As someone who ran marathons this year in both AlphaFly V1 and V2. I suffered in the calves the last 5km in the V1 on a flat course at 3:30hr. In the fall in the V2 on a hilly course, in a post tropical storm, the legs felt fine at the end at about 3:23hr. But I also put in 500km extra mileage into the 2nd marathon block. if you have strong knee drive and stride length V1 everytime. As a higher cadence shuffling runner like me, V2 is a much more forgiving shoe. V3 seems like the best of both worlds...and approx 1.5oz per shoe (V2 vs V3) is a HUGE difference all things being equal. It's been nearly a year since my last test on a metabolic cart...might have to try the V2 vs V3 and also rebenchmark my fitness. Thanks for the content!

Sounds like the results were within the margin of error. Keep trying both and find which one you personally feel more comfy in. Its important to find what shoes you run better in when fautiged, as this test didn't run long enough for your form to break down. Seems they perform similar when you are fresh, but one may be better once your form has broken down.

I wasn’t fresh. I had a 10.5 mile workout Thursday. For a total of 20 miles for the day. Plus 6 miles before the test.

you should try a test with a new pair of gen 1 vs gen 2 vs gen 3 if possible. A newer shoe would yield better results since the foam degrades with use

Since this test was confusing i would just buy Alphafly 3 - they are coming out jan 4 . They are the lightest Alphafly 3 and since you like 1 more it will feel even better

Compared Saucony endorphin elite and next%3 in a similar test in UK. Expensive but fun. Comparison was 3x5min in each shoe at 4min, 3:40, 3:25 min/k (steady, ~marathon, ~HM paces). Tested Saucony 2nd and was more efficient (less oxygen required). Continued to VO2max in second test (finished first test after HM pace so quick recovery)
