Go to the top of a hill. Put on shoes. Point your shoes downhill but don't move your feet. Your speed will be 0.00 m/s.
Now put on rollerblades. Point your feet downhill but don't move them. Do you notice a difference?
Brilliant insight of the day: Wheels are not the same as soles made of foam.
Ha ha, what an absolute clown but I love it!!
Apologies - I didn't realise that we were talking DOWNHILL marathons here but I guess that's EXACTLY the type of person whose going to have no problem wearing a pair of Vaporflys as well to PR in. Ha ha ha, I'm arguing with a downhill Boston qualifier about ethics...
How about you go down to your local flat park and put on your rollerblades. Point your feet in whatever direction takes your fancy but don't move your feet. Your speed will be 0.00 m/s... Now tell us the difference between standing on the spot in a pair of rollerblades and standing on the spot in a pair of Vaporflys.
Moran!
