NIKE Streakfly Full Review - is it really faster than Vaporfly?? Plus WIN A PAIR!

[@sossage1987]

Excellent review Ben!! Running goal this year is to run a 1:25 Great north run back on the usual route.

[@BenParkes]

Hello David! Thank you for your entry, I'm pleased to say that the random comment picker has chosen you! Please can you drop me a message via my website (www.benparkes.com) and I'll sort out getting the shoes to you. Congratulations!

[@kikii1]

I'm mostly looking forward to my Grampa breaking 35 minutes on his 4th parkrun. He's only just started running at 75 years old. His first ever running session was an actual parkrun! He's crazy!

[@davidodoherty349]

Love this!! Well done Grampa Kiki!!!

[@Gwing152]

Wore my pair for the first time tonight… intervals on the track. They are super comfortable but do not give you that extra boost you seem to feel with the vaporfly’s or other carbon fiber plate shoe. I think they will be a great training shoe for interval workout, and when it comes to racing slide on the vapors for that extra fast race feeling.

[@ChristianRunsNY]

I felt exactly the same. The biggest downside was simply it didn't compete with their own Next%. Otherwise it is a neat and comfortable shoe that can do a lot for less than the other supershoes.

Hey Ben, I just started my high school career this past XC season and I have ran a 16:38 as a freshman. And the indoor track season has gone well so far I’ve ran a 4:36 qualifying for nationals in the mile and 9:46 in the 2 also qualifying for Nationals. I am really excited where my journey of running will take me!! With the excitement of your videos I have enjoyed running more and more every single day.

3rd marathon at Manchester, on track to take my time down by 1:30:00 ish. Got back into running August 2021. I’m 2 stone lighter than I was with a new outlook on life. Running really changes how you see the world and yourself. Best wishes all in 2022.

[@jason.rams4]

I just started running in mid-September of 2021 after about 60 lb of weight loss. Attempted running previously but always had injuries to slow me down. But now with my weight down I've been able to run consistently. Started off with a weekly mileage of about 5 mi and now I'm up to about 18 mi per week! My main goals for 2022 are to reduce my 5K time to sub 25 minutes, 750 mi for the year, and run my first 10K hopefully in under an hour. I have been loving watching your videos since I started running, they have really helped and pushed me to continue running better and faster. Continue the amazing work you do and good luck with your upcoming marathon!

[@evanbowers8403]

This year I'm most looking forward to heading to the Dolomites this summer to run the Alta Via 1 through the mountains over 4 days! Coming back from 4 weeks of almost no running with a knee injury and Covid has shifted my perspective on running away from training for fast times and towards finding all the joy and beauty I can from the sport I love!

[@jaygib7650]

Love the videos from you and sarah, watch your hours of content while on the treadmill doing my long runs for this years Brighton marathon. I’ve had Crohn’s disease since I’ve been 15 (now 42) but haven’t let it stopped me, I enjoyed every running event I can do and hoping to do a PB marathon under 3.30 this year and a nice pair of trainers would help! If not me, hopefully someone deserving gets them! Good luck everyone! Jamie

[@harveybarrow9805]

This is my first year of actually running… before this year I only ran for sport purposes. I’m absolutely loving it and your channel is giving me a real direction to my running and advice on what to focus on. I’ve already done 3 races and plan on doing at least 1 a month this year with the biggest plan being a Half Marathon in September 💪🏻

[@38sep]

Hi Ben. Feels like there’s lots to look forward to this year with racing back on - I’m particularly excited about the South Downs Way 50 in April and being able to do lots of park runs with my six year old daughter. Thanks for the great content as always 👍🏻

I’m running Boston in April for my 16 marathon. Love to watch your video to get inspired to keep going reaching 50 years of age.

[@DocEvils]

Running my first marathon this year. I have been following you before you broke your ankle and find your tips incredibly useful, especially the garmen screen setup that I probably would have never known any other way. I find your journey through your recovery and mental health very inspiring and a reminder that it happens to all of us. Keep up your great videos!

[@rickykurnia8940]

Hi Ben, my target for this year will be simple, i hope i can archieve 200km frequently per month till june and only after that i will try to put speed training in my menu, and of course i hope i will be injury free this year, your video will help me accomplish my target, thx Ben!!

Greetings from Germany!

Just getting back into more committed running after a few years as a weekend warrior - I hadn’t even realised how much I’d missed it. My goal is just to carry on enjoying my running. You and Sarah have been a huge part of hooking me back in; thank you so much!

[@janasvarcova4236]

Hi, I'm just a beginner and I've only been running for two years, but I'm most looking forward to fulfilling your training plan and getting closer to my dream - standing on the podium in my favorite races. I follow the motto: know your limits and then humble them! I'm glad I discovered your videos which are a great inspiration and driving force :-)

[@cuberunner3289]

I want to become a pro runner in the future in the 5k. I am 13. This year I am hoping to run a 5k in under 19 minutes and a mile this track season in around 5:30 to 5:40. I hope I can win these shoes. :)

[@josheyres2839]

Awesome video Ben. I'm looking forward to being able to run my first half marathon at Beachy Head, Sussex at the end of the year. Running has given me so much, great for my mental well being and for my general health. Also showing my kids that perseverance pays off.

[@sldorse42]

Hey Ben, This year will be my first marathon and I want to have a pace of 8 mins per mile so a 3:30 marathon. I bought your racing plan and have been following it for the past 5 weeks. The race is in April 30th here in the US. These shoes look awesome and would love to do some local races in them and see how they do with me!!. Thanks again for all your great videos and everything you do for the running community. I will let you know how I do in my marathon in 10 weeks!!!

Hey Ben, I’m honestly just looking to get healthy this year. I’ve been injured the past two years and mentally I’m finally starting to love it again. You’ve been such an inspiration for me in how open you’ve been with your own mental health battles and I’m gonna keep getting it done!

Hi Ben , really looking forward after following your training plan to running the Manchester Marathon with my Dad who is 57 years young! He has helped motivate and support me through life and now it’s my turn to help him through his next challenge.

[@TimCaldwell]

Oooooh! That's exciting you said you'd go down half a size. That would mean it would be perfect for me as I usually run in a 10.5 in Nike (got Vapors and Alphas in my rotation, along with Zoom Fly 3s currently). I'd love to win a pair! So, what am I looking forward to in my running this year? I've got the Milton Keynes 20 miler next Sunday as a warm up race for my A race, which is the Wrexham Elite Marathon towards the end of April. They kindly let me in, so I'm aiming to run the race I'd hoped to run in London last year (which was scuppered by illness in the week leading in to London. I was aiming for sub 2:40 and was in the shape to do it after a HM of 1:17 and a 20 miler in 2 hours dead...sadly, I ended with a disappointing 2:49 when my illness destroyed me from about 22 miles). After Wrexham, I'm all about the shorter distances (5k and 10k) and would LOVE to give the Streakfly some proper efforts and workouts to get my 5k and 10k times down further! Good luck in the draw everyone!

I am looking forward to running the Lisbon Half Marathon in May (postponed from March)signed up last November. I have never done a race overseas before and so a bit of a new experience. Hoping to break 2 hours (current PB 2hrs 1 min from December 2021), hopefully weather not too hot, March would have been ideal. Great videos, keep up the great content.
