MILEAGE RUN SHOES
The not too distant past saw a clear delineation between race and training run shoes. Race shoes were little more than a stretch of fabric; off-season shoes were heavy. Advancements have seen race shoes retain their lithe construction but with less sacrifice to comfort; off-season shoes have retained cushioning, lost mass and improved flexibility.
The result is high-mileage shoes that, at least for some here, could transfer to races. All that said, consuming mile after mile in search of faster 2021 race performance is their primary remit, meaning every shoe here’s designed with greater cushioning to absorb stresses and reduce injury potential.
That’s the theory. In practice, there’s actually little empirical evidence to support the maxim ‘high cushioning equals low injury’. Yet anecdotally, experienced triathletes – especially of a taller, larger
