i've been using my novablast 4 for daily training and all races 5k/10k and got my first sub 2 PB for my half marathon last month.. now i think about searching one race shoes,so may i know magic speed is the best choice because i already planned to buy one

Loved the video, very impressive. Do you know of any individuals that have had knee injuries / surgeries and successfully been able to come back and complete a sub 3 marathon ?

Should i buy ForeverRun or Saucony Hurricane 24? Thanks

Jamil Coury just put a ton of miles on the H1, to capture that chipotle segment. .., so there is that. I am definitely interested in that H1 first, and the T1 second.

7:56 I have a fairly long walking stride (being 6'6"/1.98m tall) and a thousand steps fit me is only a little more than a kilometre. My guess is a "step" was a full gait cycle: for a relatively short Roman I could imagine 1000 gait cycles would equate to around 1600m.

Nice. I really liked it. I knew the story behind the Greeks, but did not know a lot about the actual distances. Very well done.

One reason that super shoes are good for slower people is that the foam is softer and preserves the legs over 26miles

Great, informative fascinating lesson! Allegedly, Pheidippides said before dying, "Rejoice! We conquer!" (Which I always thought sounded really cool). I'll add that if you're a mid-packer 4 hour marathoner like myself, you will invariably end up running MORE than 26.2 miles in a marathon, though, with running around people, water stations, and not running the tangents correctly due to fatigue.

And then after the marathon distance was standardized in 1921 the Boston Marathon course had to be modified. When the Boston marathon, which was inspired by the first modern Olympics, first began the starting line was in the town of Ashland to make it 25 miles. But then they had to add a mile and change to the distance and so since 1922 the Boston Marathon has begun one town west in Hopkington.

Soon after that historical war and the messenger

Nice history lesson. I appreciate it!

Protein! Is good!🎉

All my medals are in a bin in my closet lol

I feel looking at elites for positive/ negative splits discussion is not good for amateurs. The elites are racing for victory so other factors come into play. We finish 8.647st place. Other logic applies 😂

Add Cordyceps to the list of legal performance enhancers 🍄

I personally think super shoes work for everyone. Even if youre not looking for faster times, go do a recovery run in a pair. I wore alphafly 3s on a day nike was letting our run club try them out but it was after a long run. Recovery run felt like I was floating with no effort. Slower Cadence, short stride, it definitely still worked. I also think there is a super shoe for everyone. I picked up some altra vanish carbon after having run most my races in vaporflys. I find myself going to the altras every single time now. All my PRs in them, my feet don't hurt near as much after a race. Maybe I'm giving up a small amount of performance? But I honestly don't care. I'm taking the mid run comfort, post run recovery over that small loss of performance.

You’re not selling it to me

The latest 860 is truly a good all rounder for most people with plantar. My question Sir is, what high quality show is very similar to the 860 as I would like to try another brand. I’m quite partial to Brooks as I’ve had them in the past. Anyway and brand is ok. I truly value your advice. Cheers NZ.

So pre-supershoe there was NO performance enhacing tech in shoes? We went from 0-100 did we? Come on.

Does this also apply to gels, electrolytes, caffeine, sweat wicking fabric? Essentially then the only trustworthy PBs are from the original Greek Olympics?

Has anyone done a marathon in WalMart shoes?

The title of the video "Super Shoes Don't Actually Make You Run a Faster Marathon" is contrary to the entire discussion. Everyone acknowledges that they do make you run a faster marathon.

I have been loving the Magic Speed 4!

Ok, but don’t forget, any shoe in itself is performance enhancing technology. So where do we draw the line? Should we all run barefoot?

I have my first marathon coming up in April 2025. I've run many half-marathons so I've worked out negative splitting quite well. My training is going well so far, although with a increase in volume, especially the long run, it's getting tougher and tougher each week. My goal for race day is to run a 3:15, planning a 1:38 for the first half and hopefully I'll be able to come home with a 1:37. At the moment I'm comfortably running a 1:33:30 for the HM (although I have gone sub-90). Just building my distance in training to hopefully get up to 32km-35km. Of course, I say all this but I suspect that despite a good race strategy and adequate fueling, I'll probably bonk and not even make 3:30 on race day.

I know someone will wear the heck out of those

I will wear it shopping 🎉

I like it 😂

Such an interesting, nuanced topic and obviously the super shoes have been game changers in the sport. Here’s a hot take from me: maybe the developments in fueling have quickly made as least a big of an impact. The 4% economy increase associated to the original Vaporfly (unfortunately an average with quite a big standard deviation, which is an interesting discussion on it’s own: are these shoes unfair because because they differentiate between responders and non-responders) has been calculated to give a 1-2% speed increase. But the recent insights in high carb fueling are leading to huge increasements in many endurance sports at the moment. Mainly in cycling (and recently in some spectacular ultrarunning records), but for example Kipchoge (and probably the whole NN Running team) has been on the bandwagon for years now. I remember an interview with his manager Valentijn Trouw where he explained they pushed his carb intake so far at one point they had to dial it down a bit to optimize it. As this development happened more or less parallel to the super shoes, I’m really curious what the differentiation between the effects on the surge of marathon performance improvement is!

I like the faster not fitter reference. Some refer to or seek the fastest by any means. Others refer to or seek the fittest as a measure of true performance.

Its interesting to note that easy volume seems to 2/3 of total across the board

Can it really be used for running?

I like the editing on these shorts. I listen to the audio on my runs so seeing your facial expressions with subtle music in the background makes these clips funnier(only funny because of the term raw dog being used in this context)

Runners from all generations have allways used the latest technologies. "Super' is just a label.

A friend is running a marathon in five fingers just to prove he can. He’s normally a 2:40:00 runner. He is training for same time. 30 minutes instead of a 12 to 16 week training plan he’s been on it for a whole year but he just wants to prove he can.

I liked the inner scorecard idea, as i concur. I love racing half marathon in Asics Hyperspeed, but even their stack heights are increasing. So, time for Asics Tartheredge or Lyteracer. In short, im not a fan of Super shoe. Ive tried it, and my feet feel lazy. To each their own, but the delima is........Am i going to be able to find a low stack racing (training) shoe in a few years?

Technologies, rules, equipment and training change over time. The records will be broken, but the athletes will be looked upon based on eras. Babe Ruth will be looked at differently than Aaron Judge in baseball. Serena Williams vs Chris Everett in tennis. Patrick Mahomes vs Joe Montana. Different times. Hard to compare. For the average runner, use whatever you're comfortable racing in that will give you the enjoyment of racing and giving your best effort. It's what makes you feel the happiest. . Will you feel better if you break a PB, but you know you didn't need to work as hard using a supershoe?

This is clearly not true stop spreading lies when it’s obvious these shoes DO make you run a faster it’s simple science….

Nah, in triathlon is in the reverse. If you don't own TT bike you are crippling yourself, can you do it without because guys in 80s did not had it? You can but why?

Not understood why superblast being just max cushion shoe are more expensive than magic speed which are carbon plated

Great tips. Thank you! Where is this awesome location? Also - any tips on running downhill on a paved road?

I've got both

I did a 12 mile long run averaging 10 minutes per mile across the distance and it was an excruciating, miserable experience. I did a 6.5 mile “easy” run at 5 mph. My heart rate fluctuated between 142 and 150 because of the hills. My zone 2 ends at 144. This was extremely difficult and uncomfortable for me, so when I hear and see all these runners talk about easy pace I have no idea what you’re talking about. Any slower than 5 mph and I’m basically just walking really fast. And even when I do that, over time my heart rate goes way up and I just pour out sweat. No matter how much I do this and for how long, it never gets “easy”. My exertion goes off the charts. I hate running but I want to finish a marathon. But the more I look at it, the less and less I think it’s possible.

Magic speed 4 is such an awesome shoes. I don't know why they'd received so many negative reviews from other youtubers. I'd recently switch to this shoes from the Endorphin Speed 3 which had given me ankle pain through out my speedworks. But the MS4 has been sublime, my run never felt easier and the best thing is I no longer have the injury.

This is my goal, but what should my heart rate be for the majority of the miles at the paces you suggested 8:46-9:09 min/mile?

Great review! My pair is on the way. Love the Skyward, hoping these will be at least half as fun as those. About finding running routes while traveling, Strava is great for that. I think it's a premium feature, but seeing popular running routes on trips is helpful!

Wow groundbreaking

60-70% of max hr will require me to walk or jog a little, bring hr down and resume running. Repeat. Is that ok?

Wow, I've never heard anyone else recommend Godspeed You! Black Emperor for running. I thought I was an outlier.
