- I recently ran my best 5k of 2024 in the ASICS Metaspeed Edge Paris. Watch the video to see how I thought the shoe performed and how the 2nd annual Hauppauge Fire Department 5k went.

G'day mate, 100% agree with you on the Metaspeed Paris! I have ran 2 half marathons in mine and for me that is their limit. I much prefer something like a Nike Alphafly or Vapourfly for a marathon.
I'm with you. 13.1 would be the limit for me with the Paris. I want a bit more softness and bounce for 26.2.
Great video as always, appreciate the info.
I agree with all your thoughts on the shoes you mentioned. I now have about 40 miles in the Metaspeed Sky Paris. Love them, super fast. I would race them 5k, 10k and probably a half. Nothing higher. I also have about 25 miles in the Superblast 2. They took a few runs, but now are broken in and excellent for slow or steady pace. I wouldn’t choose them for speed work or races, but they can soak up miles in marathons block training.
My next race is a half marathon 11/3. I’ll be wearing a new pair of Adidas Pro 3. Love the light strike pro!
Good luck in Chicago and glad you’re going with a shoe you have confidence to wear. You’ll crush it! 🙌
I’m 100% with you on the Paris. If I was going for a PB in the half marathon, I’d use them for that. But wouldn’t take them longer. I have 105 miles in the Superblast 2 now. I’ve used them for a lot of long runs in this training block. I share your thoughts on that shoe as well. It’s a long run champion but I wouldn’t use them for racing.
You hear everywhere people saying “nothing new on race day.” I’ve tested out my gear for the race on long runs, know what gels I’m using, etc. I think it makes the most sense to go with the tried and true AP3. I have questions about taking the ASICS, Puma or Saucony 26.2. So I figure, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
I know that Lightstike Pro softens up a bit with some break in. I put 29 miles into my new pair of AP3s in some marathon paced long runs. Now they will sit on the shelf, waiting for race day. My fitness is feeling on point right now. I’m hoping that it all comes together this time. Good luck in your race!
I feel my fitness is on point as well, looking for a PR in Nov. My A race is Mountain to Beaches in April. It’s a net downhill race many people use to BQ.
I saw BITR video on Adidas Pro 4. Sounds like it’ll have a lot of changes. I will consider picking up 1 or 2 pairs of the Pro 3 if I can find a discount, big changes don’t always lead to a better shoe.
Last, don’t feel bad about your stalk and pounce race strategy. We’ve all done it and had it done to us. It’s racing, rules are there are no rules. 😆
@@Kevin-fz7yt I need to find one of those net downhill marathons near me. Haha. I got lucky with the AP3. When I was considering getting a new pair they had one in my size for 50% off. $125 for a new AP3 is a steal. Hopefully they'll have more sales on the 3 when the 4 comes out.
That's the first I've heard that called "stalk and pounce." I like that. I'll try to get my jungle cat on this weekend in another 5k as well.
😂
Love the shout out ! great race! Can’t wait for next year
Thanks. My money is on you to win it all next year! No pressure. Haha
I have the sky paris and I dont feel energy return like I do in the alphfly v1. I will take the sky paris for my first 21k and hopefuly give it a real test
Let me know how the shoe performs for you over that distance. I'm going to run another 5k race in them this Sunday.
Great job, Sean. Don't count out us 60 year olds. LOL
Nothing but respect. It was more of can my self esteem take it if this guy dusts me. Haha
@@runwithsean Copy that
Come run my club race in nhp next yr in Sept. 8k.
Adios pro3 will probably be my choice for NYCM this yr again
Send me the info on the race and I’ll check it out. Good luck in NYC!
What the best in 5km race?
From the current shoes on the market, I think that this shoe (the ASICS Metaspeed Edge Paris) is the best race shoe for a 5k. I used to lean towards the Vaporfly 2 or ADIDAS Takumi Sen 8. But this shoe is lighter than both of those and even more explosive.
It’s on the narrow side and has a tight fitting upper. But as long as someone doesn’t have a wide foot and doesn’t suffer from a lot of over pronation, this shoe is the best one I’ve tried.
@@runwithseanhow about Rocket X2 for 5k race? Or does it not compared to the Asics meta speed. Thanks!!!
Do you do your videos in the mirror? All the writing is back to front! Very off putting. Need to fix that asap! Otherwise best of luck with channel!
