pro 2’s. With 800 plus miles they are still so comfortable. I’ve had to apply some replacement bits of rubber though. 😅

[@eagle63-94]

J'ai eu la version 1, sensationnelles, meme un peu mieux que les endorphin pro (moins confortables, celles ci), les Puma ont un mesh très souple/fin parfait pour mes pieds larges. J'hésite à prendre le modèle 2 ou aller chez Hoka. Je me méfie des bitumes mouillés quand je fais de la vitesse

[@i.p2088]

I run my long run today in the Puma Fast R V2. Best upper of any shoe. Midsole amazing ❤❤❤

[@marga_asana2run]

Dankeschön 🎉 for the info 😊 I always run up to 10 k in the Nova 3 😂 Sometimes Adizero SL 2 and Hoka Mach 6. Not really racers, but I run an easy pace, so they are fine 😊

[@garyleem2000]

Hoka Rocket X2 is a marathon and 1/2 marathon winner for me! I’ve also been going back to my VaperFly 1’s and the Nitro Elite 1’s for 5k & 10k’s. Responsive and durable, never let me down!

[@SimonBanfield]

All my PBs are in the Superblast 2! I do have a new pair of Takumi Sen 9s though, so might throw them at a parkrun this weekend with your recommendation ringing in my ears.

[@EDDBUD]

Give them a whirl!

[@Stevenc1984]

I shall be there in Manchester Edd. I might have been overly ambitious on my predicted time, but he who dares wins!

[@EDDBUD]

Excellent. Beers are on and some light conversation.

[@steveh8758]

For me 5k and 10k puma deviate nitro elite 3 and for half mathron and over that the alphafly 3 Although I think I could use both the alphafly and puma at any distances I Really want to try the puma fast r because I love deviate nitro elite so much The ASICS meta speed sky Paris where a bit to firm for me and not bouncy enough And the Same goes for the saucony endorphin elite

[@jq5890]

Great vid as always Ed, I'm a slow runner, though been loving using the Alphafly V1 for 5k, 10k & Half Marathon distances. Comfortable, cushioned, protecting & propelling shoe throughout. Vaporfly V2 aswell in the past for 5k's as theyre super light, propulsive & come in nice colour schemes. Love your vids in general, soothing & relaxing, Thanks Edd 👍

[@EDDBUD]

Great to hear!

[@TheHutchRuns]

5k - Metaspeed Sky Paris or Hoka Rocket X2, 10k - Metaspeed Sky Paris or Alphafly 3, Half Marathon- Alphafly 3, Marathon - Alphafly 3

[@wesmcgowan2873]

I couldn't agree more with your take on the Endorphin Elite for a 5k Edd, I absolutely love that shoe for all distances, and it's currently a front runner for my 1st Marathon in Manchester in April too👌 see you there Edd! 😁🏃

[@EDDBUD]

Hope to see you there!

[@runebohnjensen9116]

How would the Puma DNE3 hold up if used as a long run/tempo trainer?

[@ATREU850]

Definitely love the zoom fly 6 🏃💨

[@strength4all185]

Had a couple of runs in the Zoom Fly 6 now and once I got the first run done and understood how the shoe operates, I can see it being a great 10k option. It almost feels more Alphafly than the Alphafly 3. The Kipchoge colour is really good and there is a hint of minty freshness through the upper mesh from the green insole. I think the plastic overlay also has a slight hint to it.

[@justin3017]

Good stuff. Thanks Ed!

[@ATREU850]

I recently broke 90 in the half i got 1:27:24 in Alphafly 3 it felt so good to finally get there next is sub 18 5k (currently at 18:08)

[@johnholst]

Love your content Edd! Thanks!

[@EDDBUD]

My pleasure!

[@adamh3246]

So many beautiful shoes... I cannot possess them all

[@BoardsDarkglasses]

My PBs are in: 1km - Superblast 1 5km - Novablast 4 10km - Metaspeed Sky Plus HM - Metaspeed Sky Plus Marathon - Superblast 1 50km - Novablast 4 All Asics!

[@ATREU850]

I have been using the Alphafly 3 for all race distances however and pr’d in all

[@Manuel-901]

Hi. My vote goes to: Saucony endorphin pro 4(Marathon) and the Puma Deviate nitro elite 3( Half Marathon). Like to EDDBUD. Have a good day.

[@KarlKalson]

Just ran my personal record in Cologne Marathon at 3:27 in the saucony pro 4. Got no blister or hotspots and was moving well the day after

[@EDDBUD]

Superb running!

[@kennethmonroe6939]

Nike Vaporfly V1 or V2 for any distance.

[@davey7164]

The zoom fly 6 in black is gorgeous !

[@EDDBUD]

Yes it’s a tremendous release

[@i.p2088]

Love the Mach X2 ❤

[@willwilling4728]

I went with the Alpha Fly 3 for my HM shoe. I tested the Saucony Pro 4 and the Meta Speed Sky Paris before picking up the Alpha Fly and I'm glad I pulled the trigger on the Nike. I wanted the Sky Paris to be my HM shoe. I think it's a faster shoe and accelerates faster but my left foot didn't like the Meta Speed. So I ran the wet streets of Valencia in the Alpha Fly 3 and everything went great.

[@tommoore3292]

Puma nitro elite 3s are amazing

[@RoshanFernandez-md5cf]

Great video Ed!! I think the VF1 for 5k, VF3 for 10k and AF3 for half and full marathons. Shout out to the Hoka Cielo X1 for marathon runner up 🙌🏽

[@brokenfreddy1262]

I often use different shoes just cos I like to try different shoes..if I want something special for a particular race I will always go for the NB elite V3 or the hoka rocket x2..both are guaranteed to give me the best,no excuses ride on any race of any distance..

[@clen7206]

Good shout for that Link Wray album - great tunes! Thanks Edd

[@EDDBUD]

Rock on!

[@TolunayOrkun]

I feel Vaporfly 3 while possibly not as aggressive as Vaporfly 1/2, still a good shoe to be included in 10k to Marathon distances. I feel the same for Hoka Rocket X2.

[@scottmac1977]

We do a lot of 10 milers in Dorset, always a tricky distance to get right. Sticking with Takumis for now.

[@markknee4421]

Great video as usual, Mr B! Awesome that you're doing Manchester 2025. I am too, but I'll be a little way behind you, aiming for the hallowed sub 4.

[@EDDBUD]

I’m aiming for a 3:15 if I can. Should be my plan a

[@Run_Like_a_T-Rex]

me too!

[@Ozzy1984_]

I'm also doing manchester 25, and will probably wear my alphafly 3 in volt, like yours. I've also got saucony endorphin 4s, and Adidas adios pro 3, and hola circa X1, so I've got lots of options haha. I should probably stop watching your channel and buying shoes. BUT I won't!

[@mawilliams777]

There is so much I like about the Mach x2 its just to tight across the top of the foot, I get pins and needles across the bottom of my feet. It’s still fast, comfortable and light, just not a great fit for myself

[@Ozzy1984_]

Its crazy how many of us in this chat ate doing manchester 25. We will all be running together and wont have a clue who the others are. Either way, i wish you all the best experience, and times!

[@MrXeroth]

What would you recommend for raceday shoe for someone with mild pronation?

[@outerheaven8797]

Cool video Edd, but would be good to see a repeat of these recommendations, but combined with the Running Shoe Bargains series. Maybe picks from whatever was the latest thing in 2023? I'm definitely someone who will never spend more than £120 on trainers. Realise it's tricky thing to organise because whatever shoe you say is good, it's not going to be a good recommendation for everyone...eg. narrow Adidas shoes not ideal for wider feet. Keep doing what you're doing!

[@lucasgrrrr777]

1,70cm - 59kg - for 5km road, what is the best for me?

[@EDDBUD]

Sen 10 or any of the last few versions

[@neildixon6540]

One choice! The new Nike Zoom Fly 6 or the Saucony Pro 4? Which one Edd? Great video by the way! 👍

[@EDDBUD]

Personally for the money the zoom fly 6 is hard to beat! Thanks for the support Neil!

[@markhill8590]

5k-10k - Hoķa Rocket X2 or Asics Egde Paris HM - Hoka cielo X1 or Mizunos wave rebellion pro 2 Marathon - Asics Sky Paris would be my choice but still yet to run a marathon 🤣

[@ianstyring9602]

Edd, have you seen the black colourway for the Alphafly 3 that'll be released in the Spring? I'll have to grab a pair. They look great. Really happy you included the Saucony Endorphin Elite for the 5k. I used my pink pair two weeks ago on the Weymouth Parkrun and got a new PB. The grip isn't the best in damp/muddy conditions though. Looking forward to the full release of the Elite V2 next year, and it looks to be a good shoe for a rotation with the V1 (V1 short distance/V2 long distance).

[@EDDBUD]

@@ianstyring9602 I did spot that black version. Keen to try that elite 2. It looks super squashy

[@michaelkeegan3631]

Let's go with my pbs. 5k Asics HyperSpeed 10k Asics MagicSpeed 2 Half Adidas Boston 12 Full Puma Deviate Nitro Elite 3

[@gkott78]

Perhaps unpopular opinion here, but the Puma Fast Forward elite is a great 5k shoe for midfoot strikers. It looks odd, but i took a chance on it. Set my 5k pb in it. Its super light, the midsole has great cushion and the plate really gives that pop. I was shocked by it. i own the AF3, VF3, Cielo X1 and Im still giving it a 100% thumbs up for 5k.

[@EDDBUD]

You might have tipped me over the edge to get some now!

[@gkott78]

@EDDBUD keep on mind I purchased them for around 120.00 US. At msrp they are such a niche shoe i would skip for certain.

[@threadripper7902]

good thing I was able to watch this first before I settled my mind buying the Vaporfly 3 since Alphafly 3 is currently Out of Stock.

[@EDDBUD]

Loads of alphafly 3’s here

[@threadripper7902]

@@EDDBUD Looks like I'm going to settle for the Puma FAST-R NITRO Elite 2 xD

[@Run_Like_a_T-Rex]

Doing my first marathon at Manchester 2025. Hoping for 4hrs. What shoes would you recommend I look at? My current rotation is Nimbus 25 for easy runs, & Novablast 4 for everything else. Should I look at carbon or am I not quick enough to get real benefits from it?

[@EDDBUD]

Machx2 or endorphin pro 4 seem good bets

[@davidh5429]

Sorta looking forward to the Zoomx Streakfly 2 however I'm afraid the forefoot will bottom out again quickly. Imo it should have a air unit like Nike's top sprint track shoes.

[@EDDBUD]

Yeah it’s a careful balance in terms of forefoot foam needed there

[@Ryanl27-u4x]

Zoom fly same fit as alphafly3 ?, I’m usually a us 11 wish I up sized to the 11.5 in the af3 tight on the toes

[@shaneheg]

I’ve run in - and loved - both the Nitro Elite 1 & 2 and am so keen to try the 3, but as you said Edd they’re impossible to find. It’s a shame that Puma have released such an acclaimed shoe without people being able to actually buy the thing. Wonder if they underestimated demand.

[@chaz4510]

no adidas pro 3 for marathon?

[@EDDBUD]

Not for me.

[@LightitUpSB]

If you’re ever down south Sussex/Brighton way for a half I’d be well up for pacing a sub 1:30 with you!

[@EDDBUD]

Much appreciated sir

[@SirThomas1212]

Try 361 Miro Nude for 5K-10K.

Not in a bigger size. All for small asian feet . . .

[@bpg201]

What about my favorite distance the 10 miler for us peeps that are across the pond ?? :) No worries...I think we have enough information in this video to figure it out :)

[@lsfire3489]

wow this is very good but you should do the daily trainer for the distances too

[@tombola4046]

Not often I disagree but tried the zoomfly 6 and really didn’t like it! felt lifeless! And what’s the deal with the carbon plate you can literally bend the shoe in half! Prefer the magic speed 4. Although I completely agree on the DNE3! Absolutely banging shoe

[@darrensmith7017]

Would of put the puma fast r1 for 5 and 10k.its a rapid shoe and I will be using it for benidorm 10k in a couple of weeks

[@EDDBUD]

Best of luck with the race!

[@daveg3831]

Bit of feedback when doing your shoe reviews . Could you possibly say when reviewing shoes if they would be suitable for heavier runnera amd also mentioned the toe box room for people with wider feet . Therr arent many KZbinrs who go down thia route . Yowana is probably the best imo , he covers all types of runners .

[@EDDBUD]

I do mention it often in the reviews

[@neilmcgovern9014]

Running Manchester too, 1st Marathon, run plenty half's, use my vaporfly 2s for half's but still haven't picked a shoe, thinking something more forgiving for big one, Saucony pro or adios pro, cant push myself to stretch to Alphafly's yet!!

[@dannymarx3832]

Any News on the deviate nitro elite? . . .

@EDDBUD I did actually watch the video by the way. I agree with pretty much everything you said, hence the novelty comment.

[@tigmax8]

The availability of these shoes, or lack of it, is a real problem. I'm in the market for some new race shoes and none of the ones I'm after are in stock anywhere. I don't see the logic of the companies making such low numbers available.

[@042766]

Yes TS 10 for 5k for me too! Love that color way after seeing you wearing it (had to pu from End. London to get that color way) very fun shoe to work out in and owe that to you. Agree with MSP for 1/2 too-have done a PB in them. For marathon, will put AF there, looking at Ap4 (when out) and will see about MSP.

[@sammacaulay11]

Silliness of using the imperial system for length highlighted by the video thumbnail where the units have to be dropped for half and full marathon distances 😂5km, 10km, 21.1km and 42.2km and all makes sense.

[@EDDBUD]

It looked weird with the half and full distances! I always think of it like this though as the distance seems less. 🤣

[@Nige.]

Yeah but it’s more common for people to describe halfs and marathons in miles. It is also the convention to use km units when describing km races and to not use any units for mile races. Look at the name of literally any race on runbritain.

[@DodgyHamstring]

As a proud owner of Dodgy hamstrings and requiring some mild stability, I'm rocking the new Brooks hyperion GTS for 5 & 10s and my love affair with the Mizuno Wave Inspire 19s continues for Halves and Marathons. Great Channel Buddmeister 👍

[@edwinpepito1498]

Best shoe for slow runners Ed 4,5 6 hours marathon. 😊😅

[@EDDBUD]

Endorphin pro 4 and the Cielo x1 spring to mind

[@MrAsthenia]

I would check out the Superblast if you can find it in your size. I ran the Brighton marathon in over 5 hours and felt they were spot on. Probably best to avoid a plated shoe if you're going to be out there for a while - I did a marathon last year in the Endorphin Pro 3 and they absolutely trashed my calves.

Love Link Wray's guitar playing with Robert Gordon but after Wray left Gordon was equally blessed with 2 virtuso unappreciated guitar players that were also great in their own right. Chris Spedding was Britain's most sought after guitar session player in the 70's. He was the Asics Superblast of guitar players meaning he was very vesatile. So much that he could mimic to a tee any guitar sound perfectly of all the great guitar heroes of the 70's. He even produced the Sex Pistols and The Pretenders. Chris Spedding was replaced by Danny Gatton, the " Humbler" He got that name because when he jammed with other great guitarist, no one could outplay him. He created a style of playing called redneck jazz where he fused country, blues, jazz and rockabilly.

Hi

[@johndixon557]

With what I have at my disposal I generally use speed 3 or 4 for 5k. However In a month's time I'm gonna use my metaspeed sky+ straight out box for a 5k PB attempt. 10k for me would usually be pro 3 or pro 4s. Once again though I'm gonna use the metaspeed sky+ in December for my 10k PB attempt. for half I've used adiós pro 3 and Saucony pro 4. Adidas kept a nice pace but for comfort I give the Pro 4. I actually bought the Adiós pro 3 for my first Full in Manchester April. Having run in them and the Saucony pro 4 in the 2 Half's I've done I've decided on the Soucony. However as it's only full I'm planning to ever do I'm considering just getting some superblast 2 and using them and just concentrate on enjoying the race and taking it all in 🩷💚
