I'd welcome some shoe advice - is it worth getting some light, flatish shoes for race day?
I've been running regularly for about 3 years now, 10k being my preferred race distance and almost all on road. I've been using relatively heavy Nike Pegasus (various versions) as I appreciate the cushioning, but this autumn I bought a pair of Hoka One Cliftons and love them. http://www.hokaoneone.eu/on/demandware.store/Sites-HOKA-EU-Site/en/Product-Show?pid=30609031&dwvar_30609031_color=BBLI#cgid=men-road&start=1
They are much lighter than the Nike (~220g) and have a much smaller drop (~5mm) but still have plenty of cushioning and I've since set all my best race times with them.
So the question is, is it worth me seeking out an even lighter/flatter shoe for race day, and if so any recommendations? I'd like to knock just over a minute off my 10k PB in 2015 and will need all the help I can get as I'm now well into to the super vets cat.
