I -think-. These running flats make something for a difference.
With no training (honestly, I've done bugger all running), I've pulled 30s off my 5K and 120s off my 10K PBs and the only real difference is the shoes. They're last season (SS11)'s Saucony A3...
...and they weigh nothing at all. That's not where the big win comes from (for me, for now), though. It's the lack of hugely built-up heel, which forces me to strike mid-foot to front-foot and not with my heel. You just can't heel strike in these 'cause it jars your foot, ankle and knee and there's instant feedback of "Bad" to your brain so you stop it pretty quickly.
The really good thing was that because they were last season's design, they cost a princely sum of £29.99 (list price £72).
