running a half marathon in Oct and currently train in the Pegasus 35s, and have ran in Pegs my entire life. my instinct is to get a pair of Peg Turbos for the race, to keep my shoes relatively the same. I am considering the VF and FK as well, since I don't want to leave and extra seconds on the table.
do the VF and FK perform as a neutral shoe like the Peg, or ride completely different, and am i leaving time on the table by going with the Peg Turbo?
I really really like the new peg turbo 2. I might be in a minority but I think it's a unicorn.
Perfect for long runs, recovery, and speed. Like trashy F U speed. I might not be as fast as others but I can run at 3-3:10/km in them and be perfectly content for km repeats (my high end stuff). I don't know if something like 4%/next actually makes me faster - just less wear on the body.
Peg turbo 1 though sucked for speed. Good for recovery but if I could run like a 3:45/k I was happy.
Not sure what flynit 3 means, but I haven't worn the new zoomfly 3s yet. I sort of liked the 2 (the flynit version) but it still always left me wanting a 4%. The turbo 2 is like the best parts of the ZF2 + Turbo 1.
yes, sorry, zoomfly 3, not flyknit 3.
too many similar names

Not so much (or not any longer).
But, I did see them at the Nike Store nearby for $125 and online for about the same at Hibbett's recently so I thought I'd give them a shot.

Actually in the grey colorway with 25% off code 'SPRINT' they are $87. Just bought a pair 5 minutes ago.
Great - thank you! Their site is wonky. I had to select black and grey, then deselect black to get them to show up.
How do you find these deals? Anyway, thanks, just stocked up 3 pairs as I also love this shoe.
