Re your comment about all the help you can get, would you be happy to chemically dope, or give everyone not on springs a 4% headstart?
Running was the simplest thing. It was never about the kit. Now it is. Times pre and post the vapourfly cannot be meaningfully compared.
Cycling, skiing and climbing have always been about the kit, to greater or lesser degree. (Though I would say rubber kneepads are a much better comparison than down turned shoes)(and note that aerobars are not permitted in road racing)
