Summary

We have two interviews in today's episode. First, Dr. Dustin Joubert discusses new research on the effect carbon fibre plated "super shoes" have at slower speeds and how it differs from at faster speeds. Then Dr. Amol Saxena shares a case series of how rapidly transitioning to running in super shoes may increase the risk of navicular bone stress injuries.       IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT: -The running economy benefits of super shoes at 10 and 12 km/h, and how it compares to the previously studies speeds in the 14-16 km/h range -More non-responders to super shoes at slower speeds?  -How the observed running economy improvements translate to performance gains at marathon times in the 3:30 to 4:15 range -Navicular bone stress injuries: causes, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment -A case series of how rapid transition to training and racing in super shoes may be linked with navicular bone stress injuries -Advice for safely transitioning into running with super shoes   SHOWNOTES: https://scientifictriathlon.com/tts383/   SCIENTIFIC TRIATHLON AND THAT TRIATHLON SHOW WEBPAGE: www.scientifictriathlon.com/podcast/   SPONSORS: Precision Fuel & Hydration help athletes perform at their best through their online tools, patented Sweat Test and range of electrolytes and fueling products.

The podcast presented by Scientific Traathlon.com.

0:26.1

I'm Rose Michael, and on today's episode, we have two expert interviews related to the usage of carbon fiber-plated shoes, or so-called super shoes.

0:33.8

First, Dr. Dustin and Jobert, who has been on the podcast before, discusses new research on the

0:39.3

effect that super shoes have at slower speeds that are more relevant for the majority of

0:43.6

runners and triathletes and how these effects and the improvements in running economy differ

0:48.7

from the previously observed effects at faster speeds.

0:52.8

Then in the second interview, Dr. Amol, Saxena,

0:56.0

shares a case series of how rapidly transitioning to running in super shoes may increase the risk

1:01.9

of navicular bone stress injuries. Each of this interviews is about 30 minutes long, but I will

1:07.5

come back after the first one and introduce the second one.

1:12.5

So there will be a small interlude there.
