PEP #11 - Nontraditional Running Shoes Reviewed Pure Energy Podcast

"What kind of shoes do you wear?" That's a question I get all the time from new and not-so-new triathletes and runners, so this episode is devoted to reviewing the nontradtional shoes that I wear, as well as the other brands and types of running shoes that are relatively new or just lesser known on the market, such as Hoka, Skora, Newton, Altra, barefoot shoes, and the surprise dark horse of running shoes. Includes a primer on traditional shoes as well as things that impact your running more than shoes.
