This is the way to go.
If you want to have more confidence in any differences you see, you should both switch, and run in the other's shoes on the same day. And you really want to be confidnt, do an RCT, and assign shoes to everyone randomly.
This design isn't perfect. For example, you all know which shoes you are wearing, so if there's any placebo effect, it will contaminate your results. And, if there's any effect on training and thus fitness, that will be baked in by this point, so you'll miss that. And...
It's obvious -- when you compare the top 100 runners in the US to the top 100 in the world, you are comparing apples and oranges.
The 100th American time was 15:42.27, run by Amaris Tyynismaa. That is the 450th fastest time in the world. Conversely, the 100th fastest time in the world is 15:06.48, run by Meraf Bahtat. That time would put her 14th on the US list this year, between Taryn Rawling and Emily Lipari.
In other words: When you compare the 100 fastest US times to the 100 fastest world times, you are basically comparing the 100 fastest US times to the 14 fastest US times.
As I said, "apples and oranges."
If I were you, I would check it myself, running in super shoes and ordinary shoes. or would ask her team members to do such an experiment. Please share your results.
I wonder if anybody has broken 60 minutes without EPO and or super shoes?
I don't like the Alphas, and I think that Eliud would have WRed also in Vapors, but... 2:01:09 ;-)
