Why did I post a picture of my old running shoes on LinkedIn? Last year, I started taking long-distance running more seriously and quite soon discovered a little-mentioned challenge that the running shoe segment (like the broader footwear industry) faces significant challenges in terms of waste management and recycling. My total annual mileage last year was a bit over 2500 km. When you compare it with the data that, on average, a pair of running shoes lasts anywhere from 600 to 1000 kilometers (before needing to be replaced due to wear and tear) simple math shows that I “run through” about 3 pairs of shoes. (one of them is In the picture) And my yearly mileage is quite average. They are still OK for walking but how many shoes do you need for walking? Given various factors such as: 1. Running popularity - Running has become increasingly popular as a form of exercise, recreation, and sport around the world. The rise of running events, training apps, and online communities has contributed to a growing number of amateur runners. 2. Participation in long-distance running - There are a considerable number of amateur runners who regularly participate in long-distance running events like marathons, ultra-marathons, and endurance challenges. It's reasonable to estimate that there are potentially millions of amateur runners (like me) globally. This means that millions of running shoes are disposed each year. What are brands doing to resolve it? Several of them claim that they have initiated recycling programs and sustainability initiatives to address the environmental impact of their products. But unfortunately, it’s a shame to admit that none of that is seen in the Baltics. Have I missed something or what can we expect from the future? 1.

At #RunMechcanics, quite a few runners reach out to us to help them in choosing running shoes based on their foot mechanics. We wanted to find out the perspective of the broader running community on how much they know about their foot mechanics, and how they select their running shoes. We are sharing some of the insights from the survey in this article. #runningshoes #shoes #running #footmechanics https://lnkd.in/gVZ4JA_g

Choosing the Right Running Shoes: A Comprehensive Guide

#runningshoes 📝 Race season is in full swing, and one of the most important aspects of preparing for the race is choosing your running shoes. So I thought it was time to choose the perfect shoes for my half marathon 🏃🏻♀️. I pondered this question and went searching for answers on the expanse of the internet 🧐 and among scientific researches. On one hand, there's carbon technology that massively covered the entire running world, and on the other, there's the traditional "classic" running shoe. Amateur runners are buying up super shoes faster than world records are being set. On each corner, you can hear that the high stiffness of carbon helps improve power pulsation, resulting in energy savings and increased speed. But can they enhance any speed? So far, carbon footwear has been tested at running pace of 4:37 per km or faster. This means the tests apply to those who run a marathon in 3 hours and 15 minutes or faster, and this result was achieved by less than 15% of the participants in the 2023 Chicago Marathon. However, there is a new study 📚 that was done to find out whether slower runners would benefit from super shoes. At slower running speeds, runners achieved only 1.4% running economy at a pace of 5:00 per km and 0.9% at a pace of 6:00 per km, compared to 2.7-4.2% that runners achieved at a pace of 4:37 per km or faster. A faster runner that exerts more pressure on the pavement compresses the foam more than a slower runner that does not exert as much pressure on the pavement due to its speed. Although the results showed an average improvement in running economy, one-third of the participants actually showed a deterioration in running economy. At lower speeds, the rigid carbon plate may stop saving the runner's energy and instead create the need for additional energy to activate the plate's compression. Regarding injury 🚑, there are several different opinions. There is research suggesting that super shoes reduce the load on parts of the calf, such as the Achilles tendon and calf muscles. Some see this as a positive, while others believe it may lead to atrophy of these tendons and muscles. There has also been a tendency to increase repetitive stress injuries in the hamstrings and hip flexors in runners who often wear carbon shoes. In addition, carbon shoes can have the opposite effect when running on the heel. The only thing everyone agrees on is that carbon shoes should be combined with regular shoes in everyday training. Is it worth investing in carbon shoes? 💶 Unlocking the potential of carbon shoes is not easy. Choosing and using in the right way carbon shoes can improve your running performance in certain circumstances, but first consider your goals, experience, and the character of your running! And the question to you - what do you think about carbon shoes and their impact on your running? Share your thoughts 💭😊👇🏻! adidas Nike PUMA Group HOKA New Balance Saucony #running
