The Promos running bring together discounted running shoes, clothing and accessories throughout the year, depending on selections and updates.
A promotion is a great opportunity to replace a worn-out pair at the right time, or to add a second pair.
A running shoe loses its cushioning long before the upper wears out. Its lifespan is generally estimated to be between 600 and 800 kilometres for a training model, less for a competition shoe with very light foams, but wear depends on the runner's weight, stride, and surfaces. The unmistakable signs: an outsole smoothed at the pressure points, foam that wrinkles at the sides, and unusual pain in the knees or calves after regular runs.
Recording the mileage of each pair in your watch or app helps to anticipate when to change them. A promotion on the previous version of your model is then the best opportunity to replace the worn pair without changing your markers.
Many regular runners alternate between two pairs, and a study conducted in Luxembourg and published in 2015 in the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports observed a lower injury risk among runners who used multiple pairs simultaneously. The proposed explanation is due to the variety of stresses: two different shoes apply slightly different pressures to the tissues.
Alternating also gives the foam time to regain its thickness between runs, and allows you to match the shoe to the session: a cushioned model for endurance, a lighter model for interval training. Promotions make this second pair more accessible. The models are in the men's shoes and women's shoes.
The technical textiles from the previous collection are almost always identical to the ones that replace them; only the colours change: it is on these items that the promotions are the most interesting. The textiles are in the men's textiles and women's textiles, accessories and watches are in the equipment, and youth gear is in the junior category.
The new arrivals showcase the latest versions, the brands help you find a manufacturer whose sizes you know, and the items shipped in 24h are prepared and dispatched within 24 hours. The good deals, clearance, sales, and Black Friday complete the promotions, and the whole world is on the running page.
Its lifespan is generally estimated to be between 600 and 800 kilometres for a training model, less for a competition shoe. Wear also depends on the runner's weight, stride, and surfaces.
This is often a good idea: a known version validated by your feet limits the risk of injury associated with changing shoes. Take the opportunity to have a spare pair.
Brands regularly update their models: new foam, revised upper, or adjusted geometry. The previous version remains effective and is then sold at a reduced price, making it a great deal.
Start with a breathable technical t-shirt and running socks, which reduce irritation and blisters. A lightweight windproof jacket and leggings for winter complete the outfit.
An outsole smoothed at the pressure points, foam that wrinkles or collapses, and unusual pain after runs are the telltale signs. When placed on a table, a worn-out shoe often leans to one side.
