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!!!

[@ojj8362]

looking forward to being fit, healthy and injury free

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@AGC828]

I think too many runners today are relying on carbon plates/rods for added asistance. the runners of "olde" ran in "flats" with no plates/rods. I think some runner ran the Berlin in 2018 barefoot11 :) Comes down to IMHO physical conditioning....how strong are you really?? :) would have liked have heard your thoughs on the sole rubber. Odd to me Nike hasn't partnered with a car tire company like Adiddas has with ontinental. Why not partner with Pierelli, Yokohama....etc. if th rubber is good for Porsche 911's....3000 plus pound sportscars...

[@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

[@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!!

[@noahmathews6024]

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.

Hey Ben! Me and my GF are trying to get in to running, we gonna run our first half marathon and our first marathon in Amsterdam this year! It would be a lot easier with a nice pair of shoes 😉

[@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 👍🏻

[@finnjackman601]

Hi Ben I’m looking to get started racing as I’m 14 and started half a year ago I love your content Keep it up 👍

[@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. :)

[@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!

[@darragh9543]

hi ben great review. my goal for 2022 is to break 20 mins in the 5l i have been running 6 months my pb is 21:38 and i feel like the shoes would help me thanks.

[@MrJohnnyevo]

I'm looking forward to Manchester marathon.... And hopefully getting under 4 hours.

Dear Ben, Your Videos are my inspiration & I am a Heart Attack survivor, while running My goal & DREAM is to at least finish World Major Marathon ( Tokyo) 2023, differed since 2020

[@oliverjenkins6539]

I'm most looking forward to the Amsterdam Marathon in October - my first ever race abroad! I'm a size 10UK so fingers crossed for the Streak Fly especially after such a good review too! 😁🏃‍♂️

[@jame5anders0n]

Hi Ben, always love the content and your positivity. I’m hoping to break some PB this session and I’m sure with some new Nikes would help 😉👍. Main goal is Edinburgh marathon but if your looking to do the GNR in Newcastle ‘get in touch’ I can help with accommodation

[@michaelchalfant__7872]

So what you saying it’s a slightly slower Vaporfly for $100 cheaper. I’m down

[@BenParkes]

Yes

[@justingoreing8841]

Can't wait for my local half marathon in Fleet! I've had the most consistent training I've ever had leading up to it, so really want to smash my PB!

[@BenParkes]

Good luck Justin!

[@emmett1ish]

I love the Streakfly much better than the Alphafly and I think they are better than the Vaporfly for shorter road races. I am happy to trade the full carbon plate for the better agility that the Streakfly provides. I ran my best 5k in the Streakfly and am aiming to go sub 20 with them.

[@matthiasransau]

I'm looking trying to run my first sub 15min 5k :))

[@ourchannelofthisandthat]

Great review thanks! What is my running goal...Well, after a year of constant running last year and running a half marathon which I never dreamt I'd reach, I've been watching Sarah's videos for a while now and she has inspired me to achieve an ultra! Not a road marathon as I don't think I have the right mind set for that but trails are appealing... watch this space! :D Good luck with your races.

[@luciegoddard8593]

This year I’m most looking forward to improving my 5k time and hopefully focusing on a PB over the half marathon as I feel I have more in me. I have worked hard last year to get sub 19 for 5k and I’d love to go sub 18 this year. I’m currently nursing a weak ankle after a sprain but it’s getting better and I have a knee problem that is causing me some grief but im doing the strength and staying positive 💪🏼

[@cgazlan]

With my running, the main objective is to maintain a good general health and to be able to take care of my family. Ps, I'm a size 10UK 👍🏻

[@rowei2019]

Hey Ben，my 2022 goal is run a sub 2"50 Marathon, sub77 HM, sub 35 in 10k, sub16 in 5k ! like your Video!

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!!!

[@AaronMarshal]

I'm most looking forward to an event called the "City to Bay" which is a 12km non for profit run which supports Athletics in South Australia. They have a sub 50 which ill be entering in, i'll also be raising money for a charity called FightMND during the lead up to the race. Only started running this year so I'm excited to train for it and ace it!

[@RaphaelIgrisianu]

Lovely, lovely channel mate. We're looking forward to whether you can get back sub 2:30 and faster.

Please does it have that uncomfortable rubbish carbon plate?

Why they considered to be speed shoes? They have more stack than Ultraboost for example....i am bit lost in marketing.?. Also Ultraboost is good for 42k......why these are for 5-10 k....more stiff foam??

Ben hi - please could provide size here you used during streakfly review. And then what size used for the latest nike alphafly 3 used in recent review. I have the streakfly from year ago and now want to order the alphafly 3. In streakfly the 10.5 fits good. In the next percent 2 a year 1/2 ago got size 11. For alphafly should i order with 10.5 - again this i use with streakfly - this with good fit? Great if could check back what u had with the streakfly and what got with alphfly 3 and fit u found. Thank you so much for any update.

Lots of achievable goals to aim for. Good luck to those entering the competition 🍀 I'll leave it to someone with the right sized feet.

[@g.a.v.d]

Ballot week for the 2022 London Marathon and if I am successful, it will be my first ever marathon and would be my running highlight of the year and probably of my life. Fingers crossed 🤞. The possibility of London aside, I am looking forward to completing my second ever half marathon and after coming back from injury, I am after a PB. If I can get it, it will be thanks to your beginner level 1, half marathon training plan I have been following and it has given me confidence, that I will be able to achieve this. My PB goal is Under 2hr 5min 🥵 slow for some, but would make me so so happy. Good luck with your Marathon goal, of getting back under 2hr30min….those speeds just blow my mind 🤯
