2024 BEST RUNNING SHOES FOR EACH DISTANCE - 5K, 10K, HALF & FULL MARATHON - EDDBUD

Great video as usual, Mr B!

Awesome that you're doing Manchester 2025. I am too, but I'll be a little way behind you, aiming for the hallowed sub 4.

Yes the Eddbud will be doing Manchester. I’m from Ireland and skipping over in April to run the marathon. Hope to catch you for a photo. Cheers for the great content.

Nike Vaporfly?

All my PBs are in the Superblast 2!

I do have a new pair of Takumi Sen 9s though, so might throw them at a parkrun this weekend with your recommendation ringing in my ears.

no adidas pro 3 for marathon?

I’ve run in - and loved - both the Nitro Elite 1 & 2 and am so keen to try the 3, but as you said Edd they’re impossible to find. It’s a shame that Puma have released such an acclaimed shoe without people being able to actually buy the thing. Wonder if they underestimated demand.

wow this is very good but you should do the daily trainer for the distances too

How would the Hoka mock X2 do in a 5K?

I often use different shoes just cos I like to try different shoes..if I want something special for a particular race I will always go for the NB elite V3 or the hoka rocket x2..both are guaranteed to give me the best,no excuses ride on any race of any distance..

Puma nitro elite 3s are amazing

One choice! The new Nike Zoom Fly 6 or the Saucony Pro 4? Which one Edd? Great video by the way! 👍

My PBs are in:

1km - Superblast 1
5km - Novablast 4
10km - Metaspeed Sky Plus
HM - Metaspeed Sky Plus
Marathon - Superblast 1
50km - Novablast 4

All Asics!

I shall be there in Manchester Edd. I might have been overly ambitious on my predicted time, but he who dares wins!

Would of put the puma fast r1 for 5 and 10k.its a rapid shoe and I will be using it for benidorm 10k in a couple of weeks

Great video Ed!! I think the VF1 for 5k, VF3 for 10k and AF3 for half and full marathons. Shout out to the Hoka Cielo X1 for marathon runner up 🙌🏽

Nike Vaporfly V1 or V2 for any distance.

I couldn't agree more with your take on the Endorphin Elite for a 5k Edd, I absolutely love that shoe for all distances, and it's currently a front runner for my 1st Marathon in Manchester in April too👌 see you there Edd! 😁🏃

Great vid as always Ed, I'm a slow runner, though been loving using the Alphafly V1 for 5k, 10k & Half Marathon distances. Comfortable, cushioned, protecting & propelling shoe throughout.
Vaporfly V2 aswell in the past for 5k's as theyre super light, propulsive & come in nice colour schemes. Love your vids in general, soothing & relaxing, Thanks Edd 👍

Yes TS 10 for 5k for me too! Love that color way after seeing you wearing it (had to pu from End. London to get that color way) very fun shoe to work out in and owe that to you. Agree with MSP for 1/2 too-have done a PB in them. For marathon, will put AF there, looking at Ap4 (when out) and will see about MSP.

Zoom fly same fit as alphafly3 ?,
I’m usually a us 11 wish I up sized to the 11.5 in the af3 tight on the toes

Perhaps unpopular opinion here, but the Puma Fast Forward elite is a great 5k shoe for midfoot strikers. It looks odd, but i took a chance on it. Set my 5k pb in it. Its super light, the midsole has great cushion and the plate really gives that pop. I was shocked by it. i own the AF3, VF3, Cielo X1 and Im still giving it a 100% thumbs up for 5k.

Sorta looking forward to the Zoomx Streakfly 2 however I'm afraid the forefoot will bottom out again quickly. Imo it should have a air unit like Nike's top sprint track shoes.

I went with the Alpha Fly 3 for my HM shoe. I tested the Saucony Pro 4 and the Meta Speed Sky Paris before picking up the Alpha Fly and I'm glad I pulled the trigger on the Nike. I wanted the Sky Paris to be my HM shoe. I think it's a faster shoe and accelerates faster but my left foot didn't like the Meta Speed. So I ran the wet streets of Valencia in the Alpha Fly 3 and everything went great.

Best shoe for slow runners Ed 4,5 6 hours marathon. 😊😅

Can we get a video of the best shoes per brand per distance?

I've found the Hoka Rocket X2 to be just superb for Half Marathons. Responsive, comfortable and with a great race rocker. For Marathons I've always favoured the Adidas Adizero Pro 3, it's a shoe that needs some tinkering but once you get it right it hits the spot every time soI'm really looking forward to the Pro 4.

The availability of these shoes, or lack of it, is a real problem. I'm in the market for some new race shoes and none of the ones I'm after are in stock anywhere. I don't see the logic of the companies making such low numbers available.

Love your content Edd! Thanks!

hello 🦾

As a proud owner of Dodgy hamstrings and requiring some mild stability, I'm rocking the new Brooks hyperion GTS for 5 & 10s and my love affair with the Mizuno Wave Inspire 19s continues for Halves and Marathons. Great Channel Buddmeister 👍

What would you recommend for raceday shoe for someone with mild pronation?

My list would be
5K Nike Pegasus
10K Nike Pegasus
Half Marathon Nike Pegasus
Marathon Nike Pegasus
😂

Running Manchester too, 1st Marathon, run plenty half's, use my vaporfly 2s for half's but still haven't picked a shoe, thinking something more forgiving for big one, Saucony pro or adios pro, cant push myself to stretch to Alphafly's yet!!

Can I use pegasus 39 for daily trainer my weight is 106 kg

There is so much I like about the Mach x2 its just to tight across the top of the foot, I get pins and needles across the bottom of my feet. It’s still fast, comfortable and light, just not a great fit for myself

Love Link Wray's guitar playing with Robert Gordon but after Wray left Gordon was equally blessed with 2 virtuso unappreciated guitar players that were also great in their own right. Chris Spedding was Britain's most sought after guitar session player in the 70's. He was the Asics Superblast of guitar players meaning he was very vesatile. So much that he could mimic to a tee any guitar sound perfectly of all the great guitar heroes of the 70's. He even produced the Sex Pistols and The Pretenders. Chris Spedding was replaced by Danny Gatton, the " Humbler" He got that name because when he jammed with other great guitarist, no one could outplay him. He created a style of playing called redneck jazz where he fused country, blues, jazz and rockabilly.

I would like to support the channel on a more frequent basis. Wait a minute...

1,70cm - 59kg - for 5km road, what is the best for me?

good thing I was able to watch this first before I settled my mind buying the Vaporfly 3 since Alphafly 3 is currently Out of Stock.

Good stuff. Thanks Ed!

Dankeschön 🎉 for the info 😊 I always run up to 10 k in the Nova 3 😂 Sometimes Adizero SL 2 and Hoka Mach 6. Not really racers, but I run an easy pace, so they are fine 😊

What about my favorite distance the 10 miler for us peeps that are across the pond ?? :) No worries...I think we have enough information in this video to figure it out :)

Good shout for that Link Wray album - great tunes! Thanks Edd

I couldn't get on with the takumi sen, killed my arch .

I'm also doing manchester 25, and will probably wear my alphafly 3 in volt, like yours. I've also got saucony endorphin 4s, and Adidas adios pro 3, and hola circa X1, so I've got lots of options haha. I should probably stop watching your channel and buying shoes. BUT I won't!

Its crazy how many of us in this chat ate doing manchester 25. We will all be running together and wont have a clue who the others are. Either way, i wish you all the best experience, and times!
