Are old school road racing flats dead? I have a pair of Asics Pirahna Sp2's in my closet from years ago--quintessential lightweight racers in my view. Well, I've started running again after years off, and come to find out, everyone is wearing moon shoes!!
A couple questions:
1) Are shoes like these basically on the way out with the advent of super-cushioned carbon-plated tech?
2) I've worn my Piranhas for maybe 5 workouts total. Am I going to do undue abuse to my 36-year-old body by racing 5ks in them this spring? Should I spend $200 on more cushion-y racers? Any luddites out there running in flats?
