Anyway the fly's are pretty damn cool. I ran a marathon last year and a half earlier this year in the cheaper ones are broke my PRs both times. I don't train in them, they are reserved just for events.
- Mistletoe 2y agoWhy don’t you train in them?
- llimllib 2y agoThey’re expensive and last less time than regular trainers
- tetris11 2y agodon't they throw off your gait if you're not used to them at said events?
- schiffern 2y agoIf you feel like sponsoring them, I'm sure they'll be happy to adopt a "cost is no object" attitude. Otherwise the obvious conclusion is that the training mismatch is less costly than frequently replacing expensive shoes.
- bberenberg 2y agoCan’t speak for others but as an amateur marathoner, this didn’t happen to me. The biggest thing I noticed wasn’t even that I sped up but that it reduced pain for the next day vs practice marathons I had run in my trainers. If I get richer I’ll switch to using race shoes for all runs for health reasons, not speed ones.
- inSenCite 2y agoYeah mostly cost related as others have suggested, I also use more cushioned shoes for training to help reduce fatigue for the back-to-back weeks of long runs. I thought the same thing about gait but gave it a shot anyway. Didn't throw me off all that much, and I still enjoyed running in the firmer fly's. I did do a few trial short runs before the long run just so I was not going in cold. To give an idea of shoe wear. I'll easily run through 1 pair in a year if I'm training for a marathon (just to run it). If I'm training to beat PRs then I'll go through almost 2.
