Dr. Mark Cucuzzella returns for his 19th visit (first joined us in 2012) to unpack the “pendulum swings” in running— from minimalist to maximal shoes, handhelds to hydration vests, and data-free runs to tech-heavy biometrics. He shares how his natural-footwear ethos (and Two Rivers Treads) started before the trend, why different terrains and athletes may benefit from different shoes, and why rotating options can build stronger, more resilient feet. We talk about rucking with a weighted vest as a low-impact way to boost strength, bone density, and aerobic fitness—especially for masters runners— plus the value of short, fast strides to keep leg speed with age. On fueling, Mark reframes the carbs-vs.-keto debate around individual metabolic health and race-day pragmatism: maintain blood glucose, experiment cautiously, and avoid one-size-fits-all prescriptions. Big takeaway: be an experiment of one—choose the tools, shoes, and fueling that keep you healthy, happy, and on the trails for life.

Today we talkin' BFF 2025!This week I'm sharing my experience at the 2025 Black Footwear Forum, presented by Pensole Lewis College. The weekend carried a theme that resonated deeply: own your power, define your future. Surrounded by brilliant Black creatives and leaders, I felt the weight and beauty of what it means to belong in a space built for us, by us. From conversations with artists and storytellers to insights from executives and innovators, every moment reinforced the truth that community is the foundation of progress. Dr. D'Wayne Edwards' unwavering vision continues to shape this sacred ground, a sacred space where that message becomes lived truth, pushing us to learn, build, and carry the culture forward together.Thank you for taking the time out to tune into today's show.

This episode, we're talking with Tom Dell, founder of Solemate, a company that's flipping the custom insole game on its head using iPhone scanning and 3D printing. Yeah, it's as cool as it sounds.Part 1 takes us back to the beginning.Tom calls himself a "late bloomer" to skiing, but once he caught the bug, he couldn't shake a nagging problem: making custom insoles was slow, inconsistent, and kind of a pain for everyone involved. So he decided to do something about it.Here's what we get into:The backstory – Tom's path from design engineering student to 3D scanning mountain bikes in Whistler (seriously), and how those experiences quietly set him up for what came next.The lightbulb moment – Why footbeds? Tom walks us through his frustration with the old-school process and his vision for something better: faster, more accurate, and actually repeatable.How it actually works – Tom breaks down Solemate's three-step process: scan your foot with your phone, let the software work its magic, and get a 3D-printed insole made specifically for you. It's pretty wild.The bigger picture – This isn't just about making insoles. Tom talks about building a "digital product" that's focused on data, software, and sustainability—creating something circular that performs at the highest level.Finding his thing – From that first university ski trip that changed everything to chasing gravity down mountains today, Tom shares how passion became purpose.If you're into skiing, innovation, or just hearing how great ideas actually come together, this one's for you.Find out more on IG: @solematedesign or www.solematedesign.com

What if the reason your Achilles pain keeps coming back isn't because you're not resting enough, but because you're doing the wrong type of recovery exercises entirely?Achilles pain can sneak up on any runner, turning easy miles into a constant battle. This episode breaks down exactly why it happens and gives you the clear, professional-grade protocol to finally fix it.

A forensic team plays a crucial role in investigating and analyzing a crime scene to gather evidence and information that can aid in solving crimes and prosecuting offenders. Here is a summary of what a forensic team does at a crime scene:Scene Assessment: The team starts by assessing the crime scene's overall situation, including securing it to preserve evidence and ensuring the safety of all personnel involved.Documentation: Detailed documentation is crucial. They photograph, sketch, and make written notes of the entire scene, including the layout, positions of objects, and any potential evidence.Evidence Collection: Forensic experts collect physical evidence, such as fingerprints, blood samples, hair fibers, weapons, and other items that might be relevant to the case. They use proper techniques and tools to prevent contamination.Trace Evidence: Specialized personnel collect trace evidence like fibers, soil, and gunshot residue, which can provide valuable clues about the crime's circumstances.Biological Evidence: Forensic biologists collect and preserve biological samples like blood, saliva, or tissue for DNA analysis, which can link suspects or victims to the scene.Latent Print Examination: Experts search for and lift latent fingerprints from surfaces, using various techniques such as dusting, chemical development, or photography.Ballistics Examination: Firearms experts examine firearms and ammunition, analyze gunshot residue, and match bullets and casings to specific weapons if necessary.Toxicology Analysis: Toxicologists may collect samples to determine if drugs, alcohol, or other substances were involved in the crime.Digital Evidence: Digital forensic specialists can examine electronic devices such as computers or smartphones to recover data, including text messages, emails, or images relevant to the case.Autopsy: If a death occurred, forensic pathologists perform autopsies to determine the cause and manner of death, collecting valuable evidence for the investigation.Footwear and Tire Impression Analysis: Experts may analyze footwear and tire impressions left at the scene to identify potential suspects or vehicles.Expert Testimony: Forensic experts may testify in court as expert witnesses to explain their findings and how they relate to the case.Evidence Preservation: Properly storing and preserving collected evidence is essential to maintaining its integrity for future analysis and use in court.Chain of Custody: The team maintains a strict chain of custody for all evidence to ensure its admissibility in court and prevent contamination or tampering.Crime Scene Reconstruction: Based on the evidence collected and analyzed, forensic experts may attempt to reconstruct the sequence of events that transpired at the crime scene.Report Writing: Forensic professionals create comprehensive reports detailing their findings, methods, and conclusions, which are crucial for investigators and legal proceedings.The work of a forensic team is meticulous and critical in helping law enforcement solve crimes and bring perpetrators to justice. Their objective, scientific analysis of evidence can be instrumental in building a strong case for prosecution or exonerating the innocent.In this episode we hear from form Joe Giacalone about the crime scene and how the evidence was collected at that crime scene and the similarities he sees between the investigation in Moscow and the one into Amanda Knox in Italy.(commercial at 7:45)to contactbobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Idaho murders' chilling similarity to Amanda Knox crime scene revealed by ex-cop who highlights key piece of evidence | The US Sun (the-sun.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
