Running shoes with carbon plate?
When thinking of race running shoes, you automatically think of a carbon plate. A carbon fiber running shoe is known to generate speed and propulsion. That's why it seems to be the perfect shoe to win races. True, but keep in mind that a running shoe with a carbon plate offers a lot less support. For those who really run fast, carbon shoes are beneficial. But remember you can also perform in shoes without carbon plate. Read all misunderstandings about carbon fiber shoes.
The difference between a race running shoe and a regular road running shoe
A race running shoe is different from regular running shoes by different features. It's much lighter and more flexible. Mostly, they lack cushion or support. The reason for that is simple: the less features, the less weight you should carry on your feet. And that makes you run faster.
Are race running shoes good for everyone?
No. A fast running shoe (with carbon fiber plate) and lightweight character is not made for every runner. A race running shoe makes you faster, indeed, but that's only true for runners who regularly run good times. We generally take an upper limit of 5min/km (12km/h). Do you run slower, you're better off with a comfortable and stable road running shoe. The lack of cushioning and support in the race running shoe may cause complaints or injuries. A faster pace and efficient stride can compensate that lack of comfort.
