I got the first one for being faster longer distance. I don’t really do 5ks so I’m hoping a long run would work. I did a test run and they were very comfortable. I’m coming from only running in Hokas 98% of the time and maybe Nike Wildhorse trail 2 % of the time.
Has anyone thought of sanding down the plate extension?? Would probably need to be careful to not crack the plate but I’d be super curious on how the shoe would feel without it given all the other changes.
Puma Fast R V1 very snappy. Love it for hill work. Uphill you get the bounce of the forefoot midsole and down hill the eva heel is super stable. Not good for long runs. Killing my sheen at anything longer than 10k.
I had the same shin problem with longer efforts in v1. I suspect it is due to the accelerated foot slap upon landing that would overwork my anterior tibialis (front shin) muscle. -Matt
Fast-R v1 ate up my arches every time I put them on. Massive blisters after just 2-3 miles. I opted for the Deviate Elite 2 as my race day show and have had 0 issues. I'm hesitant on getting the Fast-R v2
I use the fast r 1 for 5 and 10k.ive used the 2s for a marathon and they were amazing at Snowdonia marathon.
Excited for the Deviate Elite 3. Wander if Puma can topple Saucony?

That is a great idea…. I might try that
Are they suited to 5-10k races
Love me some Puma ❤
Is this new foam more like lightstrike pro? Since it's not peba

Just like a runner, I’m going to ignore everyone’s opinion and see for myself 😅

Did you race deviate nitro elite 2 on HM and FM?
@@Tommygimbal I did a HM
I see the back of the outsole still good so they must be durable 👍🏻
If it can handle Matt it can handle everything 😅
Tpu is what adidas boost are made of.
adidas is tpee
Definitely the uglies carbon plated running shoe on the market imo.
IMO, the best looking 😅 and most comfortable
