anyone will tell you training in a racing flat is ridiculous. First, you lose the affect it is intended for. That is, it is a "racing" flat. It is to give yourself a lighter and thinner shoe for races. Second, they have little if any support. They break down faster. Why? because they are not made for everyday training.
And finally, the guy who said Brooks Beast??? Hello!!!
They are the farthest thing from a flat. The farthest.
Tell me, what other sports train in one type of shoe, but then compete in a radically different one?
'Breaking down' has no place in the equation when you're efficient and your muscles are adept to handling the impact. Plenty of people are born, live and die without wearing shoes and most get by their whole lives like that.
