I'm going to buy the non-carbon soled version for longer run workouts and use these just for the shorter faster stuff.
After the du will toss some volume, then intensity at bike-only for the TT race stuff.
Wow. 30 seconds per mile is huge. I would have loved to have the super shoes when I was racing 10K. How does one not wear those shoes and be competitive?
