Hi, Team.
A Puma-funded study showed that the Fast-R Nitro Elite 3 improves running economy by as much as 3.6 percent compared to the RW+ Membership Benefits and Revolutionary new engineering and materials lead to big running economy gains. (Translation: you use less energy to run at a given speed.) That has led to lots of excitement on social media and for some to claim this is the new king of marathon racing shoes. But, is it? Jeff and Theo talk about how they tested the shoe and how it compares to other with any questions you want answered or topics you want us to address in future episodes that you might reach for in your next race. RW+ members can watch the full episode below.
Thanks for watching. And be sure to leave a comment or send us an email at rwclubhouse@hearst.com with any questions you want answered or topics you want us to address in future episodes.

Guide to Pro Runner Form Runner’s World and the director of product testing. He has tested and reviewed running shoes, GPS watches, headphones, apparel, and more for nearly two decades. He regularly tests more than 100 pairs of shoes each year, and once had a 257-day streak running in different models. Jeff can usually be found on the roads, racing anything from the mile to a marathon, but he also enjoys racing up mountains and on snowshoes. When he’s not running, you’ll probably find him hanging from a ladder making repairs and renovations to his house (he’s also director of product testing for Popular Mechanics).
