So if NB is using foam from Arkema, it's PEBAX, which is also PEBA. But if they are using PEBA from someone else, it's not PEBAX.

Yep, and if they were using the trademarked version, I expect they would say so.

Another progressive in the Adidas Takumi Sen 9 today. Happy that I feel comfortable in them for these efforts now so it's just about assessing whether I'm better in them or the Reeboks. The jury is still out after today's run.

VF4% for all of them for me because I haven't raced in anything more up to date.

As I don't do road, these are ancient.

Puma Saloh 5k
Inov-8 F-lite 230 5 mile

My HM last year was in the Reebok Floatride RunFast Pro and my road relays PB is in that as well.

My 5k & 10k pb's were in DS Trainer, pretty sure Marathon was too or possibly the Noosa Tri even.

My marathon PB was in the noughties version of the Vaporfly. It was as minimal as I could tolerate.

Velociraptor was that the Mayfly? I regret not getting a pair of those back then.

VF2 is probably my fave but I think the PBs were in the first version. That’s more to do with fitness and age than shoe though.

I think AF is a bit heavy. The newer version without the air pods is lighter again.
