 Pick these up yesterday the Nike vapor fly 4% I did a test run yesterday Go check the vlog out my first run bottom in a store Which I've heard that it's really hard to find these now in stores, and they're not on Amazon So I'm very grateful that I have a pair of these Basically, I started researching these shoes about two three weeks ago when Kipchogi from Kenya Set the world record in the marathon in these shoes. I just this past month. I Remember I'm along. I've been running for 20 years. I remember look at this guys. This proves I've been running for a long time when highly Gebra Salasi ran a 203 59 at marathon world record. He is from Ethiopia and this is a VHS tape of VHS tape for the generation Z people out there all you young ins out there Yes, I own a VHS tape. It's crazy. You have to rewind this thing, but this is a great movie. It's called Endurance It's about highly Gebra Salasi and his story and he used to have the 10k world record I think the 5k world record and the marathon world record now He does not Kipchogi now has them in the which he just ran in these shoes But anyway, I love good movie if you if you're a runner you got to watch this movie So last week I ran a 5k time trial. It went well ran 16 17 again I have done zero speed training all well for a long time I've just been running up in the mountains all summer doing ultra races But I'm intrigued to continue to get faster and try to run fast So these shoes are gonna be part of that formula for the rest of 2018 and yes, probably moving into 2019 running plans if you know what I mean, so I'm gonna put these on oh and by the way This is what the unboxing looked like yesterday It was a fun unboxing it was a fun unboxing all right time to put these on and go run a 10k as fast as I can We'll see how it goes. I don't know what it's gonna. I'm just gonna run I'm gonna run as fast as I can in these guys, but I will be yes carrying the GoPro 7 with me and it's gonna be cool All right, let's go. I mentioned this yesterday that I'm trying to get used to the fly knit upper I like it a lot. It feels good, but tying the shoe is just a little different because the tongue of the shoe is basically Completely different from any other shoe. I've ever worn so I got to tighten my right shoe. Oh Oh, man, okay. Good warm up. I feel good I'm gonna do a little more stretching and then get her done get going Basically the 5k last week was on a dirt track ran 1617. I feel pretty good about that today in the 10k I'm gonna it's on it's gonna be all on concrete these shoes are made for road races and concrete so I'm not gonna do it on a track the time trial and Basically, I am going to go out hard and then hold on I want to see what I can do and again no speed training in 2018. I'm just doing this off of Strength because I've been running a lot in the mountains here in Colorado So thanks for connecting.

So hit that subscribe button if you want to see more running shoe Reviews that are integrated into real-world living and the reality. Does that make sense? All right, I got to get going. Love you guys. Let's connect on Strava. You can see my mile splits there The link is down below Two miles and ten ten approximately See you at three. Am I excited to race a road half marathon or marathon in 2019? Yes. Yes, I am 33 flat for 6.2 miles No speed training just a time trial. Oh In the Nike zoom Vaporfly 4% flying in shoes. They felt good. I'll give you a full thought once I catch my breath Up in downtown Denver. So now I got to get back home Back at the house pretty cool. Pretty cool. I'm pretty excited. All right I'm not gonna give you my thoughts yet on the effort or nor the shoes yet I got to go work and then volunteer and add an event and then I'll be back in like eight or nine hours And I'll give you my thoughts. So stay tuned. They're coming up In the planter by the way did not hurt that bad. I it I can feel it, but it's not like killing me right now So that's a bonus. That's a bonus. All right, stay tuned. Don't go anywhere All right, the Nike vapor fly 4% review after after that 10 for that 10k effort is coming up. Stay tuned As we drop Because we drop water bottles we're off to October Feast October Fest and There's gonna be good food and good games, but stay tuned again. It's coming. It's coming real quick Different new camera. Yeah doing your dad We survived we survived October Fest was Exciting to put it lightly basically probably about four o'clock a wind kicked up and the temperatures went from the 70s Down into the 50s and now it's in the 40s hence the puffy jacket. It's go It's coming folks winter is coming, but before it comes we've got to keep running fast, right and the Nike vapor fly 4% may have helped me run fast today According to Strava my official time was 32 minutes and 59 seconds not bad for a 10k with no speed training I I know I keep saying that all day long, but it's I I can't tell you how important speed training and interval interval training is You know 800 repeats or 1k repeats or 400 meter repeats on a track or on a cross-country course marked off It's just it makes you go faster. So I am Excited I do think that this shoe the foam it I think the foam in this shoe will not last very long Basically if you get more than like a hundred really quality miles out of this shoe I bet the return on energy that 4% that they claim is going to start to diminish So I'm gonna actually not store these shoes out here in the cold I think that impacts the foam I'm gonna keep them inside under my bed where it's warmer because I don't want I want I want this foam to just be I want it to last as long as possible That's a tip of the day and so I'm reading an article that I found and basically I guess they've analyzed about 500,000 marathon running times and supposedly according to some Strava data and if you want to connect on Strava again, it's down below Basically it found that runners in the vapor flies the shoe that I ran it today did see like a three to four percent Faster than similar runners wearing other shoes. This is according to this article. Is that data accurate? I don't know but supposedly they found this data from the Strava app I don't know guys I felt good today and so last week running 16 17 for a 5k time trial on a dirt track And this week running on concrete in these shoes running 3259 like that's pretty good pacing and actually I forgot to mention this Today I ran 16-01 through the 5k so that's kind of nice to go faster than last week That was my goal was to go faster than last week And so if you're a runner who really takes racing seriously You may want to look into this and give it a test run Actually, you probably cannot give it a test run because running shoe stores are not letting you take it on a treadmill Or outside the store for a little test run, you know, how you can usually do that They're not letting you do that because it is expensive But they did they they don't want to damage the shoe because there is supposedly so much Technology built into it. I could feel the heel this point at the back. It felt, you know Just a little strange. That's like my probably my biggest critique at this point is this heel at the back I just got to get over that. I don't know. I got to get used to it. It's not an issue I don't think it's just different so keep that in mind the fly knit upper was epic I it's definitely very Flat on the bottom like there's no grip and so if it's like a wet surface on pavement be careful because there's really no grip on this thing and I'm impressed. I'm impressed. I will say that I you know to be able to run 32 minutes in 59 seconds as a 33 year old basically 33 minutes flat for as a 33 year old. I feel good about that So therefore folks, I strongly recommend it and I've only done, you know, nine miles now in it So give me a little more time for a full review, but I'm excited Thanks for being here.
