    Have you ever asked yourself, what is the best running shoe for me? Or maybe you've asked a friend. In this solo episode we hit the ground running with some of the pros and cons of the top 3 running shoes (in my opinion).

    Top 3 Running Shoe Brands: Nike, Brooks, and Hoka

    1. Nike
      • Key Features:
        Nike leads with cutting-edge innovation, combining performance-driven technology with sleek, trend-setting designs. Their proprietary Zoom Air units provide responsive cushioning, while React foam offers a soft yet springy feel for daily runs. Known for pushing the boundaries of speed and efficiency, especially in racing shoes.
      • Popular Models:
        • Nike Air Zoom Pegasus: A versatile, all-around trainer suitable for beginners and experienced runners, balancing comfort and durability.
        • Nike Alphafly & Vaporfly (Next%): Game-changing carbon-plated super shoes designed for elite racing performance, credited with breaking marathon records.
      • Pros: Lightweight, responsive, stylish; great for speedwork and racing.
      • Cons: Can be expensive; some models have a narrower fit.
      • Ideal For: Runners seeking high-performance gear with modern aesthetics, competitive athletes, and those focused on speed.
    2. Brooks
      • Key Features:
        Brooks is synonymous with comfort, support, and durability. Their shoes are built with DNA Loftcushioning for plush underfoot feel and GuideRails support technology, which helps reduce excess movement to prevent injury. They focus heavily on biomechanics to enhance natural running motion.
      • Popular Models:
        • Brooks Ghost: A fan-favorite neutral trainer, offering a smooth, cushioned ride perfect for daily mileage and long runs.
        • Brooks Adrenaline GTS: A stability shoe with GuideRails, ideal for runners needing extra support without sacrificing comfort.
      • Pros: Reliable, comfortable, and durable with excellent support features.
      • Cons: Less flashy design; heavier than some competitors.
      • Ideal For: Runners focused on injury prevention, long-distance comfort, and consistent, stable performance.
    3. Hoka
      • Key Features:
        Hoka revolutionized running shoes with their maximal cushioning philosophy, combining thick midsoles with lightweight materials. Their signature Meta-Rocker geometry promotes smooth heel-to-toe transitions, making them ideal for reducing fatigue and joint impact, especially over long distances.
      • Popular Models:
        • Hoka Clifton: Lightweight with ample cushioning, a go-to for daily training across all distances.
        • Hoka Bondi: One of the most cushioned shoes on the market, perfect for recovery runs, long mileage, and runners with joint concerns.
      • Pros: Exceptional cushioning, lightweight despite bulky appearance, reduces impact stress.
      • Cons: Some find them too soft or unstable on technical terrain; less responsive for speed workouts.
      • Ideal For: Marathoners, ultra-runners, recovery days, and anyone seeking maximum comfort for long runs.

  • 022: Andy Neal - Life, Weight loss, Doing Hard Things, and Conquering a Half Marathon
    Apr 13 2024

    Send us a text

    In this episode the special guest is Andy Neal. Andy is a life long friend who grew up in middle Tennessee and recently moved to Knoxville. After the move, he accepted a position in sales and consulting, which gave him an opportunity to leave the machinist job he had been doing for years. About a year ago, he was motivated by a family member and decided to change his life by starting a drastic weight loss journey. There have been obstacles and challenges, but also a lot of grit and determination. He has had the support of his amazing wife, Rachel, throughout it all. In October, she threw out the idea that they should run a half marathon. She had run several, but this would be Andy's first half. They began training on a mix of running and cross fit exercises and built up to a level that had him ready to run. In April of 2024, Andy conquered the Oak Barrel Half Marathon course in his hometown of Lynchburg, TN with a time of 2:41 and completed the goal set forth just a few months prior. It truly was an inspirational and emotional moment as he crossed the finish. He stated that it was the hardest thing that he had ever done... but he did it!
