Those magnificent mango ones? Mate I have had those in the cart to purchase many many times the last few weeks... Just can't pull the trigger on spending that coin hahaI'm really enjoying my Nike Tempo Next% and Zoom Fly 3 for the real solid hit outs and TTs.
Workouts/sessions I'll use my Pegs and NB Tempos.
Have quite a few Mizuno (Wave Riders) and NB varieties for every day running and my absolute go to shoes for longer runs or even mid-longs when I just need the legs to feel good and need the love are Brooks Ghosts or NB 1080s.
The Next% are amazing though, absolutely love them. They do have a bit more slap about them on your footfall but they give back so much.
Worth every penny.Those magnificent mango ones? Mate I have had those in the cart to purchase many many times the last few weeks... Just can't pull the trigger on spending that coin haha
Worth every penny.
I'm just not sure I can justify the cost with my level of ability!!
Update... Just got some of the Tempo Next% from Rebel.. $200I'm just not sure I can justify the cost with my level of ability!!
They look magnificent though.. So do the green ones, I was after some of them but can't find them anywhere and can only find boring black online at the moment
Hi all, since I've seen plenty of shoe chat here seeking thoughts... currently looking for your cushioned but quick if need all round everyday shoe. I currently have Nike Infinity Reacts, NB 1080s and Adidas Boston 9s in my rotation.. I did have have Nike Pegs 36 as my all round workhorse but they are cooked now so looking for something to replace it, the infinitys and 1080s I use as my long easy run options, the Boston's I've only just gotten but they feel more like my quicker pace/10k road race shoe options.. They are fantastic though so far so they could end up being the way to go.. My first Adidas shoes but I am super happy and impressed with them
I am planning on the Geelong Half as well, 2 years ago it was my 2nd ever Half Marathon and i was absolutely stoked to break 2 hours.. Now i really think i should be tipping under 1hr 40 which would be fantastic, how bloody satisfying is it when you can look back and see improvement like that.I wore the Tempo Next % for parkrun today.... Had a knee clean up March last year (Like just as Covid shut everything down here in Vic)....
After working back slowly through S&C and building the distances I've been in full swing for a few months now.
5km pb was 18:30 pre-18 months of injury and frustration. Post op and following a regular S&C routine I'm moving better than ever. Equalled 18:30 then went better with an 18:25 wearing the zoom flys. Now in the past 4-5 weeks I've done an 18:12 and today a 17:49 (both wearing the next%).
Now I'm not saying the next% account for that jump alone, as I've worked my effing ass off lol, but **** me they do feel so good.

The goal when working back was just to run pain free. Worked through jog/walk to short jogs... from 3 days a week to 4 then 5...6. Gradually built the distances. Now basically settled in to a routine between 60-75km week. Looking at around 300km months.
Typical week looks like--> RG run - rest - workout/sesh - easy - easy or rest - parkrun plus a bit - a bit longer or some trails.
Focussed mainly on 5km/10km goals and have pb'd the 5km as above and also brought the 10km down from 39:33 -> 38:53 -> 38:32.
Really happy with those results when at one stage I was just happy to be moving again without pain and restriction. Even if the surgery and physio was successful getting me going, I wasn't expecting to hit new PBs, and especially so soon.
So the next goal was to be the Geelong HM in April and while I'll still do that, I've also entered the Sandy Point HM in a month or so. The goal here has always been sub 90 but I'm feeling like I can aim for a bit better than that. Perhaps 1hr 25. The HM best is 1:31:08 back in 2017 and I was in shape to beat that in 2018 but basically raced all the distances but the HM. I entered Geelong HM 2019 with that goal but that's when injury hit.
So here we are, 2 years later with Sandy Point and Geelong over the next 12 weeks and hoping to not only pb and go sub 90, but hopefully go under by a bit of a margin.
Ohhhh.... yeah I started talking about the Next% .... I plan on wearing them too lol. Also got some funky looking aqua Zoom Fly 3s on the way I can't wait to get.

Sunset run cancelled 24 hours before the race.. Thanks CovidI am planning on the Geelong Half as well, 2 years ago it was my 2nd ever Half Marathon and i was absolutely stoked to break 2 hours.. Now i really think i should be tipping under 1hr 40 which would be fantastic, how bloody satisfying is it when you can look back and see improvement like that.
I have a 10k run for the Bellarine Sunset Run in just under 3 weeks and am chomping at the bit for it... all the best times i have done were last year and "unofficial" but they give me confidence that I can better them with more time and fitness on hand, and also just being part of the natural momentum and high you get from an actual event
should be good, as long as there is no stinking gale wind or heat like last year!
I'm just not sure I can justify the cost with my level of ability!!
They look magnificent though.. So do the green ones, I was after some of them but can't find them anywhere and can only find boring black online at the moment

This could be a dumb question... but what do you actually use the spikey ball for.. I have one, but i don't know what i am doing with it so it just sits there doing sweet fa.. the foam roller though i do give a good going over
Use it on trigger points, such as muscles around the hip/calves etc. I use it to roll out my foot arches most mornings
