hi there. i was wondering what was the benefit form training in light shoes? i would imagine that if you train in heavy shoes, then once you put on your flats or spikes in a race, you would fly.

do a search for minimalism
If your body and biomechanics can put up with running and training in light shoes, you will have less injuries, compared with people who train in heavy shoes (90% of the time) and then race in light shoes.

Isn't this a no-shit-sherlock kind of statement?
what makes shoes heavy is the cushioning, and the cushioning is basically like a crutch. if you need the crutch, it will help you, but if you don't really need it, it will slow you down. In other words, if you've got good technique, switch. you'll be fine and you'll train better. if you've got bad form, switch slowly because if your body doesn't catch on and stop heel striking, you might get hurt.
you can run faster practice times and feel better about yourself. It is good to do it, part of the time, to get your legs and feet used to your racing flats or spikes.
