Asics Metaspeed Sky Paris | Marathon Workout TEST (15x 1KM)
In today's video I headed down to London to train with 2:20 marathon runner Nick Bester for a 15x 1km Marathon workout. I took the new Asics Metaspeed Sky Paris with me for proper test and spoiler, I'm very excited about this one. We're talking best ever contender.

I have seen snippets of your workout with Nick on other platforms, and I have to say, doing 15 by K is a killer session, I just did 6x1k today and it destroyed me completely. Kudos to You Ben, rooting for You!

You're doing it wrong, obviously. Until you run these intervals at ~3min/km pace, you should do 10-15 intervals by 3 mins at hm pace.

@@maxm5967 k rep workouts can be done in a number of different ways. No way is wrong, they can just be more specific to certain distances as well as ability. For example when I train for a 5k race I will do 6X1k, faster than this workout of longer recoveries.
in 2 months i'll be running my first half marathon in battersea park so seeing this was really motivating

Wish you the best, Enjoy it!!!!!
I almost skipped this video (don’t really like the shoe reviews, unless I want to buy new ones). Liked watching this collab with Nick. Both your channels are awesome.
I just did 6x6min (6:20mile pace) and it wrecked me. Gonna have a go at this workout next time
15 x 1k?? Absolute maniac
Nice to see the session for the second time, Ben! (Saw it on Nick's channel first.) You are right, it is good to train with someone at times - although the mental effort and reward of grinding out solo sessions cannot be underestimated. If you had done this session solo the odds are that you would have slowed slightly in reps 11-13 whichnis not a good thing because in a race situation that is exactly the point of the rrace that you really want to maintain your pace.
Great collaboration guys. Have a good race at Bath Ben, I'm racing it too, so may see you ( briefly 😂) on the start line 👍
Loved seeing you run with my coach 😉, he’s a top guy. So frustrated that the ASICS shoes haven’t dropped yet. Do you have any inside info on what’s going on? Do you prefer them over the alpha fly 3?
See you in Bath Ben! and good luck 🙌
Today I got a pair of metaspeed sky and a pair of alphafly 3 US 11.5. I have to admit the the asics feels more comfy then the alphafly 3. I now thinking I want to adept to the body alphafly or not. Normally I run daily with altra Torin.

Ben great video. Quick question for you.. i love the endorphin pro 3. Bought the pro 4s and ran once in them and hated them actually my right knee tightened up bad due to the squishy midsole and wider base.. sent them back!! Anyways. Whats the paris like compared to the endorphin pro. ??
Though this is Sky I can’t wait to try my Edge. Nice video though
Metaspeed Sky Paris vs Mizunos Rebellion Pro 2? 😀😀For 10k-Half race shoe and longrun/workout use.
Do you suggest going with the same size as the Metaspeed sky +? Ive heard some reviewers say that the new Paris versions run larger/longer than previous versions.
What's the name of the guy who said that "You want to gain fitness, not proove fitness" ?
You should try the Edge Paris before deciding.

Great content again. Always enjoy the videos. But what happened to the podcast? Is there any hope it’s coming back anytime soon? 😢
Any thoughts on efficiency of the Sky Paris or Edge Paris vs a pair of box fresh Alphafly 1
Ive recently started 1K reps on the track with my club. At my current level, we've been doing 10X 1K at 4:00K pace or just under.
Great video. Really inspiring me to get out running 🔥 Are these sold out as cant find them on website?

Can these be used for everyday running 5-8miles a day. (Pro boxer use)
Do ASICS make any super shoes over size 12uk? Can’t seem to find. I’m size 13 in all Nikes etc
Which one is more similar to Adios Pro 3? I'm thinking about switching to the Metaspeed Paris series

The edge is - I run in the pro 3 and though it has more of a landing base in the rear and the forefoot, I believe the carbon plate placement is more similar to the edge where it swoops down in the mid foot area and more of the the cushion foam in the front is between the foot and carbon plate, whereas in the sky, the carbon plate stays closer to the foot the entire shoe from rear to back. The carbon plate placement on the edge is also more on par with the vapor fly 3. The edge is narrow like the pro 2 so maybe some getting used to or like the VP3
I just bought these aiming for a 3:45 marathon in June… is my pace too slow for these to work for me? I wore the VF3s during my last marathon and they seemed to work well for me…
Very Nice!!! 💯🤙🏻
Do these need a break-in period or are they ready to race out of the box?
You recently tested the Alphafly 3 and seemed to like it a lot - in what ways does the Sky Paris work better for you? And are you still considering racing a marathon in the Alphafly 3?
@BenIsRunning

Yeah the alohafly 3 and sky Paris I’d say are my top contenders for Copenhagen. The alphafly just offers a little more protection that I feel may be more suited to the marathon. The sky Paris is more direct so would be a no brainer for the 5/10k but need to test over a half to know for sure. All of course is just my personal preference

@@BenIsRunning thanks. I absolutely love the Sky+ and all my current PBs are in that shoe. I have Manchester in a few weeks and am torn between the Sky+, the Paris (if I can get it) and the AF3. The Sky+ is the safe choice, but I'm going for a BQ and AF3/Paris are probably faster shoes now and easier on the legs for a whole marathon. As you say, it's very personal.
I am looking to buying one of these, but since you mentioned that the new shoe is more narrow, should i go for the metaspeed SKY+ instead for a half marathon? I have the novablast 3 for comparison and i have no problems with that shoe.

If only worry about the fit of the sky Paris if you have a wider foot. I’d get down to an asics store if you can and try them out- only way to know for sure :)
When is the UK release. Was meant to be March 4th. No update from Asics either. Very poor from them. Anyone know a new release date. Good video as usual. Can’t wait to get these shoes. Love the colour. Shyu socks are the best to. Cool company to deal with.

anyone can buy them, anyone can use them, not sure how cheating could even be a thing. it's not so much that wearing them is cheating, it's more that not using them is...losing.
Once you run in ASICS running shoes nothing else will make sense to run in.
