Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

The fact they're even considering it shows the issue IMO.

I was amazed last year at London to see people running in the Next% when they had bought them literally the day before. Mind you, I think the difference from the 4% to the Nexts is smaller than with the Alpha's, at least visually.

waiting for feedback from others Lee, on these and the new Adidas ones too. The reviews I’ve heard on the Hoka haven’t been amazing so perhaps Nike have the overall formula just right?

You in?

WW - Not sure?

I love Brooks and do most of my training in their shoes (Ghost and Launch).

I also have a pair of T7 Racers that were awesome for 10k races. Gutted you can’t get them anymore!

Brooks have always been my brand!

However I love my Nike 4%’s and see no reason, as with my training shoes mentioned above to change? If I could I would buy another pair rather than the new Alphafly NEXT%, but Nike don’t sell them anymore!

How’s the Achilles now mate?

Thanks JDA!

Need to justify to myself paying £167, when the other pair only have 56 miles on them! 😄
