First Marathon in November - Help Me Out

First Marathon in November - Help me out

Hi everyone,

I’m running the NYC Marathon this coming November and need some guidance on shoe purchases.

For reference I’m not new to running. I’ve completed a half marathon and average about 25 MPW - I sit around a 7:30 min/mile with my best miles on race days ticking down towards 6:30. The catch is that these have all been done in a few pairs of Nike Vomero Plus.

Since I’m 6 months out from NYC, I’m looking to make an investment into running shoes to ensure I’m training the correct way. Realistically how many pairs do I need for a training block? Daily trainers and race day?

Any guidance (and shoe recommendations think I’m ready to give something other than the Vomeros a shot) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all!
