What is the ideal midsole height in a running shoe?

I thought this might be a timely discussion as we wade through the mountains of stuff being written and spoken about in relation to running shoes recently. For approximately 40 years, every major athletic footwear company has been building running footwear (and by this let me exclude racing flats and spike and define running footwear for this discussion as shoes designed for training purposes in relation to running), with a midsole platform with a gradient of approximately 10mm
