Will race day shoes ACTUALLY make me run faster?

[@klipklapklop3359]

As another comment pointed out you ran the half marathon at 2 completely different effort. No shoe on earth is cutting 24mins off a half marathon

[@MichaelDavis-uu9zh]

Just since advise from a runner and lifter: try not to use a max cushion for squats, it’ll throw off your stability and cause injury. For lifting typically you need a flat sole so you can plant your feet correctly. I run in the Clifton 9’s, great shoe, just not fit lifting.

[@OperaDon]

thank you, i appreciate that a lot! I did not know that!

[@Elias.Sedivy]

Thats a really good advice. I used to lift in running shoes, but switched to ones with flat soles and its a lot better. Shoes like vans, converse or flatter nikes work good for me

[@rew0rked]

flats 100% better for gym (unless you’re doing runs )

[@benjamin.kelley]

Honestly, whenever you squat or deadlift, you should probably just do it in your socks - It doesn't limit toe spread like Vans or Converse do, and it's free!

[@AlmirSevero1]

I thought exactly the same when I saw the squat

[@luftatmer]

Nah man, that cant be true. What is it about the heartrate being 20 beats higher (on average?) in the faster runs? You gotta match intensity for a even comparison 😅

[@onlineo2263]

Hahaha I just rewatched after your comment. 142 v 163 ave heart rate. I imagine new running shoes are faster, also carbon plated running shoes are likely faster... But if you put in 15% more effort then you will definitely run faster! 😂

[@Gabrielle-w2j]

as a fellow average/newish distance runner, i can confidently say that i am able to run at a higher max effort for a sustained period of time when i pick the lighter/newer/better-fitting shoes in my rotation over my beat up, 300+ mile shoes. idk what it is exactly, but i think it has something to do with mobility or muscle memory or something, but as a fairly new runner, my stride/ability to exert myself often has just as much to do with the shoes i’m wearing as my rest/effort in the actual workout.

[@gitnjur]

​@@Gabrielle-w2j you just wrote a bunch od bullshit

[@njsfer]

@@Gabrielle-w2j That's called motivation. This guy tried to fool us all, that's it. How can you run a half marathon with an average HR of 142? My HM PB is 1h20m at 169bpm and I'm 40 years old.

[@Msnellyberry1]

The worst “review” or “comparison” ever

[@njsfer]

Good try but the HR data gave it away. No way that you can run at your max with an average HR of 143 unless if you're very unfit and in your 70's. And there's also no way that the shoes will give you that much performance benefit even if you're a responder (not everyone runs faster with carbon plates shoes, studies say). Honestly, those carbon shoes are one of the slowest that you can buy.

[@Pourkhoa]

Note: you want shoes that are flat + wide toe box for lifting especially for stability

[@njsfer]

True. I will never understand why people use tall and cushioned running shoes for lifting, it is the worse that you can use.

[@weeknd7245]

Stfu with ur cavemen hippie bare foot all natural snake oil, I been using narrow shoes and I’m feet are beautiful and strong, if more like you don’t know how to walk

[@bawags300_svt8]

Yeah… you’re not dropping 20+ minutes off your time because of shoes…

[@Roger-il8iw]

Using carbon plate shoes on trails 😢😢 money down the drain

[@abeltabares3163]

“Average runner” then runs a half marathon

[@MahmoudAmari1]

Love the video! But like the dude said be careful from squats with high/soft cushion. Low and hard soles are thw way to go. Barefoot is even better for squats 👍

[@OperaDon]

Thanks for the tips!

[@paxundpeace9970]

Sorry but the heart rate gave you away the difference isn't as big as it seems. Normal old Hoka shoes time 2:14 pace 10:07 mile heart rate 142 Carbon Hoka Shoes run 1 1:49 pace heart Rate 162 Carbon Hoka Shoes run 2 1:52 pace heart Rate 163

[@natjohnstone1689]

To suggest shoes can make a 25 minute difference is laughable

[@skellirl2]

​@natjohnstone1689 that's not what he said. He said you can't give a fair comparison if you don't give the same effort in the shoes

[@Robzabest25]

carbon plates can make u give higher efforts for longer

[@MimiPlaysViolin]

The extra propulsion you feel with the plate could be enough to make higher efforts feel more sustainable. It makes you want to keep going and doesn’t let you relax as easily even when you’re feeling tired.

[@skellirl2]

@@MimiPlaysViolin "Makes you want to keep going" not very scientific this

[@EEquels]

What absolute bs. 25 mintes faster these trash ass shoes are apparently 🤣🤣

[@charliehall3219]

Trust me when I say you will get a lot more life out of your shoes if you just use a couple pairs just for running, and then use another pair for workouts or just casual use

[@tomasvykoukal8898]

I know you are faster and better runner than me, but i would suggest you do lower body strength exercises barefoot, running shoes are extremely unstable for heavy lifting. Hope you give it a try and keep up great work

[@OperaDon]

Thank you I started doing it barefoot I hope to see some good results I appreciate the tip!

[@darrensanders9312]

Bro Ross has been having a lot of nice running shoes like altra, brooks, hokas, and ASICS lately and it’s awesome

[@l.bokros684]

The real miracle is that he put 330 miles on Clifton 9s. Mine feel like flat mushy garbage and begin to bite into my ankles after like 150, 200 max. Shoes just are not made to last

[@lukegillingham7088]

As a miler I just wanna put it out there that not just anyone can run a fast mile and that all disciplines of endurance running are extremely difficult to excel at, no hate here just saying if the mile is easy you’re probably not going all out

[@OperaDon]

very good point!

[@violindalola]

YOU GOT THEM AT ROSS?!! GEEZ Im about to go to Ross :v

[@Bread_n_Butter.]

Ross is generally hit and miss with stuff like that. But... definitely worth a visit from time to time. You just never know sometimes. lol

[@yakiweiss546]

Love the Rocket x1 , wonderful show, I'm also ran cross-country races with it.. :-)

[@polischristodoulou4357]

Wanna make proper/ correct test.Next week try do the same starting with the new shoes and then next time with the old ones(so basically do the opossite).Wanna make an even more accurate test you need to do these tests with more than 10 people ,various ages and athletic levels.

[@Robzabest25]

still waiting for a guy to make a video don't buy carbon plate shoes as their old shoes without it are faster

[@CripMD03]

Don’t sleep on HOKA, they make amazing shoes 🔥🏃

[@julienelson3448]

Carbon plated shoes are meant for roads, not trails. Glad you sped up, but I don't know about the scientific evidence here.

[@noahgjerstad]

BRO DID ALMOST 30 MIN FASTER WITH THE CARBON PLATED

[@ABucc]

Wait until you try the most popular carbon plated racers. 💪👍🔥

[@dave90mckeague]

Dont use those shoes for squatting sheeesh

[@thewargod129]

What's the song in the background?

[@1023Endurance]

you went from 215 to 147?

[@john-tomlinson]

Unless you are lifting very light in the gym, don't use a highly cushioned running shoe. It's not stable. Get something much firmer and with less height.

[@xXMc1ovinXx]

well id say my 5km race i felt amazing afterwards almost as if i should have gone harder lol while after a 5km race in normal ones, just feel more of a grind

[@yeet76231]

get some CrossFit shoes for the gym. that soft foam is gonna cause some major issues when lifting. on top of taking a lot of actual numbers away

[@benw2308]

Yeah brother, you should squat in Clifton’s😂

[@JM-oy5yv]

The plate made you push harder and the Clifton’s keep you slow

[@chriswhite-gloria8318]

"anyone can run a fast mile" 🤡 sorry dawg

Don’t lift in running shoes

They aren’t trail shoes

You know there is trail version on running shoes right?

[@chakalaka3960]

Why are you squatting in hokas?

What size shoes do you wear? I didn’t think Cliftons and the Carbon X were that heavy!

[@onlineo2263]

He is weighing 2 shoes. Half that total to get the weight per shoe!

[@onlybilly03]

I run in saucony endorphin pro 3s, they are carbon plated, and going plastic souled shoes to them, the difference is unparalleled. I think the decreased my pace per KM by at least five seconds - that’s liek going from a 5:28 mile to a 5:20 just from carbon shoes. With can extra one month of training I ran a 5:06 mile

[@yashroy3667]

Weight ?

Also buy trail shoes

[@jomofilart2999]

1:49 is not average at all sir wow! From 2:14 that's a massive massive improvement just from shoes (assuming you didn't train for a long time in between the runs)

what even is a carbon plated shoe? sounds like good marketihg
