The new 'maximalist' running shoes.  Are they just a fad? Bev gives an overview. Mikki geeks out on the predictive factors that contribute towards a good Half Ironman time. We interview Jenna Walker, Nutritionist at Balance Nutrition, and get the inside scoop on 2 new gels that Balance are about to launch! On our Hot Property Interview this week we bring back Kelly Sheerin, Running and Cycling Mechanics Clinic Manager at the Auckland University of Technology's Sports Performance Institute.  Bevan interviews Kelly about common running injuries and their possible causes. In One Step Ahead Bev talks about his LCHF diet approach to triathlon and both he and Mikki answer 'listener questions' around LCHF and the Ketogenic diet.
