Preparing for any physical test in a competitive examination process undoubtedly requires prior training. Of all the tests that may exist within the oppositions for police or firefighter, it is likely that the most imposing is the endurance test. Although it is usually performed over different distances depending on the organizing body, the most common test is usually the 1000 meters.
A test that requires, in addition to training planning, a correct choice of running shoe to be used during the test. Taking into account that it is a test of a short duration, between 3 to 5 minutes depending on the level of the candidate, we must be able to find the model with which we feel more comfortable and can help us, in part, to scratch a few seconds to our final mark.
Carbon plate yes, carbon plate no
We have to keep in mind that today there are dozens of sports brands and miles models, so the choice is not an easy task. However, it is advisable to choose a model that stands out for its reactivity and lightness, leaving cushioning in the background. Nowadays, with the appearance of running shoes with a carbon plate, the range of options has increased.
The positive aspect of the inclusion of the carbon plate is that the shoe increases its levels of responsiveness and energy savings in each stride. On the other hand, the negative aspect is that they are not models for everyone, as they are usually shoes with little stability and with great demands on the muscles and joints. Therefore, you will have to take into account your physical characteristics and your running experience to choose one type of model or another.
