If your legs don’t get “trashed” is it because you are training them less?

- mikestew 2y agoThat’s a solid question, but AFAIK it’s the cushion and energy return from that pricey foam that is the leg-saver. Training benefit remains the same for practical purposes.
- fire_lake 2y agoMy read on it is that it reduces the amount of engagement required by various muscles and particularly feet. It makes running a lower impact exercise, closer to cycling. This is great for training VO2 max but we mustn’t forget that one of great things about running is that it trains all sorts of small support muscles, particularly in feet and lower legs.
