Greetings. I'm thinking about replacing my running shoes. I'm male, 21, 1.90m (~6.2ft) tall, 90kg (~200lbs) weight. I'm quite on the heavy side for running (even though I'll probably cut to ~80kg while training), and I'm beginning my training for my first marathon in May. I've run previously 4 HM in the 1:50~2:00 range, and I'll be training for a 4:00 finish (So 5:38/km or 9:10/mile). I'll use Hal Higdon program and I expect to peak on... 40/50 MPW? Maybe? Still not sure.
With everything in mind, what shoes should I aim for? Anyone in my situation? I have run with a Merrell Bare Access Trail and with a Adidas supernova. I felt comfortable with both, but I felt like Merrell gave me knee pain after a few miles (which I think its normal due to my weight?), while Adidas one felt really heavy.
Also, as a side note, my feet are pretty width, so I feel pain on both sides and I would like a shoe with more width space.
Not sure if I have expressed myself properly (non-native speaker here). Thanks for your help and stay safe running!!
I have those as well, and contrary to them being labeled as a trail shoe, they're not. The true trail shoe that was like those (Bare Access Trail) is discontinued, leaving the Trail Glove. I have a pair of Trail Glove 3's with 281 miles and almost no sign of wear. I run in rainy, sloppy, muddy conditions with the Trail Gloves and have no problems with grip even though the tread doesn't look aggressive.
