Super Shoes: Can They Help You Run Faster or Are They Just for Elites?

If you’ve paid any attention to elite racing times or even had
conversations with anyone in your running group, then you know
all about “Super Shoes”.


If you’re a new runner, “Super Shoes” are the general term for
running shoes made for racing that contain a carbon fiber
footplate that adds more “spring” to each step and thus improves
running economy by reducing the amount of work a runner must do
while running at a given speed.


Coach Michael and Coach Andie discuss how super shoes have
changed the elite running landscape, but more importantly,
discuss what super shoes mean for the “average runner”.


They’ll talk about…
When should you give super shoes a try Why you should avoid
wearing them too often How much will they help (hint: everyone will
be different)

You’re going to love this in-depth deep dive on all things super
shoes, plus takeaway some lessons you can apply to your own
running!

This week’s show brought to you by:


Delta G
Ketones have been one of the most well-researched chemicals when
it comes to endurance performance. Their only downside is that it
typically takes 2 days of fasting for your body to produce them
in quantities that would help your performance


But, thanks to deltaG and collaborations from the US Military and
researchers from NIH and the University of Oxford, they’ve
developed a ketone drink that can boost your ketone levels to
those seen after 2 days of fasting in just 20 minutes. 


The academic literature on the effectiveness of ketones for
running performance is overwhelming. If you want to see more of
the research, head to runnersconnect.net/deltag

Oladance
If you’re looking for better and safer headphones while you run,
then you need to check out oladance. 


The unique design of their headphones allows you to listen to
your favorite music and podcast while running, yet still hear
everything going on around you so you can stay safe.


But my favorite part is that their open-ear-design means your
ears will never get tired or fatigued, even after 2 hours or more
of listening. That makes them perfect for those super long runs.


Plus, their dynamic driver is 3 x bigger than most headphones,
which allows them to deliver superior sound, while still being
comfortable.

your purchase.
