I'd like to complete the half in under 90 minutes and was told I could shave 10 seconds off my time wearing flats. HMMM, what do you guys think?
Would you shave 10 seconds at the risk of injury? I wouldn't. As was stated, go with what works. That said, you have a neutral foot so if you're going to disregard the advice, you're probably one of the few that could get away with it since most people have shoes that correct mechnical issues. You do not.
