Defining The Hybrid Athlete










Steven Sashen is the CEO and Co-founder of Xero Shoes, a company dedicated to the design of minimal running shoes  and the belief that as close to barefoot in all we do is healthier and promotes longevity.   It is a rare opportunity to find a running shoe manufacture who refuses to bend to trendy designs in the hopes of earning more money!  Richard Diaz has long been a supporter of learning to run as our bodies were designed to function as seemingly unpopular it may be to avoid trendy fashion.  This is a conversation that may cause you to rethink your next running shoe purchase.

If Kipchoge ran BAREFOOT?  Nike had invested a fortune to bring one of their Elite runners to the finish line of a marathon in under 2 hours. Elide Kipchoge did just that!
