What Running Shoes Do I Use For Marathon Training? | 2024 Running Shoe Rotation

[@loserdorkface7]

Thank you for this. Been training for a half and this was helpful

[@joshuaxruns]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Dizzywind]

Good video. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

[@joshuaxruns]

Thank you!

[@collinbigart4593]

Interesting! I keep it super simple with 1 pair of daily trainers. Grats on the Coros partnership man!

[@joshuaxruns]

I started with just the Pegasus and then pretty shortly after moved to a 2 shoe rotation. I used that for a little over a year before adding more to the lineup. And thank you!!!

[@joshuaxruns]

That was actually my second pair of shoes. I loved the first version of the Nike infinity run!

For race day shoe, if the course is hill marathon with high elevation gain, vaporfly and alphafly which is better?

[@joshuaxruns]

I personally prefer the Alphafly. I like both shoes a lot, but in the later stages of the marathon the extra bounce from the Alphafly and the air pods just seem to be more forgiving. I haven’t tried the Vaporfly 3 though so I can’t speak to how they’ve improved.

Have you tried the adidas adios pro 3? Great bang for your buck tempo/race day shoe

[@joshuaxruns]

I actually really want to try it! I’ve heard great things about the pro 3. I’ve run in the Boston 10 and adios 6 and actually liked those so I’m assuming I would like the pro 3. Thanks!

[@adultslovepokemon6615]

@@joshuaxruns yeah man, highly recommend them! They feel like a hybrid. Between the AF 2 and VF 2. Little less cushion than the AF 2 but more than the VF 2, with nice responsiveness.

[@joshuaxruns]

Nice! Definitely on the list as a shoe to get for my next race.

Hello!

[@redscap17]

i love superblast and pegasus 40

[@joshuaxruns]

Same! 2 of my favorite shoes.

[@scottb.1243]

Did you need to size up for the alpha fly?

[@joshuaxruns]

I did not. Nike is one of the only brands where my TTS US 10.5 works across all shoes with no issues.

[@Anthony.462]

I know it’s late but I wear 10 in all shoes and size 10 alpha flys fitted me perfectly

[@KodaBear123]

Hoka till I die

[@joshuaxruns]

Still haven’t tried Hoka but I’ve heard great things! I want to try the Mach 5.

Extremely boring rotation but if it's working it's all good. Have a great running year !

[@joshuaxruns]

Running shoe rotations don’t need to be exciting, they just need to work. This rotation works for me at the moment but I’m always open to improving where I believe something may work better. The idea of the video was to give a better understanding of how I utilize a type of shoe for my training, regardless of what model or brand it is.

[@Amen20]

@@joshuaxruns for some people it don't need to be exciting, for me it helps as it motivates me to run. I'm just that way. I envy people that find all the joy in just running itself. All the best !

[@joshuaxruns]

Very true! I do find when I get a new shoe it helps motivate me for a little bit but eventually my motivation goes back to baseline 😂 and thank you!

[@adultslovepokemon6615]

@@Amen20 How would his shoe rotation be more exciting? You run in stilts or something?

[@Amen20]

@@adultslovepokemon6615 Sonics Rocket Shoes would be preferable, you should try it instead of stilts , you might look silly in those.
