Will be racing a 5000 tomorrow. My goal is 14:30. I’m not expecting to have to deal with any sudden pace changes/ surges, and a final kick isn’t that important either (time is more valuable, and I can kick decently in them anyway).
Stack height regulations don’t apply.
Mods, I know you have the ability to change a thread title. This one should read:
Nike interns notice a lack of threads about them.
Mods can see my IP address. It’s not in Oregon.
I’d be willing to provide proof privately, of course, to mods
Trainers
Clown shoes. And both of those shoes are sure to give you PF.
The Mizuno Rebellion Wave is a much better shoe.
I also own a pair of Streakfly and Metaspeed Sky+ that I had considered but don’t like (Streakfly are too slow, and I don’t like cornering in the Metaspeed)
Obviously personal preference is the biggest factor here but I personally prefer the Dragonflys. I find my Vaporflys can feel a little cumbersome going around the turns because of the extra stack. I'm way slower but I really love the feel of spikes and the dragonflys manage to provide that extra bite without being uncomfortable.
Shouldn't you have figured this out already in training?

well seeing as only one of them is track legal...
My only injury has been in trainers.
I ran a road 5k in Vaporflies and an indoor one in Dragonflies. I didn’t like how the Dragonfly felt - I didn’t feel like there was enough cushioning or “pop”, but the Vaporfly had both.
The only reason I’m not 100% set on the Vaporfly is that it’s easier to kick a final 200 in spikes, but I could kick about a 30 in Vaporflies instead of possibly a 28. If I’m 5 seconds faster in the Vaporfly until that point, I still come out ahead
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
