I tried the Magic Speed didn’t like them had a couple of runs in them easy, tempo and speed work. The Sky and Edge are good speedwork/race shoe the Paris will be my go to A race. Moving away from VF and AF but don’t wanna sell them 🙈. Also just brought some Novas for everyday use |

Magic Speed for shorter sharper stuff and the long runs with more mp stuff in them. Meta Speed to race in. Might be flawed logic, so willing to be corrected. Looks like the perfect ASICS rotation there. They might what to convince you to get the Superblast 2 as well, lol. |

For the 'science', I wore the Streakfly for today's run which was on very tired legs after yesterday's session. As expected, it was a tough experience even though I was prepared for it. My ankles felt like they were working a lot harder than they would have been in my standard daily shoe which can be useful sometimes but probably not what you want on seriously fatigued legs. I think for most of you with supershoes you could use for track workouts especially coming from a road background, the Streakfly wouldn't have much utility. |

HOD, I'd be interested in your thoughts on how the Sky Paris shoes compare with the Nikes.

@SPR. Thanks. It will be interesting to hear @Hills of Death (HOD)'s real world experience over the coming weeks.

Took the Streakfly out for 9 miles including 6 x 1000, slower for what felt like the same effort Vs the Takumi Sen 9 as you'd expect. What I realised just before the start of the third rep due to a downhill section was that I needed to focus more on cadence to run faster in the shoe. Still harder work, but was easier to get up to speed than first couple of reps. I doubt I'll use them for this session again, but I may use the Rivera 2 for this every so often to check I'm not getting 'lazy'.

I asked Sportsshoes when they expect to get 13.5 in the New Balance SC Pacer V2. They said they don't know and then suggested the ASICS Kayano 31 as an alternative 🤣
