Tried out the new tempo zoom next whateverâs at the parkrun this morning.
They felt a bit slappy when I was running slow and didnât feel as lively or bouncy as the Alphaflyâs or next%âs. Or as smooth as the flyknitâs.
But⌠thatâs not to make them sound bad, they were comfortable and I donât think Iâm really in 19:31 shape, especially as although it felt hard it wasnât flat out pace. So they do offer a decent benefit I think.
Having said that it was good conditions, about 16c and only a bit of a breeze but in a good direction for that course.
For ÂŁ85 though theyâre excellent for B type races or hard sessions when you donât want to use your best shoes

Personally, I never really liked them from the moment I got them. But I now hate them as theyâre the shoe that seemingly triggered my achilles tendinopathy. Anyone who wants a lightly used pair of size 8âs, youâre free to have them if you cover the postage as I wonât be using them again!
Canât say Iâm a massive fan of the full Alphas either to be honest. Iâm not sure I particularly like the air pod design and the way it feels. But theyâre better than the Tempos. The more standard vaporfly shoes were just more comfy/fluid.

My alphas are relegated to the easy long runs so there is no chance of feeling beat up afterwards
On the tempo next %, once I was over the slapping sound of the shoe (which I think is better after 30 miles or so), I like it, itâs fast without feeling fast. Progressed up to 2 hours in them by, but after Thursdays long run, some Doms in my calf that Iâve not had before, and previously, the same in the hamstrings !
On the Alphafly, I just picked up a second pair at ÂŁ133 from Keller. They are mustard, however lethal for my ankle bones as Iâve a habit of occasionally slicing it with the follow through of the foot - ouch

Now that youâve both mentioned it my right calf felt a bit tight afterwards, but I just put it down to general tightness and the fact I didnât do enough stretching afterwards. Iâll keep an eye on it.
I do the same! I have scars on my right ankle

Tried a longer run in the tempo zoom next% tonight and I think I can see what stenard means, the right one was definitely rubbing at my achilles and seemed to be pressing on it, it had the start of a blister when I finished, only did 10K.
They are definitely not a shoe for endurance training or steady runs, they are slappy and I also kicked my ankles a few times, but TBF I do occasionally do that with other trainers.
I did 2K tempo and they are a completely different shoe. I also thought that an easy pace my HR\RPE felt easier for the pace I was doing.
I think they are likely to be going back, donât want to risk aggravating the ankle or calf which is a shame as for the price I paid they are a good interval training or parkrun type shoe.

I put another 6 miles on the Tempos this morning doing an interval run.
Definitely getting quieter but still noticeably louder than my alphaflys.
Putting a padded plaster on my left ankle bone each time and one on the Achilles area on the left one.
Definitely an interval shoe for an hour session or less - I think I might have to go at the back of these shoes with a hammer to soften them up. They are so fast though
