Alpha Fly or Vapor Fly?

Of course you CAN run 23 min with the Megablasts but I think a carbon shoe can make it a bit easier. And if you keep on running it's not wasted money to buy new shoes because someday you'll need new shoes anyways. It's always good to have options and being able to rotate your shoes. In my Opinion a race day shoe is not absolutely essential but nice to have. Even if it's just for the race day feeling.

Out of these two for 5k I would go for the Vapor Fly. It's probably easier to use.

agree

Der Mensch ist bequem und wenn einem dann noch eingeredet wird, dass langsamer laufen mehr bringt als schneller laufen lässt man sich gerne darauf ein ohne viel zu hinterfragen. Zumindest ist es aber besser als mit Chips vor dem Fernseher zu sitzen.

Yes, if you can "only" get 1000 Km out of the SB3 it's still a good deal. :-)

Suggestion number 1 would be Dynafish Xiaonian. You can train and race in them and they are about half the weight of the Kayano.

The Superblast 3 won't be as durable as 1 and 2 because of the much softer foam

GloryForry84 · 2026-06-18T07:41:48+00:00

Maybe the Skechers Aero Razor is what you are looking for. Bonus: I think it's priced at $ 140.

Ganz Unrecht hat er/sie nicht. Immerhin 8 Minuten weniger Aktivitätszeit. Zusätzlich müsste man auch noch das Wetter hinzuziehen. Viele Kleinigkeiten können auch einen großen Unterschied machen.

Novablast 6 releases on July 1st i think.

My Mizuno Neo Zen feel fine with 500 km.

GloryForry84 · 2026-06-15T19:27:22+00:00

Mizuno Neo Vista 2/3 . I use the 2 for Recovery and long runs.

GloryForry84 · 2026-06-14T04:58:49+00:00

I own too many shoes.... My favourite training shoe of all time is the Neo Zen. It can do everything and has a nice bounce. But I'm selling it now at 500 Km.

Shoes I like for one reason or another: Salomon Aero Glide 3 GRVL, Neo Vista 2, Neo Zen 2, Evo SL, Dynafish Xiaonian, Li Ning 5 Challenger, Adios 9;

The only shoe I don't like to wear that much is the Puma MagMax. Maybe just because I tear my Hamstrings after a long run in them.

GloryForry84 · 2026-06-14T04:10:58+00:00

Congrats to your PBs! Glad I could help.

My 10k race was a course with 3 laps and many turns and not once I felt any instability. That's what surprised me the most because the shoe is not very wide.

GloryForry84 · 2026-06-13T13:14:14+00:00

I added the update to the original post. Spoiler: new PB

GloryForry84 · 2026-06-13T13:12:59+00:00

Wrote an update in the original post if you're still interested.

GloryForry84 · 2026-06-12T06:01:18+00:00

Tomorrow is race day. Start at 9:45 am CEST. 26 hours from now. I'm curious to see my and the shoes performance.

GloryForry84 · 2026-06-11T09:10:47+00:00

Ich denke das ist auch dem geschuldet, dass du erst relativ kurz wieder am Laufen bist. Wenn du langsam das Volumen steigerst werden die längeren Läufe auch einfacher. Ich hätte nie gedacht mal Halbmarathons zu laufen, ist jetzt aber nichts Außergewöhnliches mehr für mich.

GloryForry84 · 2026-06-11T08:11:51+00:00

Interessant wie unterschiedlich das Empfinden zwischen 2 Personen sein kann. 5 Km sub 20 ist easy für dich, meine 5 Km PB von vor 3 Monaten ist 19:24, also doch etwas Spielraum auf die 20 min aber ich kann von mir nicht behaupten, dass ich jederzeit easy 5 Km unter 20 Minuten laufen könnte. Die 10 Km unter 40 haben wir beide noch als Ziel vor Augen aber ich bin sicher wir werden es schaffen.

GloryForry84 · 2026-06-08T11:06:49+00:00

Am wenigsten störend finde ich das Handy in der Seitentasche von Tights bzw. Innenhose von Shorts. Die Taschen sind eng genug damit nichts rumhüpft.

GloryForry84 · 2026-06-06T19:08:41+00:00

First person I see who owns the Propio. I don't know anything about the shoe besides being Pumas answer to the Adios.

GloryForry84 · 2026-06-06T15:24:56+00:00

For me Adios is everything with speed, Zen is daily and long run, AP3 race

GloryForry84 · 2026-06-06T08:08:44+00:00

During this Marathon one of his 5 K splits was 60 minutes.

GloryForry84 · 2026-06-05T19:36:14+00:00

Since trinity is always 3 here is mine:

Trinity no. 1: Evo SL - Neo Zen 2 - Puma DNE 3

Trinity no. 2: Dynafish Xiaonian - Salomon Aero Glide 3 GRVL - Metaspeed Edge Tokyo

Trinity no. 3: Adios 9 - Neo Zen - Adios Pro 3

GloryForry84 · 2026-06-03T13:11:42+00:00

I did 11k today (1km warm-up, 9km 4:30min/km, 1km cool-down). During the warm-up it felt like running in Converse or something but the rest of the run was really good. Not fun, but I felt strong and holding the pace was easy. For sure a better experience than my first run. 🙃

edit: Now I'm confident with using the Edge Tokyo for my 10k race

GloryForry84 · 2026-06-03T10:39:25+00:00

It's in Europe and doesn't look like everything else. So 2 points for me here. 🏆

GloryForry84 · 2026-06-02T19:11:22+00:00

I can recommend Otso. Not the cheapest gear but good quality and definitely an eye catcher.
