Intermediate Marathon Shoes

Intermediate marathon shoes fall into two main types for race day shoes: plated or un-plated super trainers.

Super trainers make use of premium performance foams in the midsole. This makes them bouncier and more responsive than daily trainers and super trainers with added plates increase propulsion too.

Super trainers can be more stable and forgiving than an all-out super shoe if form does start to fade towards the end of the race. Stiff, carbon-plated super shoes can feel uncomfortable to wear at lower paces, making a super trainer a great option if you're still working towards maintaining and advanced pace. 

Super trainers are great for doing speed training and longer fast runs in as part of a shoe rotation due to being more durable than race-specific shoes too.
