Description

How is new shoe technology changing our sport? Are athletes training harder and longer as a result of better shoes? Is this a new era of racing? Can we compare today's race performances to those before the dawn of Vaporfly Technology? In this episode of 'Conversations About Running', Callum, Gavin & Hugo get stuck into conversation about the pros and cons of carbon fibre plates in shoes and discuss the changes this technology is having on our sport. Hugo talks about the difference between the trainers he raced in as a top class athlete 'back in the day' and the injury issues these types of shoes have caused for many athletes over the years. Surely introducing better trainers is an over all positive for all levels of athletes? What affect is it having in the world of professional running? Join us for episode 5 to hear our thoughts!
