Rotation
Owning multiple pairs of running shoes for different purposes to extend shoe life and reduce injury risk.
Why Rotate Shoes?
Shoe Rotation means having a quiver:
- Daily Trainer: For easy miles.
- Speed Shoe: For intervals/tempo.
- Racer: For race day.
Studies suggest rotating shoes alters the stress on your body slightly with each run, potentially reducing repetitive strain injuries. Plus, it lets the foam "bounce back" between runs.
