With the Comrades Marathon just days away, many runners unknowingly sabotage months of training during the final week. From panic training and poor sleep to trying new shoes, supplements, and race nutrition, the mistakes made before race day can have a bigger impact than the race itself. On CapeTalk and 702, fitness presenter, endurance athlete, burnout and mental fitness coach Liezel van der Westhuizen joins Africa Melane to discuss the biggest Comrades Week pitfalls and how runners can arrive at the start line physically fresh and mentally prepared. Drawing on her experience as an endurance athlete and her years commentating from both the Comrades Marathon start and finish lines, Liezel shares practical advice on avoiding comparison, managing race anxiety, navigating the Expo wisely, and getting carbohydrate loading right. If you are running Comrades or supporting someone who is, this conversation could be the difference between surviving race day and thriving on it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Carbon-plated running shoes have completely changed endurance sport. World records are tumbling. Recovery between sessions seems quicker. And for many runners and triathletes, they feel almost impossible to ignore. But are they coming with a hidden cost? In this episode, I'm joined by physio and sub-30-minute 10k runner Andy Smith to explore what these shoes are actually doing biomechanically, why we may now be seeing different injury patterns in runners and triathletes, and how to use carbon-plated shoes without breaking yourself in the process. This is a practical conversation about performance, durability, strength, and why “faster” isn't always as simple as it looks. 5 KEY POINTS 1. Carbon shoes change running mechanics - They reduce load on the calf and Achilles… but shift stress further up the chain. 2. Injury patterns may be changing - Andy is seeing more bone stress injuries in areas like the femur and pelvis. 3. Faster recovery can be deceptive - The shoes may allow athletes to handle more training volume… before the body is ready. 4. Strength is now non-negotiable - Foot, calf, hip, pelvis and core strength all become even more important. 5. Most athletes transition too aggressively - Andy recommends gradually building into carbon shoes rather than using them for every run. 3 TAKEAWAYS 1. Don't let the shoes do the work - The stronger you are, the more benefit you'll get from them. 2. Protect your weak links - Hip stability, calf strength and foot control matter more than ever. 3. Build gradually - Introduce carbon shoes slowly and strategically. KILLER QUOTE

Got feedback about this episode? Send Carolyn a textI'm joined by returning guest Waldo Cheung—physiotherapist, educator with The Running Clinic, and one of my go-to voices for the science of running—for a timely conversation on shoes, injury risk, and what actually matters most. We explore the shift from the minimalist shoe movement of the early 2010s to today's super shoe era, and whether all this innovation has meaningfully changed how and why runners get injured. Waldo shares what he's seeing clinically, how footwear may influence (but not determine) injury patterns, and why training load—more than anything on your feet—remains the biggest driver of both performance and breakdown. If you've ever wondered whether your shoes are helping, hurting, or just distracting you from the bigger picture, this one's for you.PROJECT-99 Application Form: https://forms.gle/h3fihkbD3Ag8J3UF6Connect with Waldo:Instagram: @rehabinapinchWebsite: https://runrehab.pro/LinkedIn: rehabinapinchWaldo's previous Inspired Soles episodes 209: Understanding & Managing Running-Related Pain174: Shoes, Technology, Research & Masters RunningResources Waldo mentioned: The Running Clinic Course: https://therunningclinic.com/Minimalist index: https://therunningclinic.com/minimalist-index/@thepostrunsnackConnect with Carolyn:Instagram: @inspiredsolescast or @carolyn.c.coffinYou can help spread the running love!

I love the info that Coach Claire provides especially the mental strength techniques. I recently got certified as an RRCA Level 1 coach, but have been a little time in taking steps to begin coaching professionally. I think being coached is probably the first step and Coach Claire seems like the best fit for me! Music Credits: Music from Uppbeat
"The basic idea ... we make a shoe that lets your foot sit in its normal position and doesn't squeeze the toes together. And it's perfectly balanced and kind of gets out of the way of any biomechanical alterations that other shoes might be creating." - Colby GouldThis episode is sponsored by Thrive Protein | Canadian made supplements, nutrition, and hydration to fuel all your adventures. Check them out: Thrive Protein and use the code RUNEGADE to save 20% off your order.Most runners don't realize that the shoes they wear could be quietly sabotaging their progress - and their injuries. Fooled by marketing gimmicks and grifters, we keep buying shoes that unfortunately contribute to the injuries we runners seem to run into.Colby Gould, ultra runner and the driving force behind Altra's radical, foot-friendly philosophy, reveals how ditching the high drops and narrow toes boxes can transform your run. Whether you're lacing up for long-distance trails or just trying to stay injury-free. Colby's journey from college soccer player to trail enthusiast is rooted in one simple idea: your foot was made to move naturally. After discovering that traditional shoes squeeze the toes and restrict movement, he embraced the Altra approach—shoes shaped like feet, with room to splay, zero drop, and the space to run as we were designed to.We break down the core principles that set Altra apart: the foot-shaped toe box, balanced stack height, and the philosophy of letting your foot be a foot. Colby discusses how these ideas are not just trendy and they can change lives.Why does this matter? Because ignoring foot mechanics risks endless injuries, lost miles, and giving up what should be a lifelong joy: running - whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out this episode is for anyone sick of injuries, curious about running smarter, or just wondering if your shoes are holding you back.

Kiprun used to feel like an entry-level running brand, not one serious runners would put in the same conversation as the best trail running shoes in the sport. If you're curious how a brand changes that perception and what it looks like when a running company genuinely reinvents itself this episode is for you.Josh sits down with Inky Steve to break down the shift they're seeing at Kiprun through the Kipsummit Max, Kipsummit Race, and the broader portfolio now taking shape under Decathlon. They get into stigma, design, price, performance, and why this feels less like a one-off good shoe and more like a brand returning with a completely different level of intent.This one's for runners who care about shoes, design, and where the culture is moving.Please give us a follow, rate the podcast, and give a review.Topics / Timestamps00:00 - The Rise of Kiprun04:33 - The Transformation of Kiprun Shoes09:37 - The Evolution of Trail Running Shoes15:27 - Running Shoes and Innovations18:58 - Kiprun's Kipsummit Race Shoe21:06 - The Evolution of Trail Running ShoesResources / LinksKiprun Kipsummit RaceKiprun Kipsummit MaxJosh Rosenthal on IGBorderlands.ccLa French TrailHigh TonesSubwhateverPresented by Kiprun.----Find us at Borderlands.cc and sign up for the newsletter.Want to run in the Salt Lake area?

Why do comfortable shoes in the store often lead to chronic pain years later? It all comes down to what you don't feel when you try them on.If you care about running not just this season but 10, 20, even 30 years from now, this episode will change how you look at your shoes. I break down the simple system I use to choose the right shoe based on heel drop, injury history, and long term foot health, not hype or what feels good in the store. I explain why cushioning is misunderstood, how super shoes can both help and hurt you, and why your Achilles becomes more vulnerable as you age. You'll learn how to think about low versus high heel drop, when to rotate them, and how to build a three shoe system that supports performance without sacrificing durability.Key TakeawaysHeel drop changes how stress moves through your body. Higher drops can ease strain on your Achilles, while lower drops can shift more load to your calves and feet.Super shoes can improve speed, but they wear out quickly and may switch off key muscles if used every day. Use them with intention, not as your default trainer.Fat pads, tendons, and small stabilizing muscles do not last forever. If you want to keep improving 1% at a time, you have to protect and strengthen your foundation now.Timestamps[00:54] How Much Should You Wear Super Shoes?[02:42] How Does Heel Drop Help Runners?[05:55] Use This to Find the Right Shoe Rotation[06:59] Should Runners Wear Orthotics?[08:31] Use This to Know the Right Shoe ChoiceLinks & Learnings

If you've ever spent too much money on trail running shoes and wondered whether any of them are actually worth it, this episode is for you.I sit down with Inky Steve, a guy who has tracked 44 pairs of running shoes across 6,000 miles on Strava, to get his most honest verdicts on the shoes he'd recommend to his best friend, the ones he regrets, and the models brands should have never stopped making.For ultra runners and trail runners who take their gear seriously and want real talk and not sponsored opinions.Please give us a follow, rate the podcast, and give a review.Links & ResourcesNike Next % from 2020Hoka Mafate Xgb ultrasSpeedlandPresented by Kiprun.Chapters02:06 Inky Steve's Top Five Running Shoes06:09 The Importance of Shoe Longevity and Functionality08:56 Brand Preferences and Shoe Mileage14:06 Lifestyle Shoes vs. Performance Shoes20:00 Honest Shoe Reviews24:15 Number One Trail Shoe Recommendation28:09 Hoka Mafate X Shoe for 50 Milers30:50 The Importance of Running Shoe Drainage34:09 The Ultra Running Experience38:50 The Impact of Shoe Design on Performance44:20 Shoe Iterations: What to Keep and What to Scrap----Presented by Kiprun.----Find us at Borderlands.cc and sign up for the newsletter.Want to run in the Salt Lake area?

What if the flashy carbon-plated shoe you just bought is actually slowing you down on your daily runs?Most runners think getting faster starts with buying better shoes, but the real shift happens when you understand which shoes to buy, when to buy them, and how each one fits into your training. In this episode, I break down a simple three-tier system that helps you run stronger, lower injury risk, and stop wasting money on hype pairs that don't match your current fitness. You'll walk away knowing how to structure your shoe rotation, when to upgrade, and how to use each pair with intention so every run feels smoother and more purposeful.Key TakeawaysMost runners buy shoes in the wrong order and end up wasting money on pairs they rarely use. Starting with the right everyday shoe builds comfort, durability, and consistency first.Rotating different types of shoes helps reduce injury risk because each pair stresses the body in a slightly different way. It's not about one perfect shoe, it's about having the right mix.Speed and race shoes should only come after you've built mileage and consistency. Saving them for key workouts and race day keeps them effective and extends their lifespan.Timestamps[00:26] What You'll Learn[01:16] The Mistake[01:59] The Science[02:32] The 3 Running Shoes You Need[04:15] Know What Shoe to Use on Each Run[05:12] Second Shoe You Add: The Fun One[06:32] Third and Last Shoe You Buy: The Weapon[08:11] The Brand Examples[09:03] Use This to Pick the Right Shoes for Your Next Training BlockLinks & Learnings

In today's Q+A episode, we're answering real questions from real people navigating the messy middle of fitness. From finding the right running shoes and training through injuries, to preserving muscle during fat loss and staying motivated when progress slows—this episode covers a wide range of challenges that almost everyone faces at some point. We talk about why progress often looks different for seasoned lifters, how and when to adjust your training style, and why small, realistic goals are often the missing piece for long-term consistency. We also dive into the role of nutrition during fat loss, how useful fitness trackers really are, and what to do when illness or setbacks derail your routine. If you've ever felt stuck, frustrated, or unsure whether you're doing the "right" thing—this episode will help you zoom out, adapt intelligently, and keep moving forward without starting over. As always, the goal isn't perfection—it's progress you can actually sustain.

When we think about environmental impacts in the outdoors, we often focus on things we can see: litter left behind, eroded trails, overcrowded trailheads. But some of the most significant impacts are invisible, and they're showing up in places many of us consider pristine.In episode 208 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, we're talking about microplastics in remote wilderness areas and what new research is revealing about how they get there. Joining me today is Dr. Tim Keyes.Prior to joining Welch College of Business & Technology in 2019, Dr. Keyes was employed by General Electric as a Senior Risk Analytics Manager for 22 years, and for seven years prior to that he worked as a Senior Systems Engineer at Measurex/Honeywell. He now consults with banks and nonprofits through his company, Evergreen Business Analytics, LLC.In addition to his professional work, Dr. Keyes leads adventure science expeditions with students to research air and water quality across the Northeast United States. He has summited all of the high peaks in the Adirondack and Catskill Mountains in New York, the Green Mountains in Vermont, and half, to date, of the high peaks in New Hampshire's White Mountains.Professionally, Dr. Keyes has published more than ten professional papers and holds seventeen patents related to risk analytics. His most recent refereed research was published in 2023 in the peer-reviewed Elsevier journal Heliyon. In 2025, an adventure science expedition he led received global attention for its potential impact on environmental health and backcountry recreation.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/outdoor.minimalist.book/Website: https://www.theoutdoorminimalist.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@theoutdoorminimalistBuy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/outdoorminimalistListener Survey: https://forms.gle/jd8UCN2LL3AQst976------------------Learn MoreResearch: https://adkh2h.org/wp-content/uploads/Return-to-Lake-Tear-Expedition-Report-September-2025.pdfGuardian Article: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/oct/13/microplastics-hiking-shoes-outdoor-gear Rozalia Project: https://www.rozaliaproject.orgFootwear Collective: https://earthdna.org/home/the-footwear-collective/Guppy Friend: https://www.patagonia.com/product/guppyfriend-microplastic-washing-bag/4260750820839.html

A small monthly pledge makes you a Supporter, and the Science of Sport Community awaits!Show notesToday on the Spotlight, we kick off with a chat about whether your running shoes are causing injuries (4:24). This, after a former elite runner has sued Nike for an injury she claims was the result of running in carbon fiber plated footwear. Ross and Gareth talk about the complexity of running injuries, why proving a single cause is a near-impossible task, but why the claim is not necessarily a total no-hoper, given what we know about injury and these particular shoes. We look back at some precedents, sort of, where shoe companies have settled after claims, but with some very important subtle differences.We then shift to Track and Field for a pair of stories (32:29). World Athletics crowned their Athletes of the Year this week, with Mondo Duplantis and Sydeny McLaughlin-Levrone taking the overall honours. We throw some praise Mondo's way, and not because he's virtually unbeatable and playing with the World Record. We also discuss Grand Slam Track, which is surely in its final days after the depth of its latest financial hole were announced, and Track and Field Athletics, whose supposed demise may have been greatly exaggerated (37:23)We finish with a couple of contact sports stories. Ross co-authored a paper he thinks could transform how Rugby Union handles contact training to minimize head impacts (47:40). And we spotlight listener Petulant Skeptic, whose insights on infections and hand-washing in hospitals shed light on Guardian caps and reducing concussion risk (58:39).Oh, And Finally, Ross has a tale about a mattress that will do things you simply won't believe. Or at least, you shouldn't!Links to some articlesFormer elite runner sues Nike after being injured in AlphaflysIt's not all frivolous - this paper suggests a possible injury riskInjuries are multifactorial and very complex as this Umbrella Review makes clearOne of the papers I published with Dr Nic Tam on barefoot running, showing that even 8 weeks of supervised progression didn't turn us all into smooth barefoot runners, and may thus increase injury risk for manyVibram settled - not for causing injury, but for false claimsReducing full contact training in Rugby barely reduces head impacts in elite men's players - the paper we discussedThe outstanding post by Petulant Skeptic on what infection and handwashing may tell us about Guardian caps Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of The Running Wine Mom, Samantha Cieslinski sits down with legendary footwear innovator Stuart Jenkins, founder and CEO of Blumaka and creator of Flex Footwear. From running the Boston Marathon before there were mile markers to helping brands like HOKA, UGG, and Reebok transform the way we move, Stuart's story is equal parts grit, vision, and innovation.Samantha and Stuart swap stories about running, motherhood, and mindset—exploring what it takes to believe in an idea when no one else does. They dive deep into:How 94 companies said no before Reebok said yesThe invention of air-cushioned soles before Nike AirWhy sustainability and performance must coexistHow Blumaka turns 85 percent recycled foam waste into insoles that outperform the originalsWhat it meant for Oprah Winfrey to name Flex Footwear one of her Favorite Things of 2024And why every marathon—and every dream—starts with one brave step forwardIt's an inspiring, soulful, and surprisingly funny conversation about perseverance, purpose, and the simple joy of lacing up and moving forward.Guest Links

While it's hard to be disappointed, she's hungry for more and has an exciting new brand backing her OTQ chase.In other news, friend of the pod Molly Seidel was in town and witnessed Karen's unfortunate struggle of moving a couch into her apartment. Karen shares her plans to join Molly in an upcoming stint in Flagstaff and get into the parody documentary industry.

Are your running shoes "dead" at 500 miles? Many runners lose sleep over the famous mileage rule, treating it as a non-negotiable expiration date. In this episode, we deconstruct the infamous 300 to 500-mile myth and expose how the running industry's business model of planned obsolescence has influenced this idea. We'll dive into the real science of shoe breakdown—from midsole compression to a runner's unique biomechanics—to uncover why a one-size-fits-all mileage rule is deeply flawed.Instead of a number, we give you the practical tools to know when a shoe is truly worn out. Learn the key signs of fatigue and discover why your body is the ultimate sensor for shoe health. We also explore the proven benefits of a shoe rotation for extending the life of your gear and reducing your risk of injury. Join us to change your mindset, save money, and gain a new perspective on your most essential piece of running equipment.SourcesGlobal Running Shoe Market Value: Grand View Research.

Send us a text#345 - You found the PERFECT shoe. You love this shoe. Everything about this shoe makes running SO MUCH FUN. And then it happens. The running shoe company comes out with a new model and it's not the same shoe! NOT AT ALL! It fits completely different! And not in a good way. Everything you loved about this shoe is gone! It's a completely different shoe! Why did the shoe company betray you like that? Because that's what it feels like, betrayal. This week, I write an open letter to shoe companies stating a few reasons, the above is just one, why we runners get frustrated with shoe companies.

In this no-fluff Q&A episode of The Fitness League, we tackle the real questions busy humans are asking—from mastering Zone 2 cardio to managing kindergarten chaos. We break down the truth about heart rate training (and why most people are doing it wrong), how to actually stay in Zone 2 without burning out, and why your footwear might be sabotaging your lifts and runs. We also dig into: ✅ The misunderstood science behind cumulative fatigue ✅ Cardio alternatives for parents and home-gym lifters ✅ Estimating macros for home-raised meat ✅ The pressure of parenting milestones (like kindergarten) ✅ Social media fitness fads vs. what actually works …and wrap it up with rapid-fire takes on everything from training intensity to time management.
