would be funny if runners develop a stride optimised to harvest the energy from the foam

  That already happens automagically and subconsciously. Your body is lazy, so it tries to use as little energy as possible for what you force it to do, and with movements repeated thousands of times, over time, it will find a way to do them in a most energy-efficient way. And if you always run in the same shoes, it will eventually find a way to optimize for those shoes. Unfortunately, the process is blind, and sometimes it finds a local maximum while limiting you, and sometimes that local maximum can cause injuries. That's why getting a good trainer to have a look at your running style is a good idea if you want to start running more.
