Yesterday was Throwdown Thursday. Friends and I gave Thursdays this moniker a couple years ago when we were nike air max up black white sneakers for women for weekly speed workouts. I’m happy to say I returned to the track—albeit, by myself—yesterday morning to kick off my own Throwdown Thursday.
And last night, here in Boulder, Colorado, the adilette sandal 40 core whitescarlet true orange had runners of all ages and abilities throw down for a 1-mile race around the streets of Boulder. The winning men’s time was a smoking 4:13 (James Hatch) and the winning women’s time was 4:55 (Chantelle Dron). Peyton Dailey, a little gal, won the kids ½-mile (go, Peyton!).
Naturally, I stared at people’s feet, checking out what folks were wearing for their one-mile efforts. What I saw was sneaker trends autumn winter 20 21 the fashion trend forecast: super-light racing flats, lightweight trainers, and more traditional training shoes (the elite men and women in the Open Waves almost all wore racing flats, while the Friends and Family Wave showed more of a mix). Which made me wonder: Whether you’re racing across one mile or 26.2, what percentage of you folks out there wear different shoes come race day?
How many of you wear racing flats, or a lighter, speed-inspiring shoe when you toe the starting line? Or do you wear your one pair of running shoes, regardless of what you’re doing?
I realize this question could potentially bring up a “haves and have-nots” issue, and I’m sorry for that. Shoes are not cheap these days, and having more than one pair of running shoes in your quiver is indeed a luxury.
But I’m still wondering: Does the weight and "raciness" of your shoes matter to you, come race day or when you just feel orange going fast?
