How much will carbon plated shoes improve my 4 mile?

0 Upvotes

With regular running shoes and a small circuit before, I can run a 31:30 4 mile. How much would carbon soled shoes actually help me?

I have had to take about 2 weeks off running for recovery from a strain and am healthy now. Can I expect to still be running sub 32 with about a week until I have to run it, and should I use carbon soled shoes?
