If
you are serious about getting the most out of your marathon
then you may consider purchasing racing flats. It is estimated that
racing flats can improve your marathon performance by between 3-5
minutes over the marathon distance.
Racing flats are generally in the 7-8 ounce weight range. The reason
for the difference in weight is that they offer less protection than
normal marathon trainers. It is for this reason that you should not
train exclusively in racing flats but generally use the flats in the
couple of weeks before your marathon race and for the race itself, in
order to remain injury free.
You should also keep a log of how many miles your racing flats have
covered and aim to replace them every 200-300 miles. Again it will take
around 50 miles to break in your racing flats and during this time you
should break in your racing flats over shorter distances to avoid
blisters.

"There
are only two options regarding commitment; you're
either in or you're out. There's no such thing as life in-between." --
