[QUOTE="Carmona, post: 7097417, member: 5800"] Guapo, you obviously know quite a bit about athletics, no doubting that from your posts here the last 12 months or so. Whether the shoes bring such an advantage I'm not 100% convinced. But here's the thing, a study wouldn't be that difficult. Heck, we could nearly do one ourselves!! If you could look at the times of 20 athletes with shoe/spike A, 20 with spike B and 20 with spike C and track their improvements over the last few years since they got the new footwear, then you'd have a good idea of what they bring to the table. You'd probably have an outlier or two who don't see any benefit but you'd also get a decent pattern I reckon. 3.5 seconds for 1500 at that age still seems, eh,........ suspicious? [/QUOTE]
