Hey Seth, you gave me kudos on my run today and it made my day
Be your own hero
A good life! The older I get and being in my mid 60s now I realize how important it is to be healthy and being able to enjoy an active lifestyle.
Malaysian here. It is hot and humid here, and the streets here are not as wide and accommodative of joggers/runners like in the States. However there are places which are great known by the running communities. Personally, I'd like to run at night within the confines of my residential area, away from traffic and wild animals.
My wise high school English teacher Mr. Scott Wells said the secret to a good life are:
1. 1/3 of your life is spent sleeping. Buy the best bed you can afford.
2. 1/3 of your life is spend with someone. Marry your best friend.
3. 1/3 of your life is spent working. Make your hobby your job.
Good morning, DGR!
QoD: A good life is like a good race. You left it all on the course and have no regrets!
The Skechers Razor 3 is a great shoe in this category, in fact probably the best 5k to 10k shoe I ever ran in.
I just had a rush of nostalgia. My first running shoes were the NB Pace 2s. I loved those darn things. I know this is a completely different shoe but made me smile.
The original RC Elite should have been their 5-10k shoe. I still have it and it feels awesome during workouts. This is a case of, well we have to do something different, but they shouldn't have.
The RC Elite ! What a shoe !
I have a pair and love them. Best grip ever bring it back!
Agree 100% about RC Elite V1! It's been my go to 5k-10k plated racer. I use the Rebel V2 for 5k-10k as my non-plated racer. I have the Takumi Sen 8 arriving this week. Tried the Nike Streakfly. I can see how it would work for some folks. It just wasn't for me and I returned it. If you are a Nike fan, I still think the Next % 2 remains the Nike go to shoe for 5k-10k.
FACTS! RC Elite v1 is just the best! It isn't the fastest and sexiest carbon racer out there. But the combination of the mild, yet noticeable rocker and that just-right amount of silky soft Fuelcell is amazing for workouts at all sorts of paces. Nearly 600km in, and they never disappoint. If there's just one flaw about them though, it'd be the overly prominent lateral flare and slightly instability. But I'm a supinator so they don't cause any pain. Would 100% buy them again if I could find them now.
@@timsmith7816 I bet you’ll love the Takumi Sen 8. It’s awesome-I used it on BolderBoulder 10K, PR’s on its challenging, hilly course and the shoes disappeared on my feet in the best way possible--nimble, bouncy, stable (lots of turns)-really fun. Even got 2nd in my AG!
The takumi Sen is much better in durability, shock absortion and responsive
One of the best shoes Adidas has made in a long time. Definitely underrated, because like Seth in this video, most people are gravitating towards max stack these days. The Takumi Sen is being skipped over for being a low stack carbon racer. Which is funny because it has a taller stack than the original Vaporfly 4% (33mm/27mm vs 31mm/21mm). I've heard people say they'd be scared to use the Takumi Sen for anything longer than a 5K. What have we become?
@@defaultusername4410 Yeah it's kind of crazy how skewed things have become the last couple years. Tons of people picked up running as a hobby during covid lockdowns, and all they've ever known is this crazy new world of max stack super squish trainers. I'm not a barefoot born-to-run type of person, that's too far in the other extreme, but the fact people look at shoes like this New Balance or the Takumi Sen and think that you can ONLY do short runs in them is crazy.
@@nickatnite16 Yep totally. I still wear my Streaks fairly regularly. Very much agree about the influence of marketing and all these review channels on the way people think. I've seen people who just started running and they already have a rotation bigger than mine, including pro tier carbon racers, and they don't even race haha. Not trying to be a gatekeeper, they can buy what they want, but yeah the marketing is effective.
Totally agree on the Takumi Sen 8. It’s a fabulous shoe and for a light person like myself could go to HM or possibly even full marathon distance.
@@defaultusername4410 i ran a marathon 10 years ago in saucony type A2 less than 22 mm with 180 pounds with any problems or injuries!
The good life is awareness
I too from Malaysia!! The feeling of running here is humid and humid!! Been watching your lovely channel for quite awhile.. Cheers
I use the Asics Metaracer for short fast sessions and
The Takumi Sen 8 is awesome. I ran a hilly 10K (BolderBoulder) last month without having even tested it outside and the shoes disappeared on my feet-nimble, stable (lots of turns in that course), everything you want in a race shoe. For a lightweight person like me I think it could go to at least HM distance. And it doesn’t require super fast paces only. Martha
Have you run in this shoe at 10k pace or faster Seth? It's a very aggressive shoe realistically designed for sub 3 min Ks. Don't know if your opinion would improve but I don't think you can really base your opinion on shoe designed for 5k/ 10k pace if you haven't run that fast. Dragonfly's also feel terrible running slowly but there fairly agressive and designed for 5k/10k pace.I know they're spikes but it's the same comparison.
Yeah I don’t get this review. This a racer but sounds like he hasn’t run fast in them?
Seth doing a tempo effort is easily faster than most people's 10k pace and manys 5k pace
Been waiting for this one. Want to get my hands on a pair of these after New Balance discontinued the 1400. I loved the 1400 😟😥😢.
You do have to take these reviews with a grain of salt. Because what works for one person may not work for another. And vice-versa comfort is a personal preference. So since this shoe doesn't work for Seth doesn't mean it won't work for you!!
Shoe reviews are on full force!
Uses 5k-10k racing shoe for slow easy runs ... "these shoes just don't work for me" no shot lol
You think he just test it on easy run only? You just saw one run lol
@@jjchang9874 He literally said he didn’t get a chance to race in the shoe, which is exactly its advertised use case. 🤦♂️
@@cmo3 some racer shoe also used as speed day shoe right? Maybe seth tested it through repeats and tempo and don't work for him 🤔
A great shoe is discovered within the first mile. It is make or break. If it ain't working it ain't working. Saucony endorphin speed 2 and pro2. From the first step I knew they were right for me. And I haven't wavered a bit from that first impression. If you don't like them you don't like them. Why sugar coat it when there are plenty of better options that hit the mark on the first run.
A good life? Using the talents you are given to give your life purpose. Striving everyday to be a better version of yourself. Having balance and loving people to share your life with.
you got it, Sharon
@@paulhammerton4385 Thank you Paul
Hey Seth, remember the older Adizero Adios you liked very much? It had 13mm in the forefoot and you wished sth like 3mm more. Now 20mm are not enough. And I can really understand that. Crazy how the shoes changed and now people are used to super foams and high stacks, me too. However I think that those lower stacked shoes have still their place in many runners shelves.
"SOME CRACKING🌟"... Could you further investigate this?
Believe in the Run experienced the same cracking when flexing it in their review video. Maybe bend the one that is cracked several more times then set it next to the fresher one and see if they still the same curvature(how high the toe is off the ground). Then flex each to see if the cracked one is still as stiff as the other. I had my hopes up for this shoe, but if its a defective design will go with a diff shoe and hold out for the next version. Please advise.
It was meant to replace the NB 1400, one of my all-time favourite shoes (I like ground feel). I would fix it by getting rid of that plate and keeping the foam... and call it NB 1400 v7
My favorite was the v3 and the lightness of them, and yet there felt like there was still good energy return. I was not happy when they increased the weight in the later versions.
In the same boat, I've been running in the 1400's since V1, currently on my last pair of V6 as I can't find them anywhere.....
@@IseanIgreenerI A number of years ago I was able to find some v3s but then after that, nothing.
Surprised to see this get covered before the Streakfly after the Takumi Sen 8 didn't work out for you. Any chance we see that one soon?
Nike didn't send it to him. Still waiting 😅
Seth reviews whatever he gets sent. He doesn't buy his own gear anymore.
5280 was 24-18 stack-wise and 170g in a US9 and that was 3 years ago. At least you knew that it wasn’t going to last a long while. It’s like they’ve gone backwards
I think because this is NB's "race shoe line...the SC" is the reason they made this shoe with a low stack height of 28mm. Nearing the heigh of a "flat". And with the soft FC fforam I 'm guessing you get more "road feel"? Which for some is preferred (I prefer it vs a "numb" feeling from a high stack shoe). To each his/her own.
Maybe compre the NB SC shoes to the Asics metaracer....both are "flats" for running. The Metaracer design is original. Shoe is overlooked. For people who like to go "gold school" and run with a shoe that is "like a flat"....
Good morning DGR
A life spent doing what we love, surrounded by people who inspire our best, while being of service to others and getting payed enough to do it that we can continue to explore, learn and grow. What more could we ask for?
This shoe reminds me of the New Balance 1400 racing flat from about 10 years ago
The 1400 was only discontinued within the last year or so. I still have two 1400s.
@@lexington476 I’m talking about the original v1’s. I never liked the updates and stopped using them in 2013
@@kylerhitt5607 yeah, i got two of the last verson. Since they only get used in like 5K, 10K, and Triathlon Races, they don't have a lot of wear on them and should last me a few more seasons.
I feel like a half or 3/4 plate like the skechers shoes would make this better. Efficient turnover without being overly stiff for the stack height.
The HOKA Mach5 is now my favorite shoe. All around great shoe, very comfortable. You need to try it. Trust me you’ll love it. I’d give it a score of 9/10. The lockdown is okish but other than that it’s a great shoe.
QD: a good life is one filled with good problems to solve. Solving those problems provides us with satisfaction of that process and growth.
a good life is one that is satisfying and fulfilling! And that can look wildly different for every human.
When are you reviewing the Nike Pegasus 39
3:53 - yeah, I think I'm having the same issue, getting older (than I think I am even, SCARY) and now that I've been running for a couple of years in some of the Super Shoes, I've been spoiled and my legs have NOTICED it!
Happy Monday DDDDDGGGGGRRRRRR!
QOD: moving in the unforced rhythm of Grace. 🏄🏻♂️ being grateful for all the things/people in my life and doing good/loving/serving those in front of me according to His will
How about the Skechers Razor Excess 2 as an alternative? Higher stack, bouncy foam, light, and a plate.
Thanks for the review Seth. I've been looking forward to this review and I have to say I'm somewhat disappointed in what you've discovered. I know I need to take your findings with a grain of salt because we all experience something slightly different so who knows, maybe I will find these to be a good shoe for me. Here's to hoping.
Love new balance shoes particularly the fuel cell tc ,they just scream at you to go faster,just purchased pair of these pacer shoes for upcoming hybrid racing namely hyrox,figure the stack height would suit the stations and they'd be just about cushioned,fast enough on the runs
How did this shoe do for hyrox? I'm interested.. but I heard durability is poor and I worry about it adding extra damage to the legs, considering it ends with so many lunges and wall balls. Thanks.
@Johnny-Gunn hi,personally found they didn't 'help me enough " towards end of race,ie needed bit more bounce,better suited to a stronger person maybe but having tried Adidas sen 8 after these which was better all round
I'll keep the pacers for dekastrong ..2024 the new pacer is out and that looks better shoe,I've also done sims in the high stack new balance v3 elite which I've found nimble,fast on runs,ok on lunges but grip soon starts to wear so sled could be tricky especially pro weights
Good evening! Seth
QD: happiness and someone to share it with. Truly the secret of life. Most importantly, it has nothing to do with money but rather memories.
I would be interested to hear your comments on the New Balance Tempo v2
Well that was awkward. Basically telling us you thought the shoe was terrible without actually coming out and saying that. NB has been on quite a roll lately (and I am a fan of their shoes) so it is ok if they take a swing and miss once in awhile. It happens.
The life of a youtuber who wants to keep receiving free stuff.
Recommendation for shoe for Achilles tendinitis, peraneal tendinitis, haglunds deformity? I’m 6’1 225#.
Was a brooks adrenaline guy for 8-9 years. Last 2 switched to saucony but found recently hurting more and more….
Help from Florida!
Are these the better version of the 1400?
Having your health.
Yes ❤️
I would be surprised if this shoe holds up 200 miles tbh. For the 5-10K Takumi sen remains unchallanged.
Maybe the Streakfly works for some people as an alternative. I have tried both and prefer the Takumi. First 5K race in the 8 I took a minute off my PR.
I’m adding my voice to the chorus praising the Takumi. It’s a fantastic shoe IMO.
Sunglasses indoors is a look I can’t pull off.
7:23 wow, now you have me doubting getting one of these. What other conventional racing flats do you like? I am not into super shoes.
Nike streakflys.
@@nickatnite16 it's more than just an opinion. It is his experience speaking. Sort of the purpose of the review. Hence the reason we are all watching it.
@@therangersinger I probably will get a set, I've been a huge fan boy of New Balance for 10+ years now. The only pair of bad New Balance shoes I ever got I think was the 880 v10 which was like really really soft in the sole, it was like running in mud.
@@lexington476 I have the version 11, they are ok. But they don't rack up many miles. My Saucony endorphin speed 2 are my go to shoe. I have just about murdered those over the last 3 months. Pegasus 38s for when my legs are tired, Hoka Clifton 8 for really easy days less than 4 miles, Saucony endorphin pro2 for half marathons and the Streakflys for the 5k races. I had to stop using the carbon plated endorphin pro2 for the short races. They are fast shoes with a lot of energy return but damn I found it so awkward to take turns, maintain a proper foot strike up hills, and a challenge to reach a full sprint in that last kick. So I figured I would look for a modern racing flat and found 8 billion videos hyping up the Streakflys and figured hell why not. I'm Soo happy I did. In the last 2 months I have killed my P.R.s using those shoes. Sure I put in a lot of hard work to get faster but I am going to give credit to the shoes. They just fit my running style for the fast races so perfectly. And they are pretty sweet in a rubberized track as well. They lock down to my foot perfectly. If you get them I hope they workout for you. I wear a size 12 in all brands and the Streakflys are no different. I also have a very high arch and a medium wide foot. I only weight 160 pounds so in a lightweight. They are just a perfect show for me.
So As New Balance Durability I wont buy it as long as any Nike product for fast running.
It looks like the NB Prizm.
SC Pacer vs Fresh Foam X Tempo v2 :P
Most shoereviewer had a bad review about this shoe lol anyone here tried the 361' speed feisu 2 I think those are better than this
Just say the word oooo..... shoe shoe shoediooo
These shoes deserved less puntuation, the durability is much lower than you think ! The outsole is weak and the upper terrible
QD: A life lived in service to God and neighbor, not that I can obtain it all the time but I can definitely try.
A good life is putting God first, your family second and yourself third. If you can do that with joy in your heart everyday, life is good!!
1:12 sometimes I wonder if you’re alright in the head 🤦🏼♂️
150uh no
Emily Sisson just made this review look so bad lol
Everything is too heavy. 😉
Seth, what a great question. For me this is simple. Life is less about what you can get and more about what you can give to others. After a day reflecting about my family on father's days and experiencing the joy of family, it makes me more determined to raise my kids to understand the joy of giving to others. This is what life is all about. keep doing your thing, Seth...loving it. #DGRStrong
a good life is creating and fostering loving relationships
. Simply being present in the moment i
