In this episode, I spoke with John Longo about basic running principles and the development of supershoes by running companies. John works as an outpatient orthopedic physical therapist in Albany, NY. He ran collegiately at SUNY Oneonta and then had a kit deal with Nike for 1 year after college.

We also discussed:

➡️ How people can safely become a recreational runner.

➡️ How to use your heart rate to monitor running intensity.

➡️ What is the recommended foot strike pattern when running.

➡️ The paradox that now exists between the barefoot community and the super shoe community.
