Welcome to the Runners Connect, Run to the Top Podcast, where it's all about learning from the best minds in the sport

so you can train smarter, stay healthy, and run faster now.

And now your host, Tina Muir.

Hello, this is Tina Muir and I would like to welcome you to another episode of the

Run to the Top Podcast. We know you love science. We know you love diving deep into topics within

the running world where other podcasts and running blogs just won't go. We even know most of you are very skeptical of the big companies.

That's why today we thought we'd go a slightly different route and I thought it would be good to talk to a professor who completed a research study on a pair of shoes that can actually increase your running economy and make you faster.

No, this podcast has not been sponsored by anyone, nor was anyone paid to complete the study.

This is just a really interesting review that was completed on a new type of shoe, not made by any of the big companies.

If you love hearing about new technologies and advances within the running world, you are going to love this. My guest today is Ken Reese. Ken is an instructor

and researcher in the School of Health Sciences at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology.

He is the assistant adjunct professor, faculty of rehabilitation medicine at the University of

Alberta. He also has a PhD in Rehabilitation Medicine.

He coaches master's athletes in endurance training

and has PRs of 257 in the marathon

and 1014 as an Ironman. Today Ken and I are going to talk about

What Ken learned about in his kidney and heart transplant patients in his which he tested in his lab and found shocking results.

Are you ready to learn about a revolutionary product?

I think you are. Let's meet Ken.

Welcome to the Run to the Top Podcast, Ken.

Well, thank you very much.

Good to be here.
