If you had to run a marathon on concrete sidewalks what shoe would you wear?

A trail/road hybrid by Salomon or La Sportiva, which have a somewhat high stack but not marshmallows, and some arch support. They are well made and sturdy. But just thinking about running it gives me foot pains. I'd gallowalk that thing.

Vaporflys, same as a marathon on asphalt. Asphalt and concrete are effectively no different, any claimed difference is placebo.

Racing flats, like I always do. If it's on crete, what difference does it make?

From a geophysical point of view look at the following:

'If' the sole of shoe deforms by say 10mm in deceleration (will vary depending on shoe), the asphalt should deform by about < 0.01mm and concrete by

Not sure what happenned to rest of post, lets try again, where is the edit button?

Here's the rest...not sure what's going on.

Don't use greater than and less than signs on lets run. It breaks it.

From a geophysical point of view look at the following:

'If' the sole of shoe deforms by say 10mm in deceleration (will vary depending on shoe), the asphalt should deform by about 0.01mm and concrete by 0.001mm, an insignificant difference given that layered on top of that are your tendons, muscles etc doing their work, so the important thing is good running form, land under body, use returned energy for higher backlift and less quad lift etc

The tiring thing about concrete is most likely that it is usually dead flat, which results in repeated muscle usage.

So do a good component of running on the actual surface and with actual shoe.

The less than and greater than sign will cut off your post

Salming Greyhound. It was designed for hard surfaces.

It's only an html tag if it starts like one. You can end it like one if it's not really one. >

Thanks

Hope the info was worth it :-)

Interesting question. I would choose Adidas Ultraboost 19. One of the several reasons for that is the knit upper in it has a second-skin fit for adaptive stretch and support while running. Therefore, it would be convinient for you to run a marathon on a concrete sidewalks, if you had this kind of Ultraboost. You can check out many other types of ultraboosts here https://www.walk-inmycloset.com/collections/adidas
