Episode 8 dives into a popular topic: carbon plated running shoes! If you haven't worn them, you've likely seen the bright neon shoes at races over the past few years. Carbon plated shoes (aka supershoes) are hugely popular - but are they the right shoe for everyone? We dive into research around the efficacy of these shoes for different situations, as well as practical tips for how to use them.
