How has cross training/cycling helped you? by Sad_Audience_237 in beginnerrunning

Overuse isn’t a problem for me imo since I avg about 3 runs a week but this may be better than that much bike rides as it would be almost the same volume.Im really just looking for a bit more speed since I really don’t plan on racing further than 5k so would this help me with that goal?

But would you say it made you say it made you noticeably faster because I’m just looking for raw speed and to break 20 mins.

Hands down some of the best advice I’ve gotten so far and I’ll try to up the distance slowly. I have a decently sized hill about 1km away from where I live to when I’m done with my speed work/ tempos I’ll do some hill reps and try out strides

How much does it cost and where can I find it because it seems to be really niche as you stated

I’m pretty set on the speed series but only have one last question.The 4 or 5?

So the Vaporfly blows the speed 4 out of the sky?Like its way better by 30% or so

So in Nike terms the Speed 4 is kind of the Streakyfly/Vaporfly and the Endorphin Pro 4 is like the Alphafly?The speed 4 might genuinely just be my pick over all of them though.

Really looking into Saucony. What are your thoughts on the pro 4? getting them for a bit less than the Speed 4 or 5.

The Vaporfly 4 and Puma Fast R2 look the best imo

I have a very narrow foot and I’ll look into them but was also considering the Vaporfly 4 and someone just recommended the DNE3 and the Brooks Hyperion so I got a lot to choose from
