Shoes, Glorious Shoes!

Recently, Scott had a friend ask him in a text, "what kind of running shoes should I buy?"
Wow! \\xa0how do you answer that question with a short reply text? \\xa0One of the subjects that can monopolize a LONG training run or a ultra race is about shoes. \\xa0We all like to talk about them. \\xa0We all have our opinions and preferences. \\xa0And the stories.....we can recall races from years ago and vividly remember which shoe we ran in. \\xa0Some of us die a little when a manufacture discontinues or modifies our favorite shoes. \\xa0Who isn\'t guilty of going to the store and buying 5-6 pair of your favorites before they are gone?
We get the unique opportunity to talk to Steven Shorter, a shoe designer for Altra Running. \\xa0He talks to us about how he became a shoe designer, the process of developing a new shoe, why shoes are always changing, some trends in running footwear...opening the curtain and giving us a sneak peak to some of the new Altra models.
Make sure you listen to this podcast on a tempo run, because you might find your HR elevate a little.
Our Podcast with Golden Harper, Altra Running founder.
