In today's video I took the highly anticipated Nike Alphafly 3 for a proper test over a 15x1k marathon session here in Valencia. This shoe felt unbelievable and looking forward to racing in it this weekend. Unfortunately this colour way sold out in a number of minutes but there will be more available in early march at Pro:Direct:Running who kindly provided this sample for testing. If you did pick up a pair and like the look of these matching socks check out SHYU below. If you enjoyed the video please leave a like and consider subscribing for more running related content.

@jes28899 4 месяца назад

Good that your training is going in the right direction. Maybe you could just complete the Seville marathon 10 secs slower than your pace? Could still count as a really good training run! All the best for the 10k!

@BenIsRunning 4 месяца назад

Yes in theory I could but it’s the recovery needed after a full marathon I want to bypass if possible. I’m looking to bank a good training effect and continue training in the coming weeks :)

@alirunsfast 4 месяца назад

The Alphafly 2 arch ruined it for me. I hope the Alphafly 3 doesn't have the same issue. If so il stick to Adios Pro 3 and Hoka Rocket x2's

@robertonjr10 4 месяца назад

Hi Ali! I did try the AF2 and had the arch issue, it did not bother me but it was noticible, with this new AF3 I just ran a 3X3000 and can tell you I had no arch issues!

@nealbeegle5926 4 месяца назад

As someone who couldn’t run in the AF2 and loved the VF3, I’m in love with the AF3. The fit and feel is far more similar to the vf3 than the af2. It basically feels like a bouncier version of the VF3 with a negligible weight difference and better lockdown because of the sock upper. Just my take, no expert

@ketanhule9622 4 месяца назад

I loved the pronounced arch in 1 & 2 and even in the miller 3

@colinm9168 4 месяца назад

Stick an insole from another runner in and you won't notice it. It actually adds cushion and no arch issue

i watched your previous review of the alphafly 2, and im a little confused. You said in this video it was abit of a disappointment, but in your previous review videos of the alphafly 2, you praised that shoe. Did something change?

@BenIsRunning 4 месяца назад

The alphafly 2 is a great shoe but I think for many, myself included, the original was a little better performance wise. The 2 therefore didn’t live up to the hype. The 3 seems to be an improvement on both :)

@NateCrail 4 месяца назад

How does it compare to the Adios Pro 3?

@BenIsRunning 4 месяца назад

Both exceptional racing shoes for the marathon distance. The pro3 doesn’t feel as special but as soon as you hit marathon pace in them they are exceptional. I ran my pb in the pro 3. In terms of comparison, the alphafly is a little softer and more bouncy where as I’d say the pro 3 is slightly firmer and more stable midsole

@grgr6720 4 месяца назад

How did you find the support of the alpha 3s compared to the vapor 3s?

@BenIsRunning 4 месяца назад

I wouldn’t describe either as supportive 😂 zoom x foam is designed for speed over stability that’s for sure. I’d pick vaporfly though as the more supportive of the two

@grgr6720 4 месяца назад

@@BenIsRunning Exacty why Im asking becasue the Vapor 3s gave me trouble over my last marathon.. So I was hoping the alpha 3s were maybe wider and more supportive. Have to look elsewhere I guess for my next Marathon shoes. Some of us need support Ben we are not all flying like you 😆😅😅
