This is new normal. Every company will have carbon-infused shoes in the next few months. This is just how it's going to be.
Remember when all the naysayers here screamed that the Vaporfly advantage was simply Nike hype and marketing? There was one poster that almost had a stroke about the Colorado study, and how false it was. Oh, how attitudes have changed...
The shoes have existed since end of 2017, why is it the first February of 2020 that all of these people ran fast on the same race course in Japan? A lot of these people have 27:30-27:55 10k track PR's, why wouldn't they be able to run near 60 flat in a half marathon in a pancake course in Japan where they seem to be running down hill? These Japan half marathons have been fast for years, and finally more people around the world are showing up to run there.
Ryan Hall never went sub 28 on the track, yet he runs sub 60 in the half. Some of the guys from this past weekend have the previous credentials of Ryan Hall, why can't they run 60 flat?
