Interesting Email on Shoes in Tonight's American 5k Record Attempt - Shelby Houlihan and Karissa Schweizzer

wejo · 2020-07-10T15:03:01-04:00

Interesting email on the shoe choice for tonight's 5k. If Schweizzer wears the shoes she's been wearing she may beat Houlihan but her record might wouldn't count. What do you all think? Here's the email: Dear Lets Run, Hi my name is Scott and I am a weekly listener/ big fan of the podcast. I just finished listening to the most recent podcast and your predictions on the 5k AR attempt; this prompted me in wanting to write to you guys about something I have noticed about Shelby Houlihan's choice of spikes. If you look closely at photos of Houlihan running races, workouts, etc., she always wears the OG Nike victory elite or victory elite 2 spikes (both of which are outdated). However, other BTC members (including Schweizer) have been running in the new Nike 2020 spikes.It is interesting that the fast PRs of the BTC women in the past half year have all been in the new spikes (the zoom x dragonflys / zoom victory's). Just from an eye ball test, I believe that Shelby and Karissa are probably around the same fitness; however, I believe at this upcoming 5k AR attempt, Karissa will beat Shelby by a slight margin due to the competitive advantage of the spikes. I understand that spikes are not everything, but that is just my thought on the matter at hand. Even if my predictions are not true, I hope I was able to give you guys a small observation and something to think/ talk about on an upcoming podcast. I am a huge running shoes/ spikes nerd and I am excited to see where are sport is headed. If you guys have any comment on this topic, if would be awesome if you guys could email me back!

Not just shoe technology--improved developments in designer drugs as well.
