I’m training for the Gold Coast (Australia) half marathon in July. I’ve only ever entered races when running alongside friends/family, so it’ll be the first race I have entered running alone and have set a goal of a sub 90min. I’ve been watching all your videos and listening to the podcast for inspiration!

As a long time cyclist, Decathlon have always been a favorite, now i've turned to a bit of running too (9 months ago), It's good to see that they'll be helping me there with affordable good quality kit. Have done a sprint duathlon but will be doing an 10k in 2 weeks, then the London Duathlon (September) and then Nottingham Half Marathon (September?)! Full Marathon next year? Not given up cycling though C2C scheduled this year and Cycling holiday in the Alps (although this becomes an "Altitude training camp" for cycling and running😄64 so no time to waste!!😉

I ran a 10k race recently in my new Saucony Kinvara Pro shoes - a carbon-plated model for everyday training. I shaved over 5 minutes off last year's time, coming in third in my age group (M70-79) with 57:04. Last week I ran the B.A.A. 5K in these shoes - they felt great, though they might be a bit stiff for a marathon. I'm training for another 10k in June and hope to shave off a few more minutes. The Kiprun 900X LD looks very interesting.

I could afford all those branded high end shoes but WHY should I pay half of the silly exaggerated retail price for the (insert famous brand name) tag when Decathlon does the job just as nice? Who cares about my own silly PBs in the end anyways? I own exactly one pair of carbon shoes, NB Fuel Cell Supercomp Pacer bought on sale for 109 € / 116 USD / 93 GBP and yes I did my 5k PB in them, 22:07 at 45. Would hardly pay more for ANY shoe. A shoe doesn't save my middle-aged a&&, more consistent training will.

I recently completed my first marathon with the goal of sub 4 which I didn't achieve. But I already signed up for 2 more in half a year and a year from now. I'll definitely get the sub 4 next time. I was admiring these shoes and wondering if I should get them in the future, but I know carbons are suited for faster paces than 5:40/km. So if I would've won them I would train for 10k and eventually do the race with these super shoes ❤

@julieheim 9 күн бұрын

When it comes to race day shoes, it's common practice for myself to save the shoes for race day only. I find that training in the specific made shoe, say interval shoes for training before said race and then wear the race day shoes is ultimately what works best for me as it gives a sense of confidence that I need in the race and it prolongs the freshness/effectiveness of the racing shoe.

Interesting video! I tend to wear an everyday trainer shoe for any easy runs, but do reach for the supershoes for interval sessions or long runs with significant race pace sections. With my coach now seemingly adding tempo sections in all my long runs it feels like I'm doing most of my running in supershoes now! (Luckily I have access to significantly discounted pricing). I've run in Alphfly, Vaporfly, Adio Pro3 and NB Supercomp Elite v3 - but I'm always keen to experiment with other shoes and haven't yet decided what I'm going to wear for Gold Coast Marathon in July.

Thanks TRC for the video. Really interesting insight into shoe design and development. Have never tried plated shoes as I can’t justify the cost to essentially go a little bit faster (maybe!) Would love to try them though and the latest version both look the business and appear to make a decent difference. Running a summer trail 50k but looking at one of the autumn marathons near me. Possibly Farnham or Isle of Wight Marathon.
