Super shoes have revolutionised running since Eliud Kipchoge first laced up the Nike Vaporfly in 2016. Once reserved for elite athletes, these carbon-plated shoes are now everywhere - but are they right for you? Who actually benefits from the technology and are there any downsides? Andy, Rick, and Sarah break it all down, cutting through the hype to help you decide whether super shoes belong in your rotation.
The Running Channel Podcast tackles one big topic each episode, amongst helpful tips and light-hearted chat on the latest news in the running world. Hosted by Sarah Hartley (amateur runner) and Andy Baddeley (former pro runner) alongside Rick Kelsey (recovering runner), the TRC Podcast is friendly, jargon-free, and the perfect accompaniment to your runs.
