I’m actually pretty interested in these. I raced in a pair of Hoka Carbon X3s and got some good times over my training times. Buuuut I fell into the trap of training in them and ended up with IT band issues on both knees that I’m only just getting over months later. The lack of drop on these may be a perfect inbetween between my ASICS and Vibrams I train in and my Hokas.really interesting review, thanks 👍

It's not the heat or the humidity, it's the dew point! Good information! My biggest suggestion is, get a coach!!!!!. My coach and I have been together for 2.5 years. I've gone from a 3:47 to a 3:08 marathoner in 6 races. Ran Boston in 2023 and got invited to the Marathon Majors AG World championships in Sydney this September. I'm 61!

When did Kafuzi give a negative review? They are a hidden commercially.

This is such a huge problem. As an ultra runner - the getting the calories wrong over a 15-30 hours will absolutely make the differ between finish or not. Recovering from caloric deficiency during the race is so hard, so this isn’t a minor problem. It also happens to be positioned as a premier product that costs more than cheaper options. I felt so duped. Thanks for your coverage.

Hello

Had the nimbus 25 awhile now since late last year and almost ready to retire but unlike YT reviewers, I wasn’t ever impressed and felt like I wasted money, but I’m a ASICS superblasts fanboy, and just bought the Kayano to try, and I haven’t tried running in them yet, but my initial feel is I much prefer the rocker, and feel of the Kayano for me. Feels bouncier for me with a plusher upper, better lockdown, and much more comfy in every way and slightly better looking imo as well, less boat-looking. I’ve been having hamstring and hip issues and hope the stability elements will help me out maybe. Can’t wait to try them jogging tomorrow. The Kayano 30 feels like what I imagined the nimbus 25 would feel like for me, Pleasantly surprised.

Can you explain the intervals 2 x 800m 8-9 / 10 RPE. What does 8-9 / 10 RPE mean?

There is only one man being disparaging.

LMAO!!! @4:15 ...."Air max 95" 🤦‍♂️

thanks guys! this was one of the best pods on this topic that i've heard!

I went for my first run in the Lone Peak 8 today; it was a revelation for me. Altra offers me a comfortable shoe for my wide feet for the first time ever. Now I’m looking for a road running shoe from Altra.

The dual layers in the 880 midsole were Fresh FoamX and Fuelcell. (Ask any NB rep)NB did away with the dual layer in version 14 that is for sale today. I have 4 pairs of 880's ...all of them are V12/V13 . I love the feel and the nice toe off for faster runs.

Kerr has 3 wins over Ingebritgsen & is 26 yrs old….this is his last chance at Olympic gold…..Ingebritgsen has an Olympic gold & is 23 yrs with 12 career wins over Kerr….fastest miles this century is Ingebritgsen 3:43.73….Nuguse 3:43.97 & Josh Kerr 345.34….Ingebritgsen 345.60…Kerr has never gone under 3:29 for the 1500….Ingebritgsen 327.14…..Kerr might win or Nuguse but they will both have to run faster than ever before….Ingebritgsen is still the man but the world is coming….oh baby Paris will be great….The 5000m might also be a golden opportunity for Jakob in Paris.

are you guys trying to say 2hr:50min for a beginner marathon?

thanks for this video - I use that spring flavor gel almost exclusively and have noticed that it didn't give me the calories - energy I expected.

Great shoe for fast day training and even good for long runs, but I wouldn't race in it. It just doesn't feel like a race day shoe.

Like, like, like, like….please Michael cut out about 10 of them but good info and really good podcast 😂

I think they will race with the Pacer 2 in the Marathon etc..

Heavy and expensive at €280 😂. Amazing midsole though 🎉

The Roches didn’t coach athletes into success. Those athletes were already doing well so let’s not over credit them. They just need a lot of love and hugs from coaches. It’s pretty clear.

Very well said, from an ethical standpoint coaches should not accept sponsorships so that their athletes can be confident there is no financial bias behind the coach's recommendations. It's crazy how those two coaches Koop called out got away with not only promoting the product, saying they created the product to backpedaling to just being tastetesters and naming, to them not even using the product they promoted because they thought it was bad all because they are such positive and good people and their fans went and attacked Koop for calling them out. It's crazy how people disregard ethics.

Garmin says you get acclimated in 2 weeks of running above 22°C.

My HR is 10 points higher when it starts getting hot and humid..

Very interesting video. Regarding the Gels. My friend will not go on a run without it. Mental dependency because of the marketing. So I got him for €40 the Libre 2 CGM. To cut a long story short.. His blood sugar goes up in a first 20 minute or so. Stays elevated for the first 2 hours then drops slowly down to normal level by the end of the run. He started eating a Gummy bear for 5 cents each before the run and a few along the way for fun.. No more expensive gels. Spoke to a trainer who said that for any run upto 2 hours no gels needed.

I just went with an 860 coming from the vongo v5. The difference is great where the Vongo has more support and a much cleaner softer stretchier fabric and lighter. Also the Vongo v5 doesn't have the heel bounce that these 860s have. I am going to do 5 miles this evening with them and see how they go but so far not as good as my Vongo's.

I bought these, running a marathon in them on Saturday hopefully.

Great video. Currently training for my first sub-3 and documenting how it’s going on my CZcams channel 😊

Amusing review 🎉🎉🎉

Marathon Pour Tous is not open to public: It was a lottery that offers lottery bibs to those who joined the app and upload their runs to reached certain mileage to be eligible to be entered to lottery to run the Olympic marathon course. I am one of the earliest people who entered the lottery and got the spot. But she went beyond her way and stretched the truth for money. Very sad!!!

Nike They always fix these marathons and they dont even hide it someone with eyes, curiosity can see through it...Kipchoge never run against the recently deceased Kiptum because of this sponsor nonsense

Great show, thanks. As for the DQ, the fact that he turned to taunt his competitor is what got him tossed. A celebration alone probably wouldn't have done it. Once you turn around and direct your "celebration" to a fellow athlete and it's almost a guarantee you're getting thrown out. Not saying it's right (though I have to admit, I hate when guys do that sort of garbage) but it is pretty predictable. Plus, he ran 45.7 almost turning fully around! I wonder what he would have run had he just driven through the line. 45.2? (Olympic qualifying standard) Probably not, but it would have been a lot closer. Again, great discussion, thanks.

Googles Boston Marathon 2011 jacket. Ahhhhh ok

Excellent information that anyone can use for any goal time. A question if you may help with: which days should I replace my bike commutes with? I can ride to work on 2 of the weekdays and the duration is approximately an hour.

Just picked these up for £100 on ProDirect. Definitely worth it at that price but would never have paid £220

On Monster 2 sucks. Get the 1 guys, the 1 is much better

Thank you. Appreciate your information.

Do you run in the Brooks Ghost?

How many days off do you take after a big goal race?

I didn't think anything could be heavier than the Brooks Ghost Max.

Never Hoka! Never On! There's nothing more irritating than walking into a running shoe store and seeing half the customers trying on Hoka and the other half trying on On. Do your homework, people. I'm convinced that stores get higher margins off these two overhyped brands, which is why they push them. But that's just my opinion.

Good show

The volunteer in the blue shirt was clearly ready for him with 2 cups of water. The lady before that volunteer in the long sleeve white top was holding a cup out for him. It's his job to scoot over toward the water table even if he is the lead guy, safety for other runners and the race bikes means the volunteers need to stay off sides. And hear me out on this: did he go into the race with the knowledge that the volunteers weren't going to be ready for him and his water needs so better have dad available for hydration? No. This was a guy who had no plan of taking fluids at the aid stations. That was the reason he had his sherpa biking alongside! And for sure dad biking alongside helped. I run a lot faster when my friend bikes with me! DQ justified. Dude was well-supported by the race and volunteers he just chose not to take advantage of that support.

The Olympics is a global competiton. They should invite who they want just like any diamond league. Korir didn't run the time. He wasn't good enough, tough. The US isn't entitled to another spot.

dang... did NOT realize... his dad was biking next to him the whole time handing him water. how freaking convenient a lot of media forgets to MENTION THAAAAAAAT

You guys win the world championship of american football every year dude, how much more catering and free medals do you want? You could tune down your american privilege a few notch and you wouldnt be as obnoxious to the rest of the world, just a thought.

The process should have been more clear but I'm not gonna be mad at Sudan for having an athlete in the game. Sudan's got a hard enough time.

The beef is real. The next race will be crazy, Yang lost twice to 1st place.

Parkrun HQ and leadership have lost the plot if they think the sort of stats they have removed were in any way a barrier to new entrants. These stats were there but you had to look for them, it’s not as if they were blazed across the individual event sites. You get a text and email with your time, finishing position and age category. If you’re not interested in that kind of thing then that’s where it ends. If you are then go and look at the stats. Parkrun IS the most inclusive, friendly and supportive thing I’ve ever been involved with. That is not due to parkrun leadership (despite what they may think) it’s due to individuals who organise, volunteer and … of course… take part. All the stats did for me was to encourage me to try and improve where possible. Same for everyone else that I know who takes part. Classic case of distant management thinking they know best and taking their staff (in this case volunteers and participants) for granted. If you follow their warped logic to its conclusion then why bother timing it at all?

Why am I not surprised
