lol. Okay. By virtue of these shoes being less shitty than other shoes and wasting less energy it negates your efforts?[/quote]

I might have come off too aggressively not my intention.

Not negating your effort, it’s just that the same effort it takes for a 3 hr marathon can now be a couple minutes sub 3 with the same output. Shoes have now become part of the PR equation

It’s like wearing those banned swimsuits for a time check, your pr is 1:30 but then you put on the suit and magically swim 1:26 for 100m or a more exaggerated example comparing times with or without fins. The equipment is now part of the performance conversation, which in running wasn’t really the case before.

It’s a new era.[/quote]




So I assume you run barefoot
