How long is it gonna take you cinderblocks to understand it makes you 4% more efficient not 4% faster. I love the shoe but hate when people talk about the percentage in terms of time.

So efficiency has no bearing on time? This is a radical proposition, to say the least.

It would seem that in a time of highly-developed robotic technology, we could at least come up with decent algorithms of conversion of mechanical efficiency to time over distance.

Depends on the form of the runner. A runner with more of a heel strike will benefit more than a runner who runs like Rupp does. Speaking of Rupp.

So you went from 25min to 24min? Congrats!

30sec 3k pr...great shoes

BEST SHOES EVER!

I’ll be laughing at YOU at the start line in your chunky adios and I’ll be laughing at you as you cross the line 2 minutes behind me. Chumps.

Go fast. Go VF.

The shoe feeled like pogo stick on my feet I was able to bounce along at 6:00 pace for the entire marathon

you are extremely slow

Efficiency does have an effect on time but it is not a direct proportion

alot for some and not for others .......but the last 6 miles of a marathon 99% of people lose all the lift out of their stride. These shoes keep you rolling.

Has anyone who has run in the Vaporfly also run in other (non-Nike) shoes that replicate the Vaporfly?

Or at least fairly replicate the Vaporfly?

I find other companies are now making shoes that propel you forward, but I don't have Vaporfly...so I can't compare. But you can.

So how about some input.....thanks in advance.

I love my Skechers GOrun Forza 3. The rocker shape propels me into running greatness every single mile. They add about 2 inches to my height which gives me confidence when chatting up the ladies post race.

Yes it is. It's speed divided by oxygen consumption.

Most retarded video I've ever seen. They're showing a video of him running underwater as if that's comparable to how he normally runs lol...

Am I actually the first person to call this absolute moron out for calling someone an “absolute moran?”

That’s just not like the LR I’ve come to know and love.
