The latest high-tech running shoes will literally make you faster in races, whether you're an Olympian or a weekend warrior. They might help your training sessions, too.
Y’all… Unless you’re an Olympian, it’s not your shoes that are keeping you from hitting your time goals. 99.9% of all of us would be better off focusing on our sleep, diet, and nailing our volume and workouts. But if you think that dropping $250 on “super shoes” is gonna give you an extra second a mile, we’ll, then, the placebo effect is a real effect.
My favorite example of this is in cycling. Buying a 15k carbon fiber bike, to save 5 pounds over a 3k aluminum bike when they’re overweight. They could spend 10k on a personal trainer for a year and be way ahead.

I was totally looking for the Nike ad on the same page.
