Recommended for beginners with some running foundation. The Horsepower 3's carbon plate delivers moderate, unintimidating propulsion, while the Nitrogen-Carbon integrated midsole provides balanced cushioning and stability — nothing like the aggressive feel of elite racers. For runners with 3-6 months of experience at 5:30-6:30/km pace, this is an excellent entry point into carbon-plate shoes. You'll benefit from the propulsion without overwhelming your legs. Start with shorter distances to gradually adapt to the carbon plate feel.
