The positive aspects of wearing lightweight running shoes are ample and varied. First of all when running a contest of any distance a weight difference of only a few ounces can make a big difference. For regular weekly running a lighter shoe is absolutely going to make things quite easier. Without a doubt, there are downsides to putting on super lightweight shoes that I'll examine, but for the most part lightweight running shoes are amazing!

In racing, any simple favor you can get over your competition will be a aid. Whether it's a track meet, an off-road race, or a marathon, the weight of your shoes will play a big part in how fast you can finish. A lightweight shoe will give you extra energy and will make the run seem easier by making your feet feel like walking on clouds. Making a switch to a light racing shoe is a great way to slice a few seconds off your PR race times.

In your regular runs, a lightweight shoe can be good. Think of your hardest workout of the week. It's probably a speed workout of some kind, maybe a ladder workout? Yeah, now picture that exercise with lighter shoes. You'll be running faster and smoother than ever with a newly-built pair of lightweight running shoes.

Most of the really lightweight running shoes don't support your feet too well. So, if your feet have a tendency to over or under pronate, you'll want to make sure you're still donning a shoe that will furnish a good amount of support. The worst thing that could happen is getting hurt because you wore the wrong shoe.

You'll probably want spikes of some kind for a track meet, while a wide range of shoes are available for longer road races. For your long distance preparation runs, you'll have a desire to ensure you've got a good combo of ample support without adding a lot of extra weight. Your speed workouts?. You may desire to acquire some super-lightweight training shoes specifically for that endeavor, or you could just wear your normal trainers. It's totally a matter of personal preference.
