Doctors of Running Podcast

Today we welcome Guest Reviewer Andrea Myers to the roundtable! Andrea is a Doctor of Physical Therapy with 15 years of experience and a board certification in Orthopedics. She gives insight into the crossover between running and cycling given her history as a professional cyclist and current role as a bike fitter. We all then dive into the topic of minimalism and maximalism. We discuss possible pros and cons of each, with a special focus on how/when each may be used in the special populations of kids and the elderly. 

Today Matt gives a preview to the Adizero Avanti and we discuss who may need track spikes in the first place. We then talk about what we can and cannot learn from our outsole wear pattern. Finally we talk about the ranging stability within super shoes and which may be appropriate for those with certain stability needs. *None of what is shared in this podcast should be a substitute for medical advice*

In today's episode we start with a quick update on our own training and a mini review of a shoe Nathan has been testing the last few weeks. We then dive into the anatomy of the plantar fascia, what may cause pain/injury, and what do to about it. NOTE: a hallmark sign of plantar fasciopathy is pain with the first steps in the morning (was not said in the pod, but is a really helpful sign/symptom to diagnose). Finally, our team talks about a very interesting topic: how does body weight influence what running shoes we buy? **This podcast is not a substitute for medical advice and is educational in nature. If you are having pain, please contact your orthopedic PT or physician**

In today's episode we are starting a new trend where each episode is inspired by you, our listeners. We are taking your questions and diving deep into each topic. Today we dive deep into ankle sprain classification/rehab, discuss the likelihood of shoes being a causative factor of pain and how you can tell, and consider who may actually benefit from "super shoes" (as well as what "benefit" really means). Also, you'll get a sneak peek at a shoe that Founder Matt Klein is currently testing.

In this episode we dive deep into Mizuno’s new offering, the Wave Rebellion. It features a new Pebax foam (Enerzy Lite) and a glass fiber plate. We talk about who will most likely do well in a shoe like this. Before that, we simply highlight some other gear/nutrition that we’ve been regularly using on our runs.

Matt and David dive into all the new Marathon racing options that came out this year. They talk about their personal favorites and what might work best for certain types of runners.

We've loved our growing audience and all the questions coming our way. The sad thing is that we are limited in our time and aren't able to get to all of them. therefore we are starting the DOR Mailbag. We are taking your questions and creating a running list. On each podcast, we will address at least one mailbag question. This is a special episode where Matt and Nathan round out our first set of mailbag questions.

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.
