Why
Training for my first half marathon in March. Everyone says rotate two pairs to avoid injury. Legit or a running-shop sales line?
AI second opinion · not a vote
Buy it. Rotating pairs during a training block is common advice. Reasonable if your current pair still has life in it.

What voters said
Buy it · sub2_or_bust
Buy last year's colourway of the same shoe. Same shoe, like 40% off.
Wait · parkrun_pete
For a first half on 3 runs a week? One good pair is fine. Rotation matters more at 50km+ weeks.
Buy it · shin_splint_veteran
Legit. Rotating let my shoes dry out properly and my shins stopped screaming. Different foam = different load.
