I was looking for a shoe for the time in between marathons—but found a pair that I’ll wear a lot longer than that.
I’m someone who always loves having a race to look forward to. Multiple marathons in one year? Sign me up. But along the way I’ve learned that how I run in the time between race training is just as important as how I perform in the races themselves.So when I returned from a marathon in Sydney, Australia, with another at home in New York City a couple of months off, I knew I needed to approach this interlude tactically.
This time, I make a point of paying close attention to how my new Altras perform on the neutral testing ground that the flat terrain of the West Side Highway provides. Despite the added cushioning, I don’t feel like there’s anything hindering my speed. Additionally, the rocker shape of the shoe encourages a smooth running motion, so I’m not forcing my feet to act in an unnatural fashion. It dawns on me that these might be more than recovery shoes—they’re performance shoes, too.
