Running my first marathon pretty soon. I've ran the distance before in trainers at a slow pace, but have never raced it. I'm hoping to run about 3:10 or faster.
Might be important to mention that I'm a HS senior about to finish out my last track season. The marathon is a few weeks after my last track race. I'm better at long distance like 10ks or half marathons but I do what I can in track.
Should I get racing shoes for the marathon e.g. Alpha/Vaporflies, or another similar one? I've been looking at ASICS Metaspeed Sky too. I don't want to run it in trainers because it'll wreck my feet. I do have some Nike Streakflies but they gave me problems even during a half marathon, so I doubt they'll work for a full.
