From 6 mm drop to zero (sh.itjust.works)

Hello everyone,

As the title says, I would like to move from 6mm drop to 0mm. I already occasionally run with 0mm trail shoes but I mostly run with 6mm road shoes. I saw some guides where people moved from 12 to 8 to 4 to 0. I am unsure if I can jump from 6 to 0 or if it is best to got to 4 and then 0. What do you think ?

Thanks :)

I think you can skip it and go straight to 0. You should just be careful for a few runs, because your calves will have to do more work then they used to. And don’t forget to do a proper stretching before run. I personally do a static stretch after 10 minutes of warm up.

I would rotate between the 6 and 0, slowly increasing the ratio of runs with the 0.
