Trust me guys--this "extra weight" theory doesn't help you. In actuality--it hurts you.
It changes your stride length and slows your turn over. And--if you train that way--you are training your body that way. You may feel like you are going faster--but you are not.
You would do better to train in the lightest shoes possible (minimalist) and run your races in your spikes. You are TRAINING your legs with the correct stride length/duration and turnover.
If you don't believe me--try it for 2 weeks.
REMEMBER--there is a reason why college sprinters do ALL of the training in their spikes.
