they're shoes with either a full carbon plate on the sole or carbon rods. The famous ones are Nike alphafly. They basically conserve energy when you're running so that you can run faster for longer. Some of these shoes are banned at elite level because they give you an edge and have allowed the world record marathon time to be 2hrs 35s.

I blew the budget and booked myself a trip to Athens! I'll be going from 9-13 May, I'm really looking forward to it.
We loved Athens we went last weekend do you have a hotel booked as I'd really recommend where we stayed
Thank you so much, dizzy, but I have booked a hotel! I'd be very grateful for any tips, though, as I didn't know anything about the city, or where to visit.
We just used the metro from the airport to our hotel €9 each
We got around by foot or metro
Mr D booked the hop on hop bus that also came with either 5 or 7 entry tickets to various sites think it's was €60 each. It didn't include the archeological museum that was €12 each
We mainly wandered and ate and stumbled across things
Eatery was fab we really enjoyed the food
We went to kookland dessert place that was a site to see and had a coffee and cake there - not cheap but you're paying for the uniqueness of it

I have been given a bonus at work so it’s bumper pay day treats for me. I think I’m going to get some new shoes, I’ve booked a massage and am also going to buy a dry food dispenser that you can control with your phone (technically for the cats but also useful for me).
