Which shoes are suitable for running?

The choice of shoes when running is a very important thing. Only comfortable shoes can better protect yourself and avoid injuries during running. Running shoes are divided into jogging shoes and performance training shoes. You should choose according to your needs.

1. Types of running shoes

1. Jogging shoes: for ordinary running enthusiasts. Pay full attention to protection and avoid sports injuries. The general life span is 1,000 kilometers. Features are heavy and perfect protection.

2. Performance training shoes: prepared for professional and semi-professional long-distance runners, dedicated to track training. This type of shoe focuses on protection and lightweight balance, on the one hand to prevent athletes from getting injured during training, and on the other hand to allow athletes to achieve good results.

3. Marathon shoes: Shoes only prepared for marathon running, not suitable for daily jogging. It is so light that it is almost weightless, has poor protection properties and an extremely short lifespan.

2. How to distinguish them

Jogging shoes are generally heavy and have very thick soles. Performance training shoes are in the middle and can feel lighter than regular athletic shoes and much lighter than jogging shoes. Marathon shoes are very light, almost weightless, and the soles are also very thin and easy to distinguish. Running enthusiasts are more suitable for jogging shoes. The protection provided by this type of shoe is far from adequate compared to jogging shoes, because on the one hand, professional athletes are in much better physical condition than us enthusiasts and have much better skills in avoiding sports injuries; on the other hand, in pursuit of lightness, manufacturers must abandon a lot of protective technology. This shoe exists for one purpose only: to help professional marathon runners achieve the highest performance in the race.

3. Determine what shoes you should use

1. Running road conditions

The roads are first divided into cross-country and trail running. Cross-country running refers to running on roads that are not artificially built, or are not built so "well", such as mountain roads, dirt roads, and woods. Track running includes tracks, roads and other straight roads, whether made of plastic, cement or asphalt.

2. Running posture

This is the most important step and the one that is least likely to go wrong. If you make a mistake, you might end up spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on a pair of running shoes, but after running for a day in them, you might as well suffer. Generally there are three types of running postures: eversion, inversion, and severe inversion. These three are continuous and progressive relationships.
