Hey TrueZoneCoaching community!

We've been getting a lot of questions about whether it's a good idea to always run in carbon-plated shoes. It's a hot topic in the running world, and we thought it would be great to address it here.

Carbon-plated shoes, like the Adidas Adizero series or the Nike Vapor Fly series, have been all the rage recently. They're designed to provide a spring-like effect that can help improve running efficiency and speed. But should you always run in them?

The answer is: it depends. These shoes are fantastic for race days or speed workouts, where you're looking to shave off a few seconds from your time. However, they might not be the best choice for every run.

For easy or recovery runs, a more cushioned shoe might be more beneficial. It's also important to remember that running is a highly individual sport, and what works for one person might not work for another.

We've done some in-depth reviews and comparisons of carbon-plated shoes on our YouTube channel, like the "Adidas Adizero Boston 11 vs. Boston 12: In-Depth Comparison & Review for Runners" and the "Adidas Adizero Prime X Strung vs Nike Alpha Fly Next % 2: The Ultimate Supershoe Showdown". Check them out if you haven't already!

Remember, the most important thing is to listen to your body and choose the shoes that feel the most comfortable for you. Happy running!

Let us know in the comments what your experience with carbon-plated shoes has been. We'd love to hear from you!



Keep running, keep exploring, and as always, stay in your TrueZone!
