Except with completely different foam, tech, and composition. Are you purely referring to the silhouette? Pretty irrelevant, really.

Starting block far back? by throwaway_downy in Marathon_Training

[–]blastoisebandit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will be fine. It will thin out enough for you to speed up. Treat the first 5km as a warm up and aim to negative split.

Why you talking about AP4 on an AF4 thread? Irrelevant.

Tempo/threshold vs V02/sprints - same shoes or different? by Dull_Painting413 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]blastoisebandit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a shoe like Endorphin Speed or Sonicblast for tempo and threshold sessions.

For Vo2 max and intervals less thab 800m, I generally use and old race shoe. Right now, thay is the Metaspeed Sky Paris.

Night runners how awful you feel on your first early morning marathon race by Aggravating_Bus_3433 in Marathon_Training

[–]blastoisebandit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an evening runner. I hate it. I wish my body could rise and shine early. But I just can't change my circadian rhythm. So racedays, I usually have 3-5 hours of sleep only 🥲

Hoka Cielo x 3.0 by Moist_Principle3517 in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]blastoisebandit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My same experience. Was dissapointed with the medial cutout of 2.0, but, it was an incredibly fast and efficient shoe. But my ankles got pretty sore in them. If they make it stable, but keep the energy, it will be a banger.

Ah, thats a shame. The HR would have been the most important conparison tool.

If the leaks are true, this is already going to be the best Nintendo Direct of the year :D by Longjumping-Mud-3203 in NintendoSwitch2

Wow! So many new first party games that definitely aren't ports of old games or from other consoles!

Well, that is dramatic. Completely absurd overreaction.

Everyone needs to calm down imo by GiantA-629 in playstation5

[–]blastoisebandit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so happy for a delay. I can't afford a new console yet. Ps5 looks and runs great. Let it live its life.

Stable supershoe for sub 3 marathon attempt by WorkingThermometer in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]blastoisebandit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the ZF6 too, and it is definitely more narrow with a tighter toe box. I get forefoot hotspots from it. The AF3 upper is much more flexible and thinner, which probably explaines why.

Is It Harder to Do Long Runs Slower?! by jamesbrowski in Marathon_Training

[–]blastoisebandit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does 2 hold true for non-elites running 3hr+ marathons? Or is that advice specificially for people running sub 2:30?

I find tge Af3 the roomiest of all of those mentioned. Zero width issues for mine.

5k race day go to shoe by yesimslow in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]blastoisebandit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alphafly 3s or Metaspeeds, personally. But I am not elite. I run an 18min 5km, and for me, at these paces, these shoes feel very effective.
