I know the feeling all too well! I'm a happy chappy really - i'd never go out my way to annoy or argue with someone - especially not hiding behind a computer screen
On the topic of racing shoes - before I was a member on here and I frequented
The Dark Side, I often read about topics such as racing shoes and more recently 'compression clothing', and all people seemed to talk about was the effect on times and results, and ultimately people saying "don't bother until you're quicker, you're only a beginner..... it won't make any difference until you're at a highly competitive level"
Having now bought racing shoes and some compression clothing, I have no idea what speed/time improvements they've brought me, but I would recommend them purely on the basis that they make me feel much better. Which in turn helps me get out and train!
I'm always inspired to run faster once I've changed shoes; although this may be more of a mental stimulus than a physical one: I've never really thought about it that much I suppose.
