adidas Adizero Adios Pro 3 Reviews

The Adios Pro 3 is the fastest super shoe they've owned, ahead of the Vaporfly 2 and 3 and Alphafly 2; its firm Lightstrike gives them the most energy return.

Finds the Adios Pro 3 quicker than the Takumi Sen: the extra stack, carbon rods and better rocker outweigh the small weight gain.

Loves the Takumi for speed work, but the Adios Pro 3 is faster for 5k and up, better at holding pace on tired legs late in a race.

Uses the Adios Pro 3 for any race of 5k or more because it is more propulsive and helps hold faster paces for longer; keeps the Takumi Sen for short intervals.

Usually runs 8:30-9:00 per mile, but their first run in the Adios Pro 3 was their fastest 5k ever at 8:17 pace without feeling gassed.

The Adios Pro 3 is their go-to race shoe and handles everything well; set a half-marathon PB in it and prefers it to the Vaporfly 3 on hills.

Smashed their 5k PR in the Adios Pro 3 six days after a marathon, then ran a 10k PR almost effortlessly a month later; calls it absolutely incredible.

Ran 10 miles in the Adios Pro 3 while training for a first half marathon: much bouncier than the Boston 12 and a little less stable, but it kept them moving at a fast pace and is very light.

Loves the effect of the Adios Pro 3 and feels faster in it than the Metaspeed Sky+, but the lacing and upper feel bad despite relacing and a runner's knot.

After 50 km on a half-marathon plan, the AP3 is the best shoe they've run in: huge stack and bounce that pushes you forward at pace, though a thin stiff upper gave an Achilles blister until they re-laced.

Ran a sub-18 5k PB in the AP3 and loves it, but it lacks the ankle support needed for aggressive turns.

The Adios Pro 3 is their go-to race shoe with a fairly wide forefoot; they set PRs in it in two half marathons.

Took the Adios Pro 3 on a 20-mile run and was blown away by the extra speed, averaging 7:48 per mile.

First run in the Adios Pro 3 felt super bouncy and rather unstable, a bit loose at the ankle with some rubbing, but very fast, settling into a nice groove after a few miles.

Ran a 10k PB on their first run in the Adios Pro 3, a totally different experience from the Vaporfly; the best shoe in their rotation.

First run in the Adios Pro 3 was a 10-mile marathon-pace session three weeks before a marathon; surprised by how easily it held goal pace and how fresh their legs felt, and it may replace the Alphafly 2 for the race.
