No issues at all with the pro 4 for me. Ran a 10k pb without trying for one and a very wet Edinburgh marathon at the weekend. Didn't own the pro 3 but I've ran alphafly and no contest pro 4 wins just by being able to wear them without being crippled.

@TheFODRunner Месяц назад

Amazing, thats great to hear, well done on the PB!

@rogerhyland8755 Месяц назад

Agree with your comments, Andy. I ran a HM end March in Saucony Pro 4, didn't work for me, at 10 miles the balls on both feet started to hurt and by mile 12 was effecting how I was running, could have been sock choice of course. Ran Bristol 10k the other week in Takumi Sen 10, superb shoe, I use these for interval training, too. I also much prefer the brooks hyperion max to the Saucony speed 4.

@Mr80Miles Месяц назад

Tried out the AF3, definitely a no way for a small, lightweight like me. However, I can very well imagine for bigger folk they are just the ticket!

@angeloskadis9968 Месяц назад

I PRed in the Copenhagen marathon with the A3. Absolutely love the shoe - makes my stride longer somehow and protects my old legs better than the Vaporfly

@brunocassettari Месяц назад

Andy, I always hear you with gps issues. Time for you to invest on a Stryd pod to have great accuracy on pace and distance. Power meter comes as a bonus🤪

@rossfripp4503 Месяц назад

Which do you prefer for fast speed work (e.g. 3k pace up to 5-10k pace) and for longer races (10k to HM) which do you prefer....Endorphin Elite or Alphafly 3, and why? Thanks!

@timtrenholm3698 Месяц назад

AF V3 at 10k and above has been amazing. I recently got a hold of a pair of Endorphin Pro 3's after trading a pair of Boston 12's for them. And surprisingly they feel really great on feet after one run. I've always had issues with the Endo Speed's and heel slip, but I think the Pro 3's with the less structured heel and heel cup allows it to better form to my heel and keep it locked in place. Going to try and work the Pro 3's into my workout rotation to extend the life of my Tempo Next%s, and maybe even give them a whirl at a few summer (5k/10k) races I have planned. Although, I can see me swapping the laces soon with an old pair of Tempo Next% which has ZERO give to them, unlike the stretchy Saucony ones.

@TheFODRunner Месяц назад

Yeah the pro 3 are such a good shoe, I have a lot of miles logged in my pair, I love them! Definitely give them a go for your summer racing!

@markbateman9222 Месяц назад

Had problems with other Saucony shoes in wet and damp conditions, cornering or running hard uphill. Have binned the brand because of this - after all, it has been known to rain a bit up here in Lancashire!

@peterkisidaj9329 Месяц назад

Hi Andy, thank you for your feedback on Alphafly 3 and Endorphin Pro 4. I was successfull to get a pair of Alphafly 3, not easy to buy. So based on your thougths I'm really looking forward to trying them and race a marathon in them. All the Best!

@TheFODRunner Месяц назад

Good luck, I hope they work well for you!

@sschwen8050 Месяц назад

Interesting about the poor grip of the EP4. I haven’t tried them yet but my EP3s are very tacky, so much so that when it’s dry they have a kind of Velcro effect on the pavement. I found that weird at first but now I’m used to it.

@gregruns Месяц назад

Andy, have you received your pair of the Mizuno Neo Vista yet? Can't wait to watch for your video review on it.

@TheFODRunner Месяц назад

Sadly not buddy, mizuno only go up to a 12UK it seems….

@TolunayOrkun Месяц назад

@@TheFODRunner I ran 3 miles in demo Ne Vista. It is a very soft foam. Andy, knowing that you enjoy firmer more responsive, firmer foams, you probably wouldn't like them. It would be too mush. Fiberglass plate and long, deep and wide grove helps but to a certain degree. It is not an experience like Wave Rebellion Pro 2. That shoe is far more responsive, fun. Even for me Neo Vista would be recovery and easy day shoe with some miles in tempo. I dig the upper and colorway however.

@brokenfreddy1262 Месяц назад

I found the Saucony pro4 to fit much better than the previous versions..unfortunately they put some of their HG foam in the midsole and made it too hard..the V3 is better for cushioning, but it doesn't fit right..

@TheFODRunner Месяц назад

Interesting to hear you prefer the fit of the 3! I have noticed the 4 are a bit more narrow for me... but now I have relaced them theres no issue anymore.... thankfully!

@tommoore3292 Месяц назад

Saucony elite or pro 4 for 5k ?

@3orpSoida89 Месяц назад

Was always a Saucony man but feel they’ve slipped slightly recently. ASICS & Adidas the ones to beat at the moment. IMO Nikes options remain overrated both in terms of performance and aesthetics.

@TolunayOrkun Месяц назад

The question is would Alphafly 3 perform well under same wet and slippery conditions and on grass? We will never know. The shoe of the day was EP4 and that was the sone to suffer environmental conditions.This is not to say Alphafly 3 is the better shoe. It probably is. Just saying that your bad experience is largely influenced by a lot of factors.

@Sw0rDf1sH Месяц назад

Alphafly 3 works really well for me. Ran pbs for half marathon and parkrun so far. More comfortable than the Alphafly 1.

@TheFODRunner Месяц назад

Glad it works well for you too!

@bev9708 Месяц назад

❤Alphafly ❤ BIG fan girl here!!! Though "liveliness" also seems kinda individual !!🤷🏻‍♀️ And of course so many don’t get on with the Alphafly at all either! Have you done a comparison of all 3 Alphaflys Andy?? That would be very interesting from your perspective !! 🙋🏻‍♀️

@TheFODRunner Месяц назад

No I havent, I sent me 2s back so dont have those anymore, but I will try between the 1 and the 3 soon.... glad to hear you enjoy them Bev!
