The Nike Alphafly 3 is one of Nike's two marathon racing shoes. Priced at $285, it features a full-length bed of ZoomX foam and a carbon fiber plate—as well as Nike's patented air units under the forefoot. When I reviewed the shoe in January, I enjoyed some elements of the ride for faster running but felt that it didn't 100% click for me. In this video, I revisit the Alphafly 3 for my first long run and see if some time resting changes my perception of the shoe, especially now that I'm in a different phase of training. 0:00 - Intro 1:21 - Morning Run Preparation 13:31 - Overview of Alphafly 3 15:43 - Comparing Race Shoes for Long Runs 21:48 - Long Run Gear & Fuel 25:55 - Lacing Up the Alphafly 3 27:55 - 22 Mile Long Run 29:02 - Post-Run Thoughts 32:54 - Alpahfly 3 Performance Analysis 42:23 - Lunch 45:14 - Breaking Down My Splits 54:53 - Afternoon Snack 55:26 - Dinner 55:36 - Plan for this Week Find your next running shoe at Supwell.io: 1.
