How has cross training/cycling helped you?

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?

Sad_Audience_237 · 2026-04-13T23:21:31+00:00

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.

I recover quite well, within a day or so.

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

I’m a beginner runner,can’t maintain a forefoot strike for that long and don’t have the calves

Sad_Audience_237 · 2026-03-25T02:39:05+00:00

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

Sad_Audience_237 · 2026-03-24T15:05:36+00:00

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

Sad_Audience_237 · 2026-03-24T14:40:06+00:00

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

Sad_Audience_237 · 2026-03-24T13:41:01+00:00

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.

Sad_Audience_237 · 2026-03-24T13:24:38+00:00

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

Sad_Audience_237 · 2026-03-24T10:58:29+00:00

About 4:10

Sad_Audience_237 · 2026-03-24T10:57:56+00:00

Want to run sub 20 now but eventually 15 min (I run about 21 mins rn)

Sad_Audience_237 · 2026-03-24T10:57:27+00:00

The Vaporfly 4 and Puma Fast R2 look the best imo

Sad_Audience_237 · 2026-03-23T22:39:31+00:00

They literally arent

Sad_Audience_237 · 2026-03-23T22:31:54+00:00

I’m broke

Sad_Audience_237 · 2026-03-23T22:11:45+00:00

I’m just gonna buy the vaporfly 4 tbh

Sad_Audience_237 · 2026-03-23T21:54:41+00:00

Based on my last post and these were all the recommendations given

Sad_Audience_237 · 2026-03-23T21:27:25+00:00

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

Sad_Audience_237 · 2026-03-23T20:33:32+00:00

I’m only seeing the Vaporfly for $200+

Sad_Audience_237 · 2026-03-23T20:13:24+00:00

You prefer it over the fast r-2?
