I needed a fast and firm and bouncy forefoot strike friendly race day shoe! and after having seen A LOT of hype about the fast-r 3, I decided to test it out at my local store today (and now I’ll be eating only rice and potatoes for a while)
because dare I say, it was more than I expected:
- bouncy and quiet like the alphafly 2 (I really cannot stand the sound of the 3)
- snug fit for my narrow feet, but with wiggle room for the toes
- extremely forefoot friendly (if you heel strike, even if just at the end of a marathon when you get tired: STAY AWAY)
+ it came with extra laces!
it will be my shoe for my sub 3 attempt in Berlin, and I’ll get to test it out in 1-2 10k races and a half marathon before that!
I have been loving the On cloudboom strike, but sadly it’s very prone to getting small stones and pebbles stuck in it, which is a big problem here in the
