Unfortunately, I’m not in the UK so there not an option. We don’t have the park run culture here in Taiwan.

Well, I was trying to make this as beginner friendly as possible, from the structure through the shoes I’m recommending. I did mention the Peg and Invincible, but in both cases there are better options in those categories. Nike doesn’t make a “fast” shoe worth mentioning right now, so no go there. I also don’t think the Vaporfly or Alphafly are good options for first time super shoes experiences either. But yes… once we have more of the 2024 Nike line out in the market I’ll update the Nike Rotation guide. Likely this summer or fall.

Thank you. 🙏🏻

I had to Google that Fila… but you have some soft trainers and firmer race shoes. That works for sure! 👍🏻

@@SagasuRunning the kr6 is a light, fast and relatively cheap fast trainer, I think Fila doesn't sell them in the US or Europe, people use it a lot here in Brazil though!

@@MarcNTC I have seen them around here in Asia. Fila is somewhat popular.

Generally speaking the Metaspeeds are ok at best for heel strikers. They are a very narrow platform, especially in the heel, with little rubber coverage. That being said… either one will work. It still depends on the type of ride off of the toe you want.

It’s not a track spike, or even close… but for middle distance running and workouts it might be a valid option. I love it for 400s and 800s on the road….

🙏🏻🔥🤙🏻

Great comment! Definitely a good investment. Set you on a great course. 🤙🏻

Honestly, it’s good for you. Remember the whole training stimulus thing I mentioned. The more shoes you rotate the better. Eventually you’ll settle one(s) that you REALLY like. Until then, enjoy the ride… 🤙🏻

Id have to disagree. It’s one of the best shows Nike has made in the past 10 years… but that is personal preference too. The $160 USD is due to ZoomX…

I just used super glue, or any type of instant liquid glue like that. Never had an issue after that. Thankfully, one of the things the VF3 and AF3 seem to have solved is this delamination issue.

@@SagasuRunning same here, my VF3 still looks good atm without any issues.

One of the design flaws (or challenges) of the rods is they are less structurally resilient than a full plate. So they can break. Adidas has engineered around this with the denser/firmer Lightstrike Pro foam, but due to the cutouts in the midsole and prolonged use they do break occasionally. I've never personally broken one, but it's only a matter of time. As Adidas moves to softer foams, like Lightstrike Pro Evo, breaking rods is going to be a larger issue. I've made a few deeper-dive videos on it; Adidas Adizero Adios Pro Evo 1 Revisited ua-cam.com/video/93m7C4x8Z6s/v-deo.html Where does Adidas Adizero go from here? ua-cam.com/video/r_TKjQ5kIM8/v-deo.html Is the Adidas Prime X 2 Strung the future of Adidas Running? ua-cam.com/video/T7O4qG98afA/v-deo.html Hopefully those videos are as interesting to you. 🤙🏻

@@SagasuRunning thank you will definitely check these videos! Awesome vid content, more power to your channel! 👍

@wmgonzalbo 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Maybe, but. If the pressure from the base of the eyelet chain is due to how tight the shoes is there it could help. However, the upper is fairly generous on the AP3 so going up a half size will likely mean the shoe is now too large and you get foot movement in the upper which will make everything worst. Especially lace bite. The boot solution is to find a mid weight sock that grips the upper material. That is what I’ve done.

Nothing at all. Everyone should try this shoe at some point in their running journey. Definitely let me know how you get on with them… update this comment at some point. 🤙🏻

I could do a half marathon in this shoe but I don’t think I would. A shoe like a Vaporfly or Metaspeed is going to be faster overall. Still this shoe is an excellent option if you prefer a slightly more traditional ride with less rocker.

The Prime X isn’t a race shoe. At best it’s a long run shoe. It’s more of a development platform for Adidas. I’d 100% pick any generation of the Adios Pro to race any road race.

That works well. I also have done this often over the years. Pegasus and Vaporfly with a pair of Luna Sandals for everything else. It works well and you build strong feet.

Niche running shoe categories are infinite. 😂

I know many people us the SB for that… but I don’t think it’s a good trainer. The Novablast is a MUCH better daily shoe. The SB is a training shoe for marathon work… it’s excellent for high volume running with a mix of pace. I just think it’s too much foam, too stiff and too bulky for a true daily shoe.

@@SagasuRunning I would like to ask you what adidas shoe you think is like the superblast or the Novablast?

Adidas doesn’t really make anything that directly pairs to either shoe. For the SB the Boston 12 is the closest as far as a use case, but it’s a very different shoe. For the NB probably the Supernova Prima, which I don’t think is out yet. Maybe the UltraBoost Light…. But the NB4 is a much better shoe.

Thank you. 🙏🏻 This is something I’ve been thinking about and working on for months.

The heel counter is much nicer on the Achilles. I’ve had no issues with it as of yet and I’m near 50miles in the shoe. Overall I’m still impressed, if not a little more now.

It was until it wasn’t. There is a design flex here with how the materials work in the midsole though…

I’m happy to hear that. Thank you for the support! 🤙🏻

Interesting point. I agree. I always thought the names were very close… plus both names are awful product names for a running shoe.

If you are working on speed and 5/10k times you owe it to yourself to give the Takumi Sen 10 a try. I’m currently doing the same and finding mixing the TS10 and Metspeed Edge Paris a great plated combo. Very different shoes but both exceptional. Thank you for the kind words on the channel. 🤙🏻

@@SagasuRunning tempted now appreciate the advice thanks 🙏🏼

I did something similar for many years. Rotate a new and old pair of Pegs/Vaporflys.

I mean… the SB is good… but not perfect…

Also I run 100k/week, even if I squeeze something crazy like 800k out of my pair of Superblasts, no way it makes sense to buy a new pair every 8 weeks? 280$ a pop Canadian, makes no sense, that is why daily trainers are a thing

Thank you for watching! 🤙🏻

That is pretty solid. I did something similar for years with Pegs/Vaporflys… so respect. 🫡

Thank you for watching. I’m glad it was helpful! 🤙🏻

Thank you for the kind words. To answer your question... Can I assume you run comfortably in a Metaspeed Paris Series (or Plus)? If so the VF3 will feel vert loose and wide. Asics race uppers are very VERY good race fit. Not tight but not sloppy feeling either. They are something you are always aware of, in a good way. The VF3 upper is the opposite. Much more roomy. Much more loose, almost baggy (depending on your foot). However, that is where it works. once you get the lockdown right, which takes some effort, the upper (and shoe) disappear on your foot. Something a Metaspeed never does (and I'm currently preferring the MSEP over the VF3).

@@SagasuRunning Thanks. And no i do not own any Asics Shoes. I have the AF1 which i love but sadly are coming tot he end of their lives. I also have the Endorphin Speed 3 which is a very roomy shoe IMO and great for most types of run. I did own the Nike Tempo next% but had to stop using them as they were just too narrow in the midfoot and toe box. Was probably a tad confusing when i asked you to compare to the Asics when i don't actually own any, however I'm pretty sure by looking at the specs that the Metaspeed series would be too narrow for me, hence the question.

@louismurphy1403 Likely, you are right. The VF3 wouldn’t not be though.

@@SagasuRunning great, thank you.

More shoes the better? 🤣

I’m happy to hear that. I hope it helps. 🤙🏻

We share the same concerns. Fully.

As I mentioned in the video. I often do this. My half or full marathon build rotation has been two pairs of Pegasus and two pairs of Vaporflys quite a few times. Rotating a fresh pair with an older pair is great, especially if the shoes work for you. Now rotating 4 pairs of the same shoe… well, I guess your freind likes what they like. 🤔

@@SagasuRunning 😂 yeah you’re right. He can talk about Superblast all day. He really love it. Btw, great video as always, thanks for the reply. Keep it up & stay safe running!

@lordstalker93 🙏🏻

Thank you. 🙏🏻

You have a mix of cushioned trainers and stability trainers. You are good there. The Noosa can be used as a fast shoe. While it’s not exactly a race shoe (is a triathlon race shoe, which is a bit different needs) the combo of the rocker and lightweight will make it good for fast running. I’d say the next shoe you want to look at is something plated. Keep an eye out on the new Asics Magic Speed 4… or the Endorphin Speed 4…. The Boston 12 is a good option too but will feel very different than your other shoes, maybe too different.

@@SagasuRunning Thanks! Will definately look out for those shoes!

As of now no. I have talked about NB on the channel and why quite a bit. I’m not a fan of the 2024 design changes and I’m having trouble finding the shoes here in Taiwan where I live.

Nike is in there. The Peg and Invincible were mentioned. I didn’t include the Vaporfly 3 as I don’t think it’s a great super shoe for newer runners, especially when compared to the options I did include. The full rotation I showered in this video will work for any type of road racing. However, if someone specializes in the shorter distances, yes… they would like have some different shoes, but the categories are the same. I’ve done some niche rotation content before, mostly around the marathon. With this video I wanted to be as broad as possible.

It does but there are so many other options out there to pair with it.

@@SagasuRunningalthough very true, I’d still use the superblast for everything

You definitely found what you like! 🤙🏻

In 2024 I don’t think it’s a great first super shoe for most runners, due to stability and durability…. Especially when compared to with the options I used in the video. Yes, the MSEP is a more durable version of the VF3 that will work better for more runners. Trust me, as a VF3 fan… it was odd not including it in this video. I was trying to be as broad as I could with this one to suit the most runners.

Sounds like you know what works for you. You seem to like soft shoes with a lot of sink-in feeling. You definitely got a range that will work for that well. 👍🏻

Not a running shoe though. Totally agree on strength training and fun work but it’s something in addition to your running. Marcos are good… but so re a pair of Converse. A lot of options there. I do all my strength work barefoot (I don’t do gyms so this is all body weight and kettlebell work at home).

@@SagasuRunningwould be interesting to do a video on strength for runner😊

So many others cover that so much better than I ever could. I’m not saying never… but that is definitely not my wheelhouse.

@@SagasuRunning fully understand that!

Nothing concrete. It does look imminent though.

I live in one of the wettest cities in the world (Taipei) and I’m not a fan of GORETEX or runs models of running shoes. Your feet ARE going to get wet, no matter what you are going to do, just accept that with rain. For snow running though, especially wet snow, a GORETEX shoe can be useful to help keep some of the wet out for a bit… but still your feet will get soaked eventually. Especially if you are out in the wet snow for more than an hour or so.

@@SagasuRunning Very interesting, thanks for the response. Enjoying all your reivews and information!

Rotating between low or high stack is a good thing and valuable to any runner. Also running in different drops. However, as with everything in running, it needs to be done in moderation and slowly at first. Let the body adjust and build first. That’s an important step.

Boston 12…. That sounds like your shoe, especially given how much you seem to like the SL. It will feel quite natural to you.

The Winflo 12 is a good looking shoe. It is more refined looking than the Peg 41, either version.

There isn’t anyone number. It depends on so many things. The barest advice I can give is to say that if the shoe is giving you new aches and pains that it never did before it might be time to retire it. If you follow my Strava you can see the shoes I’m currently running in and the distances on them. I track that stuff over there.
