I've run for a long time in the Lunaracer, Fast Switch and currently Adidas Adios Boost. They all start out lovely and then crap out by 150 miles. No cushion, no return, no push. Any suggestions for shoes with a similar profile than last longer?

are you training in your racing shoes?
150mi will last a while for a pair of racers. Say your average road race distance is 10k, that's 25 races you can do, which is probably more than a year of races.
Yeah, I do speedwork in my racers.
Pardon me. Racing flats.
If you can afford it, I believe it's more affordable to have a few pairs of trainers and then racing... I know it's contradictory but I believe it to be true. At the very least an everyday trainer and racing shoe. At best maybe these three options...
Long run shoe (do all your long runs & recovery, expands life of your everydays significantly) think: NB Zante, Hoka Clifton, Ultra 2, Tempolunar
Everyday Trainer (something you can warm up, cool down in. Also do tempo/intervals in) think: Meb Speed, Kinvara, Fast Switch, Go Run, Lunarracer, Adios Boost
Racing shoes (only race in these) think: Zoom Lt 2, A6, NB 1600

This hasn't been my experience with the Adios Boost at all. I've been putting roughly 1000 miles on a pair.
Not technically racing flats I guess but I have gotten 1.5 years out of my past two pairs of Nike Free 3.0's each.
Doing most of my workouts and all of my road races in them.

Free 5.0s also are worth considering
Vibrams, as no-one ever seems to buy a second pair.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
