My weight is also 160. I've run long-distance races before, but I'm not fast. Later, I heard that if you run for too long, your body muscles will specialize in running, your body will become thinner, muscles unrelated to running will degenerate, and your explosive power will weaken. What I pursue is physical strength and explosive power. Now I control the distance as far as 10 km, generally more than 6 km, at most twice a week, emphasizing speed and skipping training.

As for running shoes, I didn't spend much money on them. It's all made in China, and it feels very good. I used to run once when my toes were black, and I ran once.

Finally, fitness is not about what kind of equipment you have, but about your actions and persistence.
