We’re excited to announce that we’re re-launching the Sweat Elite Podcast! We explain why in the intro of this episode before discussions the hot topic of the Nike Vaporfly’s – the racing shoe that has taken the running world by storm over the last couple of years.

Germany’s Phlipp Baar (2:16 Marathoner) joins Founder of Sweat Elite Matt Fox to discuss the topic in detail. Also discussed on the episode is a bit about Philipp’s training and the way he has handled some injuries of late.

The Nike Vaporfly’s have been worn by a very high percentage of the top 10km-Marathon times recently, including by Eliud Kipchoge and Brigit Kosgei in breaking both the mens and womens Marathon World Records in the last 2 years.

In the intro and outro of this episode, we mention the Sweat Elite Kenya Running Experience taking place this January. Find out more about this by clicking here.

Stay tuned to the Sweat Elite podcast – coming up soon are episodes about our experience attending the INEOS159 Challenge, as well as an episode on how to get out of a “Mental Rut” (a common issue runners experience when they stagnate in training and racing) and enjoy running again.
