I have become a Saucony sucker. Im using the Triumph 21, Endorphin Speed 3, the Pro 3 and Peregrine 14.
This is a nice workout session Ben. I am going to have to try it. It doesn't seem incredibly strenuous and is at about the right volume for me right now. I see that you are using the carbon plated shoes more often in training. Do they still break down after a 100 - 150 miles? I know some of the initial Nike shoes had this issue (apparently). I haven't upgraded to the carbon plated shoes, preferring fairly bulky trainers for every day running and speed sessions and saving the racing flats for 5K / 10K races. As always, I enjoy your videos and watch each and every one of them.
Great content, so what would you choose for a 5k distance from a performance standpoint?
Thanks for the review. How many kilometers Do you think you can get out of the Pro 3 before it starts to lose its effect?
Ha so many other fitness youtubers would shudder at your breakfast choice! Love it.

Hey Ben, I've just got some VF's but now i want these as well, do you think these could work well as a trainer to them?, i know they have the speed 3's for training, but just thought these would be more fun(also don't have to worry about durability it looks like for these)
Have you tried the Endorphin pro plus? I also found it a bit slippery for track sessions on the curves doing 400's. But for road runs its by far my favorite shoe over the vaporfly's even, especially for longer faster runs. I really enjoyed the foam and the upper. Haven't tried the 3's yet but might give em a go. Thanks for your review!
I’ve always been a fan of the original Saucony Endorphin Speed, though mine are wearing out. I think I will be switching to the pro’s, thanks to this video Ben! 👍

The pro 3 are a big improvement in my opinion! Feel like saucony can finally be competitive amongst the likes of Nike/adidas
I love my speeds. I’ll probably go another round with the speed 2s at discount then move to speed 3s.

Dye is a problem also with Asics Metaspeed Sky OG. I have the orange version and dye stays on socks in the toe area.
I’m just waiting on some pro 3s being delivered. Not because I’m any good at running or want to compete but because they’re supposed to be light, fun, bouncy, propulsive, comfortable, good at all paces and quite stable. I just wanted to try a super shoe and this seemed like the one. In terms of the cost running is an extremely cheap sport and I got 10% off somehow.

I’m looking for a new pair of sauconys to run the London marathon in (a pb hopefully) - are these the ones?
What shoes would you recommend for fast race 5k in forest ? a bit of sand I thought about SAUCONY PEREGRINE 12
All of the major brands' super shoe offerings seem like very good options. I think it all boils down to 2 things: fit/comfort and durability. I would say one last factor would be price, but unfortunately, most, if not all, super shoes are expensive.
I just upgraded from my Speed 1 to Speed 2 on sale. Love them. Looking forward to trying the Speed 3. Not sure I would ever go to Pro styles - partly because they are so $$$, don't like that stack height, and really not sure as a slower runner if there is any point in a carbon plate shoe for me.

Carbon racing shoes have the same efficiency benefits for all ability’s in my opinion. Going for the previous iteration is a great tip though for saving some pennies
I'm a fairly new runner, started running in April and have my biggest race yet planned in October (10 Miles). I currently run in the Pegasus 38s; is there any recommendation or advise for when to keep the Nikes for daily/training but maybe upgrade to a pricier / speed-orientated shoe for race days? I'm hesitant to make the jump as I don't want to feel like they're wasted on me whilst I'm still quite new? If that makes sense? Big fan of your channel, picked up loads of tips and snippets of advise over the past few months from your recent and older content!

I’d say anyone who enjoys running and is looking to get the best out of there race is certainly worth a pair of speed focused shoes. Something like the saucony speed would be great for racing but also for any faster tempo work you do in your training. If moneys no issues get a carbon racing shoe for sure as they certainly make the difference regardless of how fast you run in my opinion. Something like the ASICS Metaspeed sky+ or the adidas pro 3 would be great options :)
Thinking about an espresso machine for Christmas for my wife. Which one do you have?
How does it compare to the adios pro 3?
Do I go for the 2’s or 3’s - are they worth the extra £££££.
With this session do you think it is a great predictor for the 5k? I am much slower but I can consistantly run close to 3:20-3:25 on my reps. Do you think that means I'm close to sub 17 shape? I do 1 minute rest in between
@TimNguyen825
Жыл бұрын
I personally think so. Depending on what your PRs are and your general fitness I think you are in the low 17s to sub 17. It takes 3:24/k to run 17 so if you can average 3:20ish in practice or maybe a little faster you can go sub 17

@@TimNguyen825 okay thank you. My PR's are actually very high since I took a break fron running road 5k's (I'm going into my freshman year of college) since I had cross country, track, and focused on 10k to half marathon for a while. I just want to break 17:30 in all honesty because my PR is only 18:25 and it was during an 8k. Since I can hit 3:20s I think hopefully I can put it together on race day and run 17:30>

I’d say it’s a good predictor yes however it does depend how much your putting into the reps. If you going all out then that’s likely to be a little faster than your 5k pace
