Podcast #147: ALL ABOUT RUNNING SHOES 👟✅ How to Find the Perfect Shoe✅ How to Begin a Shoe Rotation✅ Carbon-Plated Shoes: Should You Wear Them?.There are three categories of running shoes:👇✅ Neutral: Good for little to no ankle rotation inward (pronation)✅ Stability: Good for mild to moderate pronation✅ Motion Control: Bulkier stability shoe for pronators.There are also different stack heights and heel to toe drops in shoes that can make a difference depending on if you’re injury-prone in the hips and glutes or calves and ankles (more posts on that later this week!) 🤩.THE BOTTOM LINE IS:👇You want your shoe to maximize your body’s mechanics and help you stay healthy.HOW TO FIND THE PERFECT SHOE:✅ Going to a local running store is a great option to figure out the right shoe for you. They will have you do a series of tests and learn more about your running history to figure out what shoe is best for you. A step up from this would be a true gait analysis done with a physical therapist.Now that you have your perfect shoe, should you have MULTIPLE shoes for different runs?Many runners will have:✅ Faster, lighter weight racing shoe for workouts and races✅ More cushioned, forgiving shoe on easy recovery runs.WHAT SHOE FOR WORKOUTS AND RACES?✅ Lighter weight shoes/carbon-plated shoes✅ 6-9 oz for carbon-plated shoes no matter the brand. They are all very lightweight✅ High stack height to help propel you forward✅ More cushioning on many of the carbon-plated shoes that help decrease fatigue especially for longer races.THE FACT IS:👇You still have to do the training. Faster racing shoes don’t work unless you do.More posts to come this week all about shoes! Stay tuned 👂.⭐️ Listen to our podcast anywhere you listen to podcasts⭐️ Want to try out coaching?
