Anta C202 7 review - first run and first impressions. It’s been a while since I last tested a carbon plated “go faster” running shoe on the channel, so today I’m excited to lace up something completely new. In this video, I’m running in the Anta C202 7, a lightweight carbon plated running shoe designed for performance training and race day. Anta is a brand I haven’t featured on the channel before, and I know what many of you might be thinking: another overhyped and overpriced carbon shoe. But that’s not the case here. The Anta C202 7 retails in the UK for around £130, making it one of the more affordable carbon plated running shoes currently available. If you’re looking for a budget friendly carbon plated running shoe for racing or fast workouts, this first impressions and review video is definitely worth watching. Thanks for watching, we'll see you in the next video and as always – stay safe and keep on running! 0:00 Intro 2:02 Anta 2:40 Facts and figures 3:18 Upper 4:47 Midsole 6:15 Outsole 7:10 Test run 8:05 Sizing and fit 11:31 Nike Vaporfly 2 comparison test run 12:25 How the shoes performed 16:55 Conclusion #BestRunningShoes #Running #CarbonPlatedShoes JOIN THE RUN4ADVENTURE FAMILY 📣 SUPPORT US • Subscribe for more trail & ultra running adventures • Give us a 👍 if you enjoyed the video • Check out our merch – https://www.run4adventure.uk/#merch • Become a Patron – https://www.patreon.com/run4adventure • Treat us to a coffee – https://www.buymeacoffee.com/run4adventure 🌐 FOLLOW US • Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/run4adventure.uk/ • Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/run4adventure • Strava – https://www.strava.com/athletes/3229826 • Strava Club – https://www.strava.com/clubs/run4adventure Contact us: hello@run4adventure.uk ---------------------------------------------------- 🏃 OUR FAVOURITE RUNNING GEAR Precision Fuel & Hydration - https://visit.pfandh.com/run4adventure - use this link for 15% off your first order Harrier Trail Running - https://harrierrunfree.avln.me/c/CowNrnniHboC - use this link for 10% off trail running gear SAYSKY - https://saysky.co.uk/ - use code RUN4BUS15 for 15% off Saysky running kit INOV8 - https://inov8.avln.me/c/xfMAOgMyUkxg - use this link for 15% off running shoes and apparel Fenixlight - https://www.fenixlight.co.uk/ - use code FENIX-R4A for 10% off Fenix headtorches COROS - https://coros.avln.me/c/MONuQKZahSmR - use this link for a free watch band with any watch purchase (make sure to add the watch band to the cart) Bob and Brad massage guns – https://www.bobandbrad.com/our-store - use code RUN4BBMSG10 to get 10% off all Bob and Brad massage guns in the UK SunGod – https://www.sungod.co/s/run4adventure/ 📸 CAMERA GEAR GoPro HERO11 – https://amzn.to/46xUHkd GoPro HERO9 – https://amzn.to/3q5BMb6 GoPro Media Mod – https://amzn.to/40bpEH8 GoPro Shorty Mini Extension Pole with Tripod – https://amzn.to/4eJ3u51 Mini Tripod Selfie Stick – https://amzn.to/40KyNXc GoPro Battery Charger + Batteries – https://amzn.to/3GxPq1z Canon EOS M50 – https://amzn.to/44HxlWY Lowepro Flipside 200 Camera bag – https://amzn.to/2FrmjtY RØDE VideoMic Pro+ Microphone – https://amzn.to/2IVnoLq RØDE Wireless GO II – https://amzn.to/3GdY3OQ DJI Neo Fly More Combo Mini Drone – https://amzn.to/407AWMs ----------------------------------------------------- 🎵 MUSIC from Epidemic Sound – free trial: https://share.epidemicsound.com/d1f0fc Balloons by Joakim Karud Summer by bensound.com ----------------------------------------------------- Disclosure: Some links above are affiliate links.
