Better with Running

EP 61: Better with Running Podcast - Ft Shoe Chat with Sammy Mclean - Yarraville Running Company / Run2PB


Listen Later

Zacca and Matt catch up about their rollercoaster weeks, both hitting the same sessions as they head towards (hopefully!), Albert Park 10km. They discuss getting into some faster work, with 6 x 1km, Matt aiming to hold to the Bill Bowerman ‘finish exhilarated not exhausted’ motto.  After discussions with Brady Threlfall, their second session for the week turns up the heat with 4 x 6min (w/ 90sec surge at the end of each rep), with 2min jog recovery. Listen in for some wisdom, as Zacca discusses why he finishes off sessions with the recovery jog included. 

Run2PB coach and shoe dog extraordinaire, Sammy Mclean, jumps on via video to show off some shoes! 

Sammy shares his wealth of knowledge around:

  • What actually goes into a shoe? With a few different brand examples (ASICS, Nike, HOKA etc). 
  • What are the key specifications of a shoe?
  • How shoes have evolved over the past 5 years? Including the adjustment between racing flats and super shoes.  
  • Sammy also answers some of your listener questions, including what’s a better marathon shoe, the Nike Vaporfly or Alphafly, what’s a good alternative to a super shoe for tempo runs and how many pairs of shoes is too many!
