Should You Wear Carbon Running Shoes for Your Long Runs?
Hello, Rich here again, Lead Coach at Kinetic Fitness
In my previous blog, we looked at whether carbon running shoes are really worth the investment and how they can help improve running economy on race day. Since then, one question has come up time and time again from our members:
"Should I be wearing my carbon shoes for my long runs, or should I save them just for sprints?"
It's a great question, and the answer isn't quite as straightforward as you might think.
I've also put together a short video on this topic, so before you dive into the blog, take a quick look at the video below where I explain when to use your carbon running shoes for longer runs and how to get the most out of them during your training.
Then, read on for a more detailed breakdown and some practical tips you can apply to your own marathon or half marathon training.
