Funny thing. When I look at shoes from the 1930s, I am shocked at how runners were able to run so fast and so far. In the 1970s, when I began running, shoes were obviously better than the 1930s-1960s. What about now? I showed a young athlete my 1974 training shoes and they were shocked that I could run. Evolution continues….
