A Case Against Supershoes
Briefly

I had two weeks of training post-injury behind me on race day. Even so, I ran a time within one second of my finish at the same event a year prior - a time when I was strong and training well.
Clearly, my training lends poorly to racing 5ks if I was within striking distance of my past result while wholly unprepared. That makes sense. I train for ultras.
I left the race with mixed feelings - grateful to run fast but absent the satisfaction I typically feel after a race. It’s not the time itself that matters to me.
Supershoes are running shoes that propel the foot forward, often through some combination of buoyant foams and carbon plating. They are fast and responsive.
