What percentage of your weekly mileage is in a supershoe?

i ran a 68min HM yesterday, and i do 100% of my mileage in supershoes, they protect my muscles so i can run more

The NEW streakfly

^This. I still have the original vaporfly I bought five years ago.

I have never run in a Super Shoe

College runner:

Brooks Ghost Max for easy days, VF3 for tempos, NB Pacer 2 for 5K pace or faster, Adios Pro 3 for long runs

Last week for example had about 22 miles (out of 70) in the latter 3 shoes, 14 of which from the long run

20-30% on average. Long runs and workouts. Occasionally for recovery runs. I mostly use older super shoes for the workouts.

I currently do 100% of my mileage in the Mizuno Wave Rebellion Pro 3. Super supportive shoe that feels good, I honestly just can’t think of any reason to run in something else

Around 10%

I usually only use it on workouts like my recent one at HM pace so I know how they'll respond for that race I'm gonna use em for. Also, I like that special feeling you get when putting them on race morning and wearing them everyday would dilute that feeling imo.

zero percent. Too old and slow to bother with supershoes.

I would too, but I'm too poor, so just races and time trials for me.

I like the streakfly

I normally buy one pair of Vapor's per year for racing and use the older ones for trainers. I'm lucky to get 300 miles in before the sole's are shredded .

Total mileage is around 90-100 mpw in six days.

Two double T days done in vaporflies, so about 25-30% of total mileage. All other days done in the Pegasus. This is standard for the whole team. We do not have many injuries. Very, very few.

If Superblast's count as a supershoe then I wear them for like 40% of my mileage during marathon training.

Other than that I only really wear a good pair once or twice leading up to a goal race. Sometimes I'll throw on an aging pair for a workout.

It does protect against injury in the sense that it's so light that you can have more foam without sacrificing performance all that much. More foam means more shock absorption means you get banged up less over the course of a long run.

So you can have the similar quality of run as with a regular fast trainer but without the same recovery cost.

Thanks for this feedback. I am about to retire my vaporfly. So I can still use it for workout?

Mid 40s, 25ish miles per week, occasional race, was able to bang out a few "super shoe" times not too far removed from my 30s.

Endorphin pros for sure help legs but do a number on my achillies.

Outside of races, use them 4 or 5 times per month mostly for tempo/intervals or if my mid-level xc kids need help pacing a targeted workout. Anything slower than 730, at least for me, and they just don't feel right.

Last gen super shoes are cheaper than some daily trainers

100%. I can get more than 2000 km out of Adidas models (currently I own new AP 4 and AP 3 with 1800 km) and at least 1000 km out of Nike shoes (my VF 3 is currently at 800 km, and AF 3 at 500 km). So if I buy 2, maybe 3 pairs per year, I cannot afford to run in anything else, because three pairs easily get me to my yearly 4000-5000km. I will never understand why some people retire shoes at 500 km, especially adidas foams last forever.

I will probably not buy Nike anymore, AP 3 is great also for easy/recovery runs, but VF3/AF3 are really only meant for fresh legs and faster runs, so it would be difficult having only Nike models.
