You’re in such good shape so far out… this is exciting 🎉

[@RobE8475]

You’ll look back and miss the days when the kids pestered you so much one day! Another great training session. Well done.

[@cwattage]

You know you’re fit when you can have a conversation at 5:16/mile pace. 💪🏻

[@iagoferreira-b1v]

what a nice couple! great video

[@christineheaton8662]

Looking good Matt 👍

[@DrProfX]

I like your loop!! Who says England and Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 are too cloudy and depressing?! Looks great and a perfect climate for running 😎

[@L00PYDRAG0N]

Hey Matt, another great video. I will be running my first marathon at Valencia too. As for shoe recommendation i found the Nike very slappy. And then i tried the Adidas. Wow what a difference. For my rotation i have X3 Pro 3. Takumi sen 8. Boston 12. SL2. Novablast gtx for trail. All the very best for the 1st. I may see you there.🤙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@juanseaforth5111]

Good luck in Valencia 😊👊🏾 you look super fit 👏🏾

[@mikew6840]

I got stuck in my wetsuit and had a panic attack 😄 so I sympathise!

[@garyhurn6153]

The mizuno wave rebellion pro feels very very similar to the alphafly1. Great shoes

[@crankgreenwatts]

Exciting times 🙌

[@Gws525]

Alphafly 1 is still the goat, I agree. Although, I ran my most recent in the Sky Paris and it's very, very close. Another incredible shoe.

[@timothytrewin]

Amazing workout mate! I feel the same about AF3, not vibing with them😅

[@bh4560]

Alphafly 1s are the goat! Just got the adidas pro 3 and the upper is killing my feet after 2 runs today. Bit concerned tbh! The saucony pro 4s might be a safe option and very fast I had the 3s and used them for 2 marathons and they are super comfy. I could see you smashing it in those matt. But yes the sky paris seems to be the number 1 at the moment.

[@bh4560]

Also a curve ball! Those diadora carbon shoes get amazing reviews. A bit left field but they look like crackers.

[@Stevenc1984]

eBay / Depop / Vinted are probably your best bet for the OG Alphaflys. I'm heading to a Nike outlet next week, but last time I went they didn't have anything of interest. Looking good in the session! Do you think the track racing over the summer helped?

[@jorge-mendes]

Go to the adios pro ! I'm a huge fan, its like a rolls Royce with a lamborguini speed.

[@DrProfX]

…. or Adios Pro can feel like a metal jacket that breaks your foot in half and gives you a Lisfanc sprain… Nike and NB are the best!

[@jarsa81]

Puma Deviate Nitro Elite 3 big 👍

[@toddboucher3302]

Now I heard from other people that are roadrunners I’m a trail runner so but they told me that the endorphin pro three think it was the three is the closest today the original Alpha fly or fly or whichever fly I don’t know if you’ve ever tried that but that’s one a few people. I know that try like the whatever the one have not liked it is it it’s aggressive and it’s fast but it don’t feel great but they called the Paris. Oh, there’s a couple things for you.

[@davissi]

What size are you Matt? I'll find you a new pair of Alphafly 1's

[@TheWelshRunner]

Thanks. That’s really appreciated. I’m a UK size 10. If you do see anything then let me know. Really appreciate it. Thanks.

[@FrederikFrost-e2n]

Thoguhts on Saucony Endorphin Elite for your marathon?

[@stuartwalker6786]

What size are you? I have a virtually unused (

[@TheWelshRunner]

That’s very thoughtful, thanks. UK 10. Any luck? 😬

[@stuartwalker6786]

@@TheWelshRunner seriously could have had them Bigfoot! but is a UK7.5/US 8.5 (Womens US 10) 😥

[@Veganrunner_taylor]

Would you not consider Puma shoes?

[@TheWelshRunner]

Yeah I would consider these. I’ve heard good things. These are an option too.

[@Veganrunner_taylor]

@@TheWelshRunner iv tried the deviate elite 2 and the fast r 2 both are great shoes the fast r have the newer foam which is a lot better than the elite 2 so if you want the deviate head towards the elite 3 👊🏻

[@tommoore3292]

Deviate nitro elite 3 is gr8 shoe i think

[@Andy.mikhail137]

Im really curious how you would feel in the metaspeed sky paris?!

[@TheWelshRunner]

I’m curious too but there’s none my size anywhere and it doesn’t look like any new colours are dropping before Valencia 😫.
