Cheers!
I've thought the same about those shoes... they do seem to make a bit difference and it is an issue the more 'tech' you can cram into a small space.
Shoes aside I can really recommend doing intervals - I've done quite a bit of speed work (400s/ 200s/ 302010s) and I hit 3Ks today and just felt 'I'm running faster and it feels natural'- it was defo the intervals. I overheard another guy who got a PB (18 mins something) saying the same thing.
It's all about the intervals. Less is more.
In the meantime, walking is good.
That must be one hell of a cold!

I have been doing more intervals in the last few months and I see improvements. Will get back on them soon. This is my worst cold in a while. It's been a week and still feel like shit, but may be back at work on Monday.
Sounds like you've had it pretty bad!
Here's hoping you're back on track by next week, don't force yourself though!
