Hey Running Nords, it's Kyle Merber and if you're listening to this

podcast and there's a high likelihood that you love track and field. In that case I

encourage you to subscribe to the Lap count newsletter. It's my newsletter, helping fans stay up to date

with all the thrilling action

and biggest stories in the world of track and field,

delivered right to your inbox every Wednesday morning.

It's free, it takes less than a minute to sign up at the

Lap count.com and I think you'll enjoy it. Here's this week's newsletter read by

Chris Chavez. Before we get into it this week's newsletter is presented by New Balance.

Every running shoe review uses the same descriptive phrases that tend to contradict each

other to remain as inoffensive as possible. No one is willing to commit.

They're soft, yet responsive, or you can wear them for your hard days or when you want to

recover, but the best is that they're lighter and faster than ever as if any runner can actually

distinguish the differences between a single ounce or millimeter. In an effort

to do none of that let me tell you about the New Balance Fresh Foam

1080s. I like them. I like them for running 7 minute

pace for my house and for walking to my car to drive somewhere so I can go and

run 7 minute pace. There are work horses and they're about as reliable as the shoe as you could ask for.

When someone new gets into running and ask me what shoes should I get, the New Balance

1080s are my go-to recommendation because everyone likes them and that theoretical person probably will too.
