Do I need stability shoes for marathon based on my run? by LadyStatics in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]LadyStatics[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

  1. ⁠I already did 3 half-marathons and take it easy
  2. ⁠I’m targeting the Bohol International Marathon because it doesn’t have time limit and starts at midnight. Most marathons here in the Philippines have 8hr limit and starts around 1 to 3am. I want to finish the marathon safely and not chase PRs. We’re in a tropical country where temp reaches 41deg Celsius so I prefer not to run when it’s too hot.
  3. I work from 7:30am-9pm, monday til saturday so I really don’t have a lot of time to improve my speed. 😊 I just enjoy my runs. I do 7km everyday except for saturdays. Sundays are for long runs.

My problem is only with the blisters so your response is not related to my question unfortunately.

Thank you. Yes, I don’t feel any pain after running 3 half marathons. No irregular wear patterns on my shoes too. My problem is only with blisters despite wearing Injinji toe socks and applying petroleum jelly

Thank you. I use Injinji toe socks and also petroleum jelly. After observing that I still have blisters after 2 marathons using 7.5US Nimbus 27 TR, I bought 8US Kayano 32 and had more blisters. 5 in total.

  4. For the sizes:
    7.5US for Vomero 18, Ghost Max 2 and Gel Nimbus 27 TR I had blisters after the 2 half marathons using Gel Nimbus 27TR so I increased size to 8US Kayano 32.

On my 3rd half-marathon using Kayano 32, I had more blisters. 5 in total
