Welcome to the show, everyone. I'm super excited you've joined us today. We have a dynamic

main set topic that I'm teasing early because I think a lot of people out there will benefit

from this talk. We are talking running shoes, how to pick them, when to replace them, where

to buy them from, what all those drop, stability, foam, energy return, terms mean, all the big questions you might face when choosing what running shoes are best for you.

My first guest joining us today is the best guy to talk to about this.

It's Coach Jeff Raines.

Jeff has a master's of science and exercise physiology and can still throw down a sub-16-minute 5K and a one-hour

15-minute half marathon.

I don't know about you?

That's a little bit faster than me.

He's qualified for Boston multiple times and has over 30 Iron Man event finishes to his credit.

He was a D1 collegiate runner and is my absolute favorite person to talk running shoes with.

Jeff, it's your first time on the show.

How are you feeling?

I'm excited to be here.

Thanks, Andrew.

I can't wait to geek out on shoes with everybody.
