Answer 1

You should train in the shoes you're going to race in, otherwise you're just asking for blisters and that won't help anything.

Answer 2

You should train in racing flats, which would likely be far lighter than 10 oz.! See my earlier Yahoo! Answers, um, answer for the rationale behind this recommendation:
