Doctors of Running Podcast

Today is our 50th episode! It's been a while since we've released a podcast, and we were glad to be back. We give an update to what DOR has been up to and then run through many questions we've gotten from you all over the last few months. 

In this episode, Nathan gives a breakdown of (most of) the new Nitro line from PUMA as they burst back into the run specialty scene. The only shoe not covered is the Deviate Nitro as it has not been tested by our team yet. Find out what he thinks would work best for daily miles, the most versatile, and where the rest fall in line.

Today we had the privilege of sitting down with Coach Dave Ames of Ame For It Run Coaching. He breaks down his coaching philosophy and answers questions from our followers (including common taper mistakes and book recommendations). He really drops some knowledge.

Today we sit down as a team to discuss the most recent initiative from Newton, which is creating biodegradable shoes to help sustainability efforts. Listen for more details! We then give our thoughts on the new Gravity and Motion 10 and the difficulties we had getting used to these shoes compared to some of the other Newtons we have tested (and why). 

We were honored to have Tony Post join us on the podcast this week. Tony, the founder and CEO of TOPO Athletic, has a rich and fun history in the sport of running and in footwear development. Hear more about his journey and how TOPO approaches footwear design today.

David Salas DPT gives his thoughts on the Carbon X2 after 100+ miles. 

Hello everyone! Today we show up clean shaven to talk all things that is  Razor. The Skechers Razor line blew up in popularity with the Skechers  GORun Razor 3 debuting their Hyperburst foam a couple of years ago.  Since then they have taken the Razor and run with it, making a plated  version, a higher stack version, a trail version, and evolving uppers  throughout. In this episode Matt and Nathan dive into all 6 (yes....6) available Razor variants that are currently available from Skechers. The beloved Razor 3 was played with to provide runners with many shoes that serve different purposes, with all of them keeping some Razor 3 DNA.

In today's episode Matt and Nathan dive into the Brooks Launch 8 and Launch 8 GTS (go-to-stability) while drawing comparisons to other high quality budget trainers that are out on the market. They discuss which budget trainers ($100 or less) exist and why some may work better than others for certain people.

This was fun. An unexpected company has produced one of our favorite elite marathon racing shoes to date. Keeping things simple while progressing foam technology and shaping, the PUMA Deviate Nitro Elite is a versatile and fun ride.

Today the team dives into the HOKA ONE ONE Mach 4, a highly anticipated performance trainer from HOKA this year. We also spend a lot of time diving into comparisons with other HOKA and other branded shoes to see where this might fit in someone's lineup.
