Alphafly for the rest of us?!

Anna (Running Channel) gets her mum to try out the Nike Alphafly

youtube.com/watch?v=uVTU2B4...

I got a pair half price in the Nike sale myself, but haven't tried them yet, as in a post Christmas slow run I gave myself a case of runner's knee, so took a couple of weeks off, and I'm now jogging very slowly in a pair of super cushioned Nike Invincible Run that I also picked up half price and which have even more of the Zoomx foam that makes the Alphafly so soft and bouncy.

Cushioning? What's that? 😆👣

Ah yes! 🤣I don't think I would make it 10 yards down the road in your "footwear"!

In my defence I am more than ten years older and several stone overweight - I need all the cushioning I can get!

😢😁

That was such a fun episode to watch! And her posture improved so much once she got those bad boys on her feet!

The posture effect is amazing. I've only tried mine on, not run in them, but already I could feel them tipping me forward.

Recently got myself the saucony endorphin speed 2 for racing. Has a nylon plate in it and is nice and bouncy without the stiffness of a carbon plate. Stockport daffodil 10k this Sunday so maybe I can get closer to that 40 minute mark in them! Already broke the 20 minute 5k in my first outing with them.
