Hoka Cielo X-1 Workout Test vs Nike Vaporfly: 9 Miles at Threshold Pace

The Hoka Cielo X-1 is the newest marathon racer to hit the market, while the Nike Vaporfly has been around in some iteration since 2017. Both of the shoes have carbon plates and 40mm stacks of PEBA foam, but their different geometries and foam densities made me curious how they'd compare in a workout test. I used both for a threshold workout, and here's how the newcomer compares to the incumbent. 0:00 - Intro 0:26 - Pre-Run Prep 3:13 - Plan for the Run 4:13 - Post-Run Thoughts: Hoka Cielo X-1 5:49 - Post-Run Thoughts: Nike Vaporfly 3 7:51 - Post-Run Thoughts: Nike Vaporfly 3 9:26 - Shoe Performance Analysis 11:10 - Shoe Effects on Cadence 12:23 - Weight Effects on Performance 12:52 - Stability Find your next running shoe at Supwell.io: 1.
