thank you!
Is this the heats?
@@Terrydon no its the final
What are this times! I have seen high school boys run faster than this 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ong
@@afrobuddy4801 its not a very fast track to run on very bad and also the temperature was 18 degree celcius. im not making excuses but the conditions werent favorable. but i agree with ya there not good times they wont make it out of the rounds at paris if they run this
why run any faster ? just gotta do the bare minimum
@@relyt4799 haha yes all that matters is you qualify for olympics!
@@relyt4799 still it shows the lack of quality and depth of Canadian sprinting that this is all it takes to qualify for the team.
Has anybody else noticed any cracks on the bottom of the spike across the spike plate? There amazing spikes but I have been through 2 already
@@user-ec2nb9pn4o your correct ive seen people crack the bottom its honestly the way you run if you use alot of force it will break right away.
Hey Francis, thanks a lot for the video ! I am hesitating betwen buying the Puma Tokyo Brush 4, and the Puma evoSPEED Tokyo Future FASTER+ 2 as they are around the same price. I am focusing on my starts and mainly do 30m - 100m. What are your thoughts on this ? All the best !
Hello thanks for your support. I think it depends if you want a stiff plate that would be the tokyo brush 4 but the future faster 2 is way more stiffer it might be too stiff for you. If you could try them on it would be recommened. I think for me the future faster 2 would be better as i have the tokyo brush 4 and the plate is shaped weirdly and can be uncomfortable
good job man! Are you gonna run the 200m?
@@conw0128 hello and thank you was a tough few weeks im happy to be there. I wont be running the 200m as i dont think im in any form to run it but i will be running 100m next couple weeks to get my season started
For crouched start is it still 2 and 3 steps back from line?
it is usually 2 i use 2
@@francis6249 so 2 steps for front foot away from line and also 2 for back foot from line?
@@legionaryeq 2 steps for front leg and 3 steps for back leg is most standard spacing i beleive and when you at blocks keep it at the lowest level of height.
good luck at nationals!
thank you!
I'm still on the Ja Fly 4. Training times have consistently been faster in them than any of the others. And I agree with you on Adidas. They are just way too stiff to me. I have the SP1s and they feel stiffer than the MaxFly.
thats great you like the ja fly 4 and yes adidas prime sp 1 the plate is so weridly shaped everytime i wear them my feet hurt. Right now im liking the maxfly 2s there amazing
Where did you get them so early?
They are on the Nike website
For usa because I check and there not there
Unless you live in another country
how you'd even get those lol
nike has an early release for canada 2 weeks ago
nice
Hey bro You should try out the Tokyo nitro and see which one is better
i wont be trying out the other brands there not worth it and im only gonna run with nike spikes from now on running with different pairs is no good you need to leaern to run with each spike
@@francis6249 lol Well it's your choice then!
@@Ohelloabhi its ok i have way too many spikes and i havent been liking adidas much and although i hear the pumas are very good there over 400 in a store in my city sells them for
@@Ohelloabhi what spikes are you currently on?
@@francis6249 I have Superfly Elite 2, puma evospeed sprint 10(beginner spike) and a fake Superfly Elite 2s
Has it broken down yet? Or are you still using it…
it hasnt broken down i rarely use them
Keep it up bro 👊🏽
thank you!
I just got a deadstock pair from eBay that were authenticated and they pass all your criteria but the inside tag by the insole- the size, one says 11.5 and one says 10. Do your tags match or do they differ?
my tags the code matched and the size was wrong. If the sole can come out its fake does your have a sole that can be taken out?
The insoles cannot be taken out. The inside tag is also whitish clear. I’m certain they are real. Just the size on the inside tags differ - left is 11.5 (I assume for women) and the size on the right is 10 but they are clear white. So when you say your real pair had wrong tags, did they differ like mine?
my tags matched but my soles came off i think yours are good if ebay authentictaed them you should be good to go
So the size on the inside tags of your real pair also match? Thank you for your help - the variant market makes me paranoid
@@jamesd6873 yes they did yes the fakes are getting better and better. I got scammed twice once when the alphafly 1 just came out and the 2s when they came out too but now i know how to tell them apart we live and learn!
Can i use my maxflys for longjump? Btw my event is 100 and longjump
do not use the maxflys for longjumps as the maxfly is just meant for sprinting. zif you do long jump its recomended you get long jumo spikes.
Hello everyone.. is the plate rigid as Puma Tokyo or good ?
the plate is very rigid but not more them puma tokyo
@@francis6249 thanks ..
@@delvinci8016 out of the 2 i like the puma better but right now i perfer maxfly 1 or 2 the most i love the bounciness
@@francis6249 ok i prefer the superfly but it’s top is very fragile
@@delvinci8016 superfly elite 2 is one of my fav depending on how wide your feet are and how you run it can wear out quick
i got them as well, first time having protos so they gonna be meet day only spikes lol
great how ya like them?
No voice bro
there is audio but is it too low for you guys to hear?
@@francis6249the audio is absolutely fine, don’t know what this guys on about
Thanks bro. Really need this I ordered some and I wanted to see they are real thanks bro
I don't there was much change with prime sp3 Did you see the upcoming Tokyo nitro 3?? The plate looks absolutely CRAZY They are a bit more aggressive because of the more upward angle the front part You should definitely try out the current Tokyo nitro
hello yes i agree not many changes in priem sp 3 but the puma series looks good i wont be getting them though
@@francis6249 did you see the Tokyo nitro 3?? why won't you get them?
Hope you heal quick and well bro
Thanks Kensichen its not as bad as i thought it was but it will take patience!
Are the spikes removable or no?
yes these are!
How does the plate compare to some of the original Nike Ja Fly spikes? It looks like a similar concept to what was used back in the day for those (also called the powercats). I have the Prime SP 1, and they have the stiffest plastic plate I've ever come across. This is really similar to that?
hello i would say the plate is quite similar to the original ja fly but stiffer. However it is not stiffer then the prime sp 1 that is probably one of the stiffest plates ever
@@francis6249 Thanks. Just ordered a pair. I loved the original Ja Fly. I am currently running in the Ja Fly 4, which is a good shoe. It’s not all that stiff though
Moonies bay?
no this in montreal
Nuce
Good work bro
thank you i feel im slowly making progress!
Good try
thanks its a good start to a frustarting last 4 years
Almost every track spike product on eBay looks sketch what do you think, also, do you think the Maxfly 2 will be the best sprinting spike when it comes out?
i think it will be between nike maxfly 2 and adidas prime sp 3.
@@francis6249 interesting, I just started sprinting 2 months ago and got maxflys. Currently 15 running about 11.8. Do you think they’re under those addidas shoes now? Also, do you mind watching my form and helping me what I need to improve on real quick
Almost every track spike product on eBay looks sketch what do you think, also, do you think the Maxfly 2 will be the best sprinting spike when it comes out?
hey yes Nike maxfly 2 will be one of the better spikes out there and also the adidas prime sp 3 will be good. I will tell you ebay you have to check the authenticity of the shoes most of them aree fine and real ive bought from them many times and they are legit because they check now if the shoes are real before sending to you.
not the tights🤦🏻♂️
haha its a track and field thing we like to wear tights
Éclipse solaire pas lunaire
noted thanks ill change caption
On the curves the superfly elite 2s are better, but straight aways are the maxflys
yes exactly i agree
Yes!!! Great work! Quick question about this exercise, what is the goal of it exactly?
thank you so much right now we in outdoor prep mode so we are focusing on lifting a good weight and properly as for track workouts we are training 3 running sessions a week. 1 day on blocks 2nd day on max speed 3rd day is more volume day. The point od this excercise is to use the force to properly explode the movement as we go down and up
How bout the New balance SD-X. I’m planning to get it
I’ve heard it’s better than the maxflys
its a good spike i dont like it because its too narrow round the toe box area
I'd go up 1/2 a size. I struggled with it being too tight, as well.
Can you compare it to Adidas X_Plrboost? Which one is more comfortable?
hello the adidas x plrboost is more like a sneaker not meant for running sprints more like a casual wear shoe
Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
haha yep had fun jumping that high!
MIC TOO LOW
sorry bout that
@@francis6249 ay man been watching your videos recently. Watched 4 of yours in the past 2 days. I’m new to track, I run a 12.1 100m as a sophomore. I was using some random distance spikes. I was thinking about getting the maxfly or superfly elite 2s. Any suggestions?? I don’t know what to get and I’m lost with all these UA-cam videos. From my understanding: everyone uses the Maxflys and their the best sprinting spikes out by far.. is that true?
@@francis6249 i subbed😁
@@francis6249 I don’t mind spending my money on spikes I just don’t want to break before a dozen sessions/races or so
@@francis6249hey, can you let me know if these are the best 100-400m on the market. I’m new to track, I’m a sophomore and I run 12.1. I’m not familiar with track but from what I’ve seen I’ve heard that the Maxflys are the best out right now
Hi bro. I bought these. And ehen i wear them, my big toe rests under the normal upper part snd not the reinforced upper part, is that a problem? Will it last long?
hello yes they are very tight but dont worry you should be fine the atomknit is very strong
@@francis6249 ohh thanks that's good. I wear them with socks and the tightness is really good. Super comfortable. Also the stiffness, i LOVE it. Those fake Superflys collapse super easily. I had Puma evospeed sprint 10 before. They were a bit too large. I can use them by putting socks in the heel part. And even though they are beginner spikes, the plate stiffness and aggressiveness is much better and can definitely feel it while sprinting. The plate doesn't collapse, the overall support is really good. Can wait to test the new BEASTS.
Have you noticed any difference in times between the spikes? I've done a lot of testing using the FreeLap system and honestly haven't found the new technology to be any faster. My fastest flys have been in more traditional spikes: Nike Rival S and Nike Ja Fly 4.
i honestly havent felt any difference like you . I think the problem with me is im not in shape as i was 5 6 years ago when i was running under 1 seconds in the 30m+ 10m flys. I ran faster with superfly elite 1 then i do with maxfly or prime sp 2
@@francis6249 I hit a 0.94 10m fly 2x in the Nike Ja 4 and 1x in the Rival S within the last year. My best with the MaxFly is a 0.96 at the moment, but I've used the MaxFly a little less. When I go back-and-forth in the same practice, it hasn't been any faster. But I did drop my 150m practice PB in them last summer (16.22).
very nice times i think its because you may not used to running in the maxflys. I honestly think maxflys are better for the end of the race then the start especially in the 10m fly. It takes time running in maxflys i know alot of high level coaches saying that its not a shoe every sprinter should wear. I know 2 coaches who told there athletes not to wear maxflys instead try the prime sp 2. I agree because honestly i never ran faster with maxflys then i did with superflys but its different for me because right now my performance last couple years has been on the decline i beleive if i had maxflys back in the days i wouldve ran under 11 seconds in the 100m and close to 7 seconds in the 60m easily.@@tracktuary
@@francis6249do u think I should buy them I’m new to sprinting I’m sophomore and run 12.1
Aye you tell em bro🫡 Keep going!
thanks!
Yo I was just wondering how does a movement like this convert to the track
see when your striking the ground out of your drive phase into transition phase you want your leg landing below your hips in a sort of B skip movement, watch noah lyles run you will see he strikes the ground with so much power below the hip while everyone elese is butt kicking. So the movement of the quarter squat is to imitate the b skip and how your strking the ground running. Its hard for me because i am strong but not powerful meaning i dont know how to properly strike the ground. I used to overstride and quarter squats are used to help your technique and explosiveness when striking the ground. When i ran 7.10 and 11.00 in 100m i was actually not striking the ground properly i was light and fast but my form and posture was very poor i was butt kicking alot and ive been trying to fix it now.
Hey man, do you notice any difference between the normal Maxfly vs the Maxfly Uptempo?
people say theres a difference but honestly i dont see any difference they run exactly the same. The airbag might be smaller but thats it. Id wait for the maxfly 2 and prime sp 3 to come out this summer. its a big year for our sport expect alot new things coming out next few months
Hey man! Keep doing you and keep striving to get better. Forget about these negative comments, most people don't even know what they are talking about! Stay focused on whaty you can control. Good luck for nationals, wish you a SB!
thank you james hope your doing well!
