Can new tech in your shoe change the way you run for the better?\\xa0 \\xa0

We are all used to our watches telling us how fast (or slow) we are, counting our heartbeats, our footsteps,\\xa0 or even telling us how much recovery we need (or trying to anyway!)

But now there is technology that can tell us even more.\\xa0 New wearables can give us some clues to our own unique running form so we can better understand where we can improve.

My guests today are here to tell you all about it.

Dr Grant Trewartha is the Head of Biomechanics at the wearable technology company NURVV.\\xa0 His research into the technical aspects of endurance running helped shape the development of a unique shoe insert called NURVV Run. Prior to his time at NURVV, Grant spent 16 years at University of Bath, leading significant research about injury prevention for rugby players as well as research on the biomechanics of sprinting and tendon mechanics during running.\\xa0

Anna Kosciuk is a Sport Scientist and a Footwear specialist and is also a part of Biomechanics team at NURVV.\\xa0 Anna\\u2019s expertise is in learning how we can prevent running-related injury risk factors and maximize running performance through exercise and footwear. Prior to NURVV, she spent 4 years working in a specialist footwear lab where she performed detailed running gait analyses to match runners with the most perfect pair of running shoes based on their individual motion biomechanics.\\xa0

So we get into the nitty gritty about shoes, running form, and how wearable technology works and where it\\u2019s headed in the future.\\xa0 Tons of great info in this one.

And in case you are wondering, no,\\xa0 we are not sponsored by NURVV and I have never tried the product.\\xa0 I just think that this kind of tech is interesting and could be very relevant to helping runners become better without having to go to a fancy lab.\\xa0 But I did reach out to see if I could snag a discount code if you are interested in trying it:

This week\'s show brought to you by:\\xa0

Perform from the Amino Company. Perform is an amino acid based formulation that I simply add to my water bottle during my run. It tastes great and is easy on my stomach.\\xa0

Clinical studies have shown that Perform helps improve endurance, reduce fatigue, and increases muscle protein synthesis so you recover faster after the run. Check out the research here: https://aminoco.com/rttt\\xa0

If you\\u2019re interested in learning\\u202f more and giving Perform a try, we\\u2019ve got a special offer for you where you can save 30% by using the code RC30. Just head to: https://aminoco.com/rttt and use the code RC30 at checkout to save 30%\\xa0
