I tried running in Kipchoge's shoe. Did I go FASTER? 

Sir please you give me a Alfa fly shoes please

Iam practice 10k but not improve

My 10k time is 35 min 20 sec

I'm practice in Sega shoes My ankle is pain please sir you give me a shoes sir

oh no mine are black

#facts 😅

Same logic as flames on cars add 20hp. 😊

same reason i only wore neon spikes in college lol. only helped a little but at least the kicks were clean

Obviously

I agree - stupid cost!

Ben is running and Matt Rees, 2 very fast youtuber runners, tend to run their nike supershoes to around 500 miles before retiring them if i remember correctly (definitely at least 300)

@@mintymilkk prob about right for a light weight runner. 👍🏼

@@mintymilkk I've not seen Matt but I do watch Ben Felton and about two Bens make one Mark Lewis!

@@mintymilkk So for Kipchoge et. al. that would mean new shoes around every 2-3 weeks with his training miles. Damn the sponsorships are needed then.

Most (>85%) 'average' runners are heavy heel strikers, so landing on a 40mm thick cushion of foam is always going to feel wrong. To me they just feel springy in a cheating sort of way ;-)

I do try to explain I'm a bit big for a runner but no one seems to listen 😂

@@MarkLewisfitness isn’t till you see it like that, that you fully get it 😂

Great video, instant like when i saw this clip 3:28 - great job mate! 🔥👍🏻

I got the first version of the shoe on offer and tbh they really did help improve my running

I’m not a fan of runs over 10 K, but actually quite looking forward to doing a half marathon in these

15 minutes quicker ??

As an 80 kg, 50+ runner, I feel the same with the Nike AF. I do not experience a turbo boost to my pace, but see them more as protecting my legs, so I am less tired at the end of a race. I am therefore able to hold a higher pace for longer, were as I would slow down in other non-carbon shoes as I fatigue.

they'd be even faster if they had a red stripe 😎

​@Stephen Gillen Great shoe, but a little exaggeration here!

Consistency is key. You got this!

Took me a while to be able to do 5K without walking. Just keep at it, you can only get better.

@@MarkLewisfitness I usually need a day to recover but the last few short runs haven’t felt that way. Running 15 minutes straight, then 18 the next, and today I might just go ahead and aim for 21. Or maybe I’ll run the 1.5 for time

USAF or RAF? im assuming RAF...

Same 👌

I've never even dreamed of putting a zero drop shoe on my feet. Would like to keep my Achilles in tact and I have and love all the carbon fiber racing shoes. Perfect running foam has nothing to do with why these shoes are awesome. I have Nike Vaporfly 1,2, Alphafly 1,2, Saucony Pro 1,3, Endorphin Elite, ASICS Metaspeed Sky, Adidas Pro 3. And I'm 💯 heel striker.

@@Teddy_J Zero drop/barefoot training is what strengthened my Achilles and my feet. My first traditional running shoes were a pair of Sauconys about 3 years ago. I used to run on my toes which started to hurt my Achilles (also had foot pain from basketball injuries), fortunately I also started running barefoot (on clean grass at the park) not long after that. My running form is much better and now my feet can handle any surface (minus a ton of rocks) after 2 years of walking and running on the sidewalk and bike trail (concrete and asphalt respectively) in Vibram barefoot shoes to be safe (there's a learning curve and it's best to start in your home and on your lawn if you can but worth it if you take your time and don't rush). Those super shoes are literally for people who have great form already not for novices with an unnatural gait (Nike designed for Kipchoge and other elite runners). Never too late to strengthen your feet which will strengthen your whole body because it starts from the ground up. No more heel or toe striking because it'll honestly hurt when you're barefoot and it's not a natural, effective, or efficient way to run. If you really care about your health and want to get in better shape and get faster it's something to think about and research. Have a good day.

thanks 🙏

At this stage you shouldn’t worry about speed, just focus on mileage

🙏

Thats how I imagine it - shift gears on your feet!

That’s a big help 👍🏼 12 min is huge

Wonder how much of that 12 minutes was related to the shoe or just additional training. Hard to measure, no denying that the shoes help though or top runners wouldn't wear em

@@claytontaylor6155 the placebo effect is sometimes also very effective. :)

@@mett50N I did 4 half marathon runs in my London marathon training. It was compared to invincibles and the time was based on the the last 2 runs of which the invincibles were used after the alphafly but there definitely is a placebo effect.

@@mett50N very true also lol

love SA! I have some videos of traveling there way back in my RU-vid catalouge!

Bro😅e😊z2😊m😊🥳😊😊😊↙️◀️🔄p

Good luck! First non-stop park run is a buzz!

Nice to know as I just go on feel!

you are right - prob for a lot of folk is once tired they forget everything 😂

I have metaspeed for my Parkrun, as the Nike is not stable enough on a twisty course.

There are now a lot of good cheaper alternatives if you are looking for a carbon plated race shoe.

Im the same Excellent description on running technique I started running barefoot on the beach about 4 years ago and over the course of about a year I smashed all my pb's including my 1/2 marathon time from 1:57 down to 1:42 My 10k from 52 down to 47 And my 5k from 25 down to 22 No more heel striking and much more efficient

@@barefootbeachrunner9498 Yup that's what running naturally can do. Starting running barefoot on grass 3.5 years ago and these days I wear my Vibram 5 finger trail running shoes and can easily run on concrete and asphalt with no pain and good form. I used to run on my toes a lot (too many years running in basketball shoes) and that started to cause Achilles pain but that went away as I learned to land on the balls of my feet. Happy running.

@@gmaxsfoodfitness3035 😊👍🏃‍♂️

fax.

It’s that classy, British reserve 😂

There are other really good carbon plate "super shoes" out there now. But from all the research I've done (none of it empirical) the Nike's are still the top of the heap.
