  It’s just because adults already know the answer just by seeing your shoes. We have experience children don’t. 😌

    Come now, there are legitimately shoe designs that can give you 15+% speed increase.

    It’s not all intuitive, there’s some pretty wild physics going on in some shoes

      Do you have a source on that?

      Last I heard “super spikes” can increase performance in track runners by like 2% and that’s basically it. Most of the rest of running shoe designs are based on weight and comfort but competitive shoe brands aren’t really one upping each other on a 15% margin

      They all have brands and distinct styles, though. And I’m not implying that there is or is not any performance difference in shoes; only that a lot of adults know which ones do and do not. Lotta people really into shoes. 🤷‍♂️

    But they’re not all red, so we can’t be sure. Still need to ask.

  Because we care and don’t want to see you break your hip. It’s okay you’ve slowed down a little, at your age!

  I asked one of my coworkers if their ankle weights make them run faster and everyone looked at me like I was stupid

    This is a very valid question to ask. The answer is “sorta”, but only when you remove the weights.
