    It depends on the sales when the new models cover out. Can't resist when they become bargains.

    Fully signed up to adidas….Boston 12 for runs up to 90mins, Takumi Sen 8 for ‘racing’, Adios 6 for faster training, and on my last pair of the version one SL for easy runs, awaiting the new SL2 as SL2.0/SL3.0 caused me issues. I log all my training in Fetcheveryone, which keeps track of kit mileage too. Usually only get to about 250 miles before niggles, which are then cured by new shoes!

      Some Adidas models you can get more out of. I'm on nearly 500 miles on my first pair of Pro 3s. It's only because the upper is splitting that I'm looking for a new pair.

    I have a lot of shoes, but also have what I call my specialty shoes - thus in addition to what you mentioned if it's colder than 28F/-2C or snow/slushy roads I'll wear a Goretex shoe, if it's hotter than 90F/32C I'll go with something super ventilated/mesh. Then I have injury recovery shoes (motion control) which are horrible until you need a shoe to restrict/limit your mechanics and keep them in a safe zone as you recover/heal - then a MC shoe is your best friend allowing you to safely return to running without producing inflammation or swelling in your knee or hip - and come back early as your injury is actually still healing.

    When I started triathlons back in 2012, i had one pair of shoes and that was it. I ran in them for three years and replaced them with some funky Hoka triathlon shoes before doing an Ironman. I had absolutely no idea about different types of shoes and what you might need. Now, i have a ridiculous amount of shoes and I cant explain how I got here! I do get annoyed when good pairs of shoes are discontinued - just business I guess. My general weekly rotation is one easy daily trainer, one faster/race shoe, one trail shoe and one run in a pair of Altras for injury prevention.

    I think my biggest issue is that I’m constantly wanting to try new shoes and can’t bring myself to picking up a second pair of the same shoe. I’ll buy that new version after they have made a number of changes and when I’m out on the run wishing I had stocked up on the old version.

    • @tworunningbrooms
      @tworunningbrooms  7 місяців тому

      A lesson we've learnt, hence now buying a couple of the same version once we know we like them a lot.

    Yeah it's an interesting topic. I could get away with the zoomfly3 and vaporfly2 for everything. Though I have more and try to share the load. Nearly half way through the yard and only bought 1 pair this year.

    • @tworunningbrooms
      @tworunningbrooms  7 місяців тому +1

      You're doing well, having bought just 1 pair this year. I guess most of your running is focused on marathons?

    Cracking video guys. I've been out on some unwalkable trails this morning 😅
    I've noticed recently, as a free user of Strava, that the app no longer shows me the distance run in each pair, as I'm selecting which shoe goes with a particular activity.
    Now I'm not sure how far I've run in each pair, so I'm going to need to use Dawn's method of going by how they feel.

    Price is my motivation to buy. Not interested in this year's models or colours. Looking for a decent price and if it's at a great price ... I might buy one and get Sal to buy one for birthday or Xmas. I've got 7 at the moment, one of which is for the trails. Looking towards December before I might even consider buying another.

      We both have a dew older pairs of non carbon trainers. Dawn liked Nike Pegasus and myself New Balance 150s. But in truth, we now run mainly in Adidas, which has carbon rods rather than plates.

      It's up to.the individual how many pairs of trainers they have, but do we actually need as many as we may own, probably not. We both have many pairs, but that's because we like owning and running in them. However, we have far more than is needed. 😁
