Step 1: Train
A training shoe should satisfy a well-rounded routine. Feel the ground, promote a natural stride, and crush the fundamentals in the Base Model. The more you add it to your weekly rotation, the more you'll understand its rewards.
Step 2: Race
When the training is done and you're ready to tackle race day, you'll need a tool to offer a competitive advantage. We recommend a shoe with a carbon plate durring "race simulation" long runs or workouts, and ultimately, on race day. Note: Although a lot of folks find The Artist to offer comfort durring weekday runs, we promote it is a racing tool once your foot strength has been optimized durring training. All the coolest and highest performing tools should come with a "use responsibly" label in our opinion:-)
Step 3: Trail
Cruising off the beaten path, or need a road-to-trail tool? Throw the Base Trail into your rotation for cush and traction mile after mile. Note: For those looking for a training shoe to add to their weekday routine (or a softer shoe for an occasional long run on the road), this is a popular choice to pair with the Base Model for the full spectrum of training flexibility.
