Isabella's first marathon
Preparation and secrets to tackling the London Marathon

Preparation: the importance of shoe rotation

For those aiming for their first marathon, gradually increasing the volume and quality of their runs is vital to avoid running out of gas after mile 30. For Isabella, we've designed a specific rotation of New Balance shoes, capable of offering protection and performance at every stage. The 1080 v15 has become her inseparable companion for long runs, thanks to the new Infinion midsole, which provides protection and the right response when fatigue begins to set in. When the clock calls for speed, Isabella switches to the responsive Rebel v5, ideal for setting a pace for her run, alternating them with the brand new New Balance Ellipse on off-season days, where maximum cushioning and a smooth transition are essential to regenerate her legs in preparation for the finish line in London.
