Yeah will look into it, was wondering aswell do you wear different shoes for training compared to race day? Might get some basic running shoes for now as I need new pair then perhaps invest in some Nike zoom alphafly's as the time comes closer, from what I've read they have pretty good reviews.

I have heard good things about the Nike zoom alpha flys as well. I’d recommend you get a training pair and a second pair as you’ll likely wear them out in a year training for a marathon. Typically 300-500 miles is the life of running shoes.

I got the Hoka Clifton 8s and they’re thick and cushiony if you’re a heavier musclular build vs the stick runners.

it is said you should replace shoes every 300-500 miles of running. you still want time to "break in" to the new shoes, you don't want a rude awakening where you aren't used to your shoes and start getting unusually sore because it feels different on your feet and ankles, even to the point where it might change your running form slightly leading to some bad shin splints

a simple list of tips.

1. buy the best shoes that you can afford NOW
2. get used to running for hours at a time, 1,2,3,4
3. vaseline on the nips to prevent bleeding
4. design long music playlists for at least 4 hours
5. buy good socks
6. download the training programs which has daily runs and long runs on Sunday to build up to that distance.
7. getting used to running for hours takes practice.
I live in DC and did the Marine core many years ago and every tip i gave i personally used, 4 hours+/- at about a 10 min mile which is easy and doable for most "joggers" of average weight.

Everything hurt after it for a couple days, but the worst was the inside of my thighs which looked like hamburger.

Buy good shoes.
all of that is lies, negged
