From 6 mm drop to zero (self.running)

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 :)

Good question! I might be wrong, but I feel that by having 0 drop I rely less on the gear and more on my legs. I was also told that it seems to reduce the risk of injury as most of the shocks are absorbed by the muscles instead of the Although I will probably have some drop for long road runs such as marathons.
