Did a PB in training with the PUMA deviate Nitro elite 3 yesterday. So good to run in I have a 10 k race soon and hoping to achieve a PB in them too. Great video hope everyone watching finds the shoe for them.
The Asics Sky Paris (also in the video) is very good for 10k even to a Half Marathon in my opinion. I'm a huge fan of Nike, but genuinely surprised how good the Asics Sky Paris is.
I would recommend two things. First. Have 2-3 shoes on rotation at any time. This allows the foam to recover from one workout to the other. Your feet also work in different ways with each shoe. Second. After 300,400 miles a buy a new pair of shoes. I used them and try to feel any difference with my old ones. If they feel like clouds, time to change. If I can't see a huge difference, save them and test in a month or so.
A big stack height will reduce the stability of the shoe and make it heavier, which is not ideal for a fast 5K. The rocker, on the other hand, can be beneficial as it improves forward propulsion, but only if you're used to it and racing in the 19-20 minute range or faster.
Because it's to achieve a 5k PR for someone that consider themselves slow runners. The point is that a shoe for a 35 minute PR can be different for someone trying to run a 17 minute PR

That's awesome. There is no doubt that having the right shoe can make a huge difference. Good luck on your 10k
@bannistercoach Thanks I came 13th in the 10k out 381 participants the shoes felt fantastic.
Great video. I have been weighing up whether to get some Takumi Sens for track sessions, 5k and maybe 10k races. This was really helpful.
Glad I could help! The Takumi Sens are great shoes for your purpose.
Besides Vaporfly what shoe is also good for longer distances as well but excellent for shorter distance?

Puma fast-r 2, Adidas pro evo
Agree. The Asics Sky Paris are another great option.
What is a good rotation of shoes for someone 6’1 235lbs transitioning from bodybuilding? I have about 400miles in my Nike Invincible 3s.

How do other shoe metrics like stack height & rocker affect racing performance for 5K? Or is that just for more comfortable long runs?

Why would a super shoe for slow runners be one of the best shoes for a 5k PR?

Vapor 2 ❤
100% agree. I love those shoes. To bad it's so hard to get a pair these days.
