1 week ago | outsideonline.com | Alex Hutchinson

The Nike Vaporfly 4% wasn’t shy about how much of a boost it claimed to give runners: the promise was right there in the name. When the shoe was released back in 2017, researchers at the University of Colorado published data showing that it improved athletes’ running economy (i.e., efficiency) by an average of 4 percent over the best marathon shoes at the time.
