Hi, has anybody got experience of running in both the Vaporfly and the Alphafly, and able to share their comparison?

Thanks.

There's a vaporfly thread so you're probably best posting there but I don't think anyone has moved to the alpha as the few that tried it didn't really like it and that seems to be borne out at elite level

Agree with SPR there, although I think thewelshrunner recently posted that he will be using Alphafly for Wrexham marathon (or wherever it is now) shortly - he posts a weekly vlog on his Youtube channel:

Pretty sure he'd give you his thoughts if you drop him a comment (suspect he has been asked a few times!)

I've run in the Vaporflys since the originals to the Next%, and have a pair of Alphas that have been sat in their box since everything was cancelled last year. However, Nike kindly sent me a pair of the Tempo Next%, which with the air pods are obviously much closer to the Alphas, and have to say I really like them. The fit is nicely snug, better than the Next%, and they really "pop", in terms of bounce, but also acoustically! I turned my long run this week into a marathon and ran 2.50 without really trying, no taper, no hydration, no plan.

Got something to say?
