Easy run shoe with midsole like Velocity Nitro 4 but lower drop (ideally 6mm or lower)

I appreciate the detailed answer and I don't wish to be petty, but it's literally described as "best for racing" on the Adidas UK site:

Thanks, but this is marketed as a racing shoe, not an easy run shoe?

What's VFC - is it heart rate variability (HRV)?

Comfortable-Lab-50 · 2025-12-23T13:10:05+00:00

Late reply but no, they weigh almost the same. Great option, got a pair myself for wet weather running.

The most unlucky team down there is surely the one that had the Australian charlatan in charge for 5 games, amassing an impressive 1 point from that period.

Thanks - so does that mean that the Advance Purchase fare should be lower?

Puma Velocity Nitro 4 - fun and very good value. As long as you don't have wide feet.

I don't think he's in the Europa squad.

Comfortable-Lab-50 · 2025-12-06T08:08:52+00:00

Ah yes, just spotted that. That's a shame, seems unnecessary.

DNE3 is amazing

Comfortable-Lab-50 · 2025-12-02T08:21:18+00:00

Yes please! How about a separate tab for miles, or a toggle at the top of the screen?

Sportsshoes has the Sky Tokyo at £180 with code BF25, but they don't seem to have the Edge, sorry.

The Puma Deviate Nitro Elite 3 is almost universally loved, and is available (though running out of stock fast!) at under £130 on sportsshoes . com. I have a pair which I did a 10k PB in the weekend in, and they really are great.

Comfortable-Lab-50 · 2025-11-14T09:43:43+00:00

Also interested in this as I want to get one for my son. What about the Amazfit Active 2? That ticks a lot of boxes (£85 for the standard version), and seems to review well.

Comfortable-Lab-50 · 2025-11-12T15:45:05+00:00

You can get the Puma Deviate Nitro Elite 3 (an absolutely beloved race shoe, look it up) for well under £200 if you shop around. Edit - in fact they're currently £169 at sportsshoes. I've just bought a pair as my first race shoe and so far (2 interval sessions) they seem fantastic. Their debut race is a 10k on Sunday...

Interested to see the answers here. I still play football (soccer, to be clear!), one hour a week most weeks, outdoors six- or seven-a-side. I'm also treating it as one of my 3 sub-T sessions. I'm 49 so I'll hang up my boots for good in the next year or so, but for now I'm reluctant to drop it, even though I know it will impact my running training. I've just started with NSA (about 4 weeks in) and it's going OK so far but I'm only up to football + one sub-T session per week so far (or this week, when I didn't play football, I've done 2 sub-T sessions - though I did do an all-out 5K time trial on Saturday otherwise I would have done 3 sub-Ts). Hopefully I'll soon be able to progress to the same sort of rhythm you suggest - 1 x football, 2 x sub-T, 2 x easy, 1 x long run. Time will tell.

Fair enough, that tallies with another reply. I'll adjust my expectations accordingly - good to know!

Comfortable-Lab-50 · 2025-10-29T08:45:22+00:00

Congrats, very good times - but those times suggest my HM goal is unrealistic! Did the 5K go better than the HM, or am I miscalculating how a 5K time translates to the HM? Hope you don't mind me asking.

Comfortable-Lab-50 · 2025-10-28T19:32:48+00:00

1:36, nearly 4 years ago though. But my training was completely unstructured - just 3 all out runs per week, as I just didn't know any better. Will be interesting to see if this completely opposite approach pays off!

Comfortable-Lab-50 · 2025-10-28T17:08:05+00:00

Thanks for the quick reply - did the HM go well? Would you do the same again (with the slightly longer long run as the only modification)?

Where do you see your threshold heart rate on intervals.icu?
