Why tf some people still believe the Vaporfly makes athletes run even 1 second faster?? Do you know what economy is dummy? Kipchoge ran a tactical 2:03:05 without Vapoflys in London before, a chubby Bekele (hold on a sec chubby bekele; fu** off di**head haha you’re a fool) produced a 2:03:03 in Berlin also without any marketing stunt on his feet, Keitany's second half in NYC last year was ran in some old adidas shoes etc. (She’s a mega talent) Probably the creators of such threads are a) either hired by nike to keep people stupid or b) brainless idiots who don't follow the sport enough.
Right matey good imagination! Haha fool
The shoe is literally called the Next% to symbolise an improvement on the 4%.
That percentage in an improvement on running economy. Running economy has said to be a better performance indicator than Vo2max especially over a marathon.
Let me not have to explain why running economy is so important; look it up drongo or use your mind. Race pace>Oxygen>less time for race. (Quicker times for a given effort). BTW dic*hea* Bekele is the GOAT and has much more talent then Kipchoge but has struggled with injury. So saying that he ran 2.03 without Vaporflys does nothing; imagine what he’d have run with them! The 2.03 Kipchoge ran wasn’t tactical, if so you could say Bekele’s 2.03 with Kipsang was ‘tactical’. I’m not saying Kipchoge isn’t a HUGE TALENT HE IS AND SO IS BEKELE. However, now others are running quicker as well with the Vaporflys.
Bekele, Kipchoge and Kipsang are mega talents capable of running 2.03’s without the shoes. To see others running times like these regularly with the shoes and no one else near without is crazy. #stoplettingnikepaytheirwayout!
