NIKE STREAKFLY 2 ARE FASTER... BUT HOW MUCH? - The FOD Runner

Intro: This is a quick summary of NIKE STREAKFLY 2 ARE FASTER… BUT HOW MUCH? from The FOD Runner. It’s a great watch — we’re breaking it down so you can try the workout today. Be sure to check out the full video for all the details.

Key Points:

• The runner compares two fast‑track shoes (Adios 9 and Nike Streakfly 2) using the same interval session.
• The workout consists of four sets of 600 m, 400 m, and 200 m repeats, each set followed by about a 1‑minute easy jog or walk.
• First two sets are run in the Adios 9, the last two in the Streakfly 2, allowing a direct side‑by‑side performance look.
• Heart‑rate, cadence and stride‑length are tracked; the lighter Streakfly 2 shows higher cadence and slightly longer strides, translating to faster paces.
• Practical tip: keep a quick‑recovery jog between reps and monitor heart‑rate during warm‑up to gauge fatigue.

Workout Example:

1. Warm‑up – easy jog + a few strides.
2. Set 1 (Adios 9): 600 m → 400 m → 200 m, then 1 min easy jog.
3. Set 2 (Adios 9): repeat the 600‑400‑200 pattern, 1 min recovery.
4. Shoe change – swap to Nike Streakfly 2.
5. Set 3 (Streakfly 2): 600 m → 400 m → 200 m, 1 min recovery.
6. Set 4 (Streakfly 2): same pattern, finish with a cool‑down jog. Pace reference from the video: the 600 m reps dropped from ~1:51 to ~1:45 min in the Streakfly 2, while 400 m and 200 m reps hovered around 0:44–0:45 min.

Closing Note: Give this fast‑repeat session a go and feel the difference between your shoes for yourself. You can easily adjust the paces in the Pacing app to match your own speed – happy running, and enjoy testing your gear!
