Thebest Nike running shoes, such as theNike ZoomX Vaporfly NEXT%, might have dominated long distances races in the last few years, but those times are gone. AsAdidas provedat the Boston Marathon just yesterday, other brands are just as capable of producing winningrunning shoes! Not to mention ASICS and its METASPEED, the carbon-enhanced shoes that won plenty of races recently, and I wore so much theycompromised my leg health.
Speaking of the METASPEED and ASICS: the brand has just announced the launch of the ASICS META : Time : Trials, which is said to be a “pinnacle event” that will combine “ground-breakingnew productand optimum race conditions to enable athletes to beat their Personal Best (PBs).” Yes, we’ll see the new METASPEED + this weekend!
There are some big names attached to the event: three-times OlympianEilish McColgan,Yeshi Kalayu,Boniface Kibiwott,Koen Naert, Vicoty Chepngeno, and Mohamed Katir will compete in World Athletics certified races of either five kilometres, 10 kilometres or a half marathon.
Needless to say, all elite athletes will wear the all-new METASPEED + shoes which will be revealed to the public for the first time at the event. Building on the METASPEED series introduced in 2021, the ASICS Institute of Sports Science (ISS) has utilised data “accumulated through elite athletes in competitions to refine the product design and make runners even faster.”
The races will start at 6.45 am BST and will be available to follow via ASICS live stream on theASICS Hub, and YouTube channel as of 6.30 am BST. Keep your eyes peeled, people!
