First workout in Nike Next%

you started a thread because you bought some vaporflies? every runner on the internet already has two pairs and an old pair for training in.

Seems like everyone on this site is so opposed to wearing vaporflys they have never tried them. Figured I would share my experience with them.

Au contraire. Everyone's tried the original or the flyknit.

I liked his post too.

one bored poster could be posting dozens or even hundreds of times anonymously. the Brojos are aware of this as they will occasionally take down threads with such posters

I think it was a test to find this nugget of lunacy. Probably means we can join the CIA or Men in Black now or something.

Another noticable difference was that post workout my calves felt much better than normal post workout. Could have been due to the enegery return and not having to push my calves as hard to run fast.

Nope, it's because they partially act like a "tendon" removing load from your calves. You can push harder but your legs will still be saved. It's actually what I like most about these shoes. They allow me to train harder with much less dead legs.

What are your training shoes? Not for the faster performance, but I've heard runners remark on the less fatigue/less work with Hokas...I was looking to have the best of both worlds with the following: Hokas everyday, Pegasus, Vaporflies, and Frees 5.0. figure this way it's kind of a healthy balance between strengthen, rest and performance.

I'm running in Vaporfly 4% now on all my runs including easy runs. It's been 6+ months now and going great

I normally train in nike structures. Could be why the shoes feel so much more springy. I've never heard that about Hokas. I have wanted to try them out.

How’s the wear on the sole? I’ve worn mine for probably 15ish miles most on the track and seen some wear on the front rubber

I have around 30 miles on mine and am already noticing some wear. Seems like the foam breaks down crazy fast on the bottom of the shoe. Looks like certain parts have been rubbed with sand paper. The rubber on the front isnt too bad on mine but havent run on a track with them. Hoping they last to at least 100 miles but we will see.

The Carbon X is very stiff

I have over 200 miles on mine and the bottom show minimal wear. Especially the heel since I'm not a heel striker. Going at 7 min pace they feel horrible IMO. But once you get down to about 6:30s they feel great. The faster the better. At sub 6 the feel pretty darn smooth.
