Running
The right running trainer can transform your training. From daily miles to race day, we have the picks that perform.
Daily Trainer vs Race Day
Your daily trainer needs durability and cushioning. Your race shoe needs propulsion and speed. Most runners benefit from having both in rotation.
Cushioning Decoded
PEBA foam (used in Nike ZoomX, Adidas Lightstrike Pro) offers the best energy return. EVA is durable and affordable. Each has its place in your rotation.
The Carbon Plate Revolution
Carbon fibre plates embedded in race shoes create a propulsive effect that genuinely improves performance. Worth the investment for race day.
