  • Huge thank you to Puresport for making this happen. Today my mum and sister tried the Nike Vaporfly next% 2 and Nike Invincible running shoes, both with the super foam ZoomX down at our local 5k Park run.

    Your sister has made such a huge improvement to her parkrun time since Christmas!! I think she should get a video talking about what she’s done to work for it 😁

    Great video Ben, my wife has not been able to run for nearly 2 years due to a torn meniscus + covid killing the NHS queue but when she eventually gets back to in the invincible run seems like a good shout (do give us a long-term report on how your mom gets on with them please)

    Hey Ben, could you please do a video where you give your verdict of the Asics Metaspeed Sky+ and maybe give your thoughts comparing them to the Nike Alphafly and Vaporfly and why you would choose or prefer one over the other? That would be highly appreciated. 😁✌🏼 Thanks in advance.

    if you dont train, there's no shoes can make you better, in fact I run better barefoot. it proves that a shoe is completely irrelevant
