I’ve been meaning to change my running shoes for about three months, running in some knackered old ones or a pair of really stiff trail shoes.
I finally spent an hour in a running shop yesterday with a guy who knows his stuff and belted round my 7.5km route this morning at 4.44 per km - 18 secs per km faster than I’ve ever managed before.
There’s definitely a placebo effect ie I’ve got fast shoes so I will run fast and my HR was up slightly but the difference in feel is night and day.
