What should I be looking for when trying out running shoes?...

Speed shoes are for that, speed. They usually have some form of carbon plate in the sole. They will feel awful if you're running below a certain pace, but feel great once you surpass that speed threshold.

You need to select a shoe that works for you. I don't know your fitness level but a good start is finding a good, durable daily trainer. These work well for low intensity and slow speeds that can withstand distances up to 20 or so km. You could use them for sprint sessions if you want.

Some shoes need a break in period to really get to know how the shoe will perform. Some are good right out of the box.

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

A good way to research shoes is to watch YouTube channels that review the shoe. There are several good ones that conduct a thorough review.

If you're starting out, you can get away with daily trainers until you think you need to add more gear into your training.

Then you got the race day shoes. If you're competitive and wanting to hit a personal best, then getting a super shoe will help with your performance. These are really expensive. They're not made with durability in mind.

Fit. Heel lock. Bounce. Cushioning. Rebound. Energy return. Responsiveness at different speeds. Support.

What should I be looking for when trying out running shoes? Local store lets me try the shoe and jog up and down the block, but they mostly feel the same to me. Is there some feeling or anything else specific I should be looking for?
