The Run Smarter Series

Running as a low barrier to entry. All you need is shoes & you are out the door! But with running shoes being the only requirement, are you taking full advantage?&nbsp; 
Today I talk with Matt Klein from Doctors of Running & we discuss how we can use your shoes as a TOOL to overcome injuries like: 
<ul> 
 <li>Patellofemoral pain</li> 
 <li>ITB friction syndrome</li> 
 <li>Shin splints</li> 
 <li>Calf strains</li> 
 <li>Achilles tendinopathy</li> 
</ul> 
Matt has a very unique set of skills which is perfect for this topic. He has the benefit of sampling & reviewing tonnes of different shoes along with being fluent in the most up-to-date running evidence literature. You will love this podcast episode!

3.) When they lose cushioning&nbsp; 
4.) When there is wear & tear on the sole
