Great topic. I keep my super shoes on the shelf unless for races but I do pull them out for sprints every now and again just to keep them familiar. I’ve noticed there’s a particular cadence and stride length where these shoes “feed” your step, but get out of sync and I feel like a car bouncing around pot holes with bad struts.
Wow. Probably the best material I saw lately on running topic. Congrats on combining medicine, sports and very good know how on running. Thank you very much for the information!
I really appreciate the longer discussion on this topic. Sometimes going over 2 is warranted.

I’m a PTA and I like seeing/hearing the PT side of running and mechanics of gait. 🤓 I would like more informative videos similar to this one! It gets old having shoe break downs of just stats from the manufacture and discuss looks/materials/fit.

i'm a relatively new runner and started on more traditional shoes. i got a rockered supertrainer (puma DN2) last month and agree that strength training is needed. parts of my foot/leg that i don't usually use feel fatigued at the end of runs. thank you for raising this point!

This is exactly the video I am looking for! As a new runner, running for the last 2 weeks. I been told I can’t be training in my super shoe, I only have 2 pairs right now. Endorphins pro 4 and invisible run 3. I prefer the pro4 so much more and been using it 80% of the time for my all my runs
48y old boomer here.. 1200km in Prime X since mostly March 2022 (from 6:30/km to 4 something)... not a single rolled ankle.... got a balanced board beforehand. I alternate between one pair of Adios Pro 2 (I ran 2 marathons in them in 2022) and Noosa Tri 14 for track workouts. Shift 3 (4mm drop) and Nimbus Lite 2 (12mm drop) for recovery runs. Boston 9 for treadmill.

I spent this summer exploring different super foams, high stacks, and plates and created all sorts of weird issues for myself. Spent the last few weeks in my old “boring” firm (in comparison) shoes and seemed to finally rectify the issues along with extra stretching routines tossed in. Today I dug out my pair of endorphin pros and thought why not, I’ll be careful and hold back pace as needed - and instantly took off like a big dumb animal with no thought about pace as I just wanted to fly ….the circle continues 😊

We obsess about carbon plates in running shoes and about how they might affect us but MOST people will spend less than 90 (or even 60) minutes in them per day… we should consider our footwear (or lack of) for the other 20-odd hours more carefully, maybe spending more time out of shoes. I absolutely agree about single leg balances although many people won’t need any foam, just do it in bare feet. Try brushing your teeth stood on one leg and switch legs at half way! I’ve recently switched to super-stacked Adidas Prime X shoes but have had very few e problems with stability as I think all of the yoga I’ve done (including balances) has really prepared me for the shoes

We should spend less time in shoes. Can't believe that some (americans) use shoes inside their own home. Or is this just a tv-show myth? 😅
Developing PF adds another complicated layer to this because most supershoes' rocker designs helps with this, and shoes like AP3 and Superblast almost seem designed to prevent injury. Plus as you said so many daily trainers are so SOFT now, taking inspiration from supershoe tech which makes a really challenging environment. This Makes shoes like Brooks Hyperion Tempo or Adios 8 interesting to me as they're the few minimal, firm shoes still out there.
First of all thanks for great content I really enjoys all your content. I have a question. You mention that new runners should be aware of running in carbonated super shoes due to effecting running form and technique (can't remember if it is this video or in the podcast - sorry). It really sounds reasonable, my question is when should a runner consider owning a pair of carbon shoes? When do I know when I'm ready for these shoes? Again thanks for great content.
Great info and points. Was using the Hoka Mach 5 as my daily and then picked up the NB SC Trainer for the last part of my marathon training. I love the Mach 5 but honestly putting it back on after using the SC Trainer...it just felt dull.

@@DoctorsofRunning I'd like to know if you guys have done an in depth look at injuries and super shoes as well? Going from a Mach 5 or NB Rebel 2 on most days to running some tempo/race paces in the NB rc elitev2/nike vaporfly 2 really aggravated some posterior tibialis and achilles tendon problems for me.
I concur with the fear of getting spoiled by superfoam shoes. It took me about a year to "step-down" from PowerrunPB in the Endorphin Speed to a more traditional trainer like the Asics Novablast 2

Hi Matt, thanks so much for the video, I learned so much! I was wondering how often you'd recommend the strength exercises? Is it a 2-3x or daily goal? If it's 2-3x, should I do them on my recovery or workout days?
@DoctorsofRunning

Ben! 2-3 times per week is the most you need if you are actually working hard enough
having had at least 4 calf strains in my life i appreciated all the info. Am i entered? 😎
I always did my easy/everyday runs in some iteration of the Adidas Solar Glide and my speed work in the Bostons. I started using the Prime X for everyday and the Adios 3 for speedwork. I tried switching back to the others and now I cant imagine how I could have run in them. LOL They are bricks in comparison.
Very good stuff. I noticed at mile 18 of the marathon my legs feel wrecked from super shoes whereas in the old escalante racers my legs are fine. While I have been doing hip exercises and single leg deads, I have been skipping pistol squats. What kettlebell exercises do you recommend? What power exercises do you recommend? Looking to get faster.
@DoctorsofRunning

Eric! Keep it simple! I am a huge fan of heavy kettlebell single leg deadlifts and single leg squats. The newest addition has been single leg squats with multidirectional reaching (reaching the non squatting foot forward, posterior lateral and posterior medial, basically doing a Y balance test) to further challenge stability
I used to run all my run in Adios boost 2, from recovery, speed session, long run, and even finish my first full marathon in it 9 years ago..now that I coming back into running in the last 2-3 months..i trued Novablast 3 amd Endorphine speed 3, my right foot landing become inconsistent, wobbly, mostly all over the place..I never had this problem in the past…makes me kinda skeptical with the higher stack of current running shoe…
Hello - I just ran in a pair of Endorphin Pro 3s yesterday (12K), for my first run in carbon plates. Last week I ran a 10K PB in Endorphin Speed 3s, and found that I developed some soreness in the ball of my left foot, and a little in the toes. The run in the Pros definitely aggravated that. Any pointers on what to address? My assumption is that the relative rigidity of these shoes means that my feet have to work harder, and I’ve got a strength or mobility deficit somewhere.
Doesn't every daily trainer shoe also change our biomechanics? For example like Pegasus, Novablast, 1080 then the way we run will adapts to them due to differences in geometry, midsole foam, heel to toe drop and even upper fit.

Yes! That is completely true! At the moment, these new shoes are so drastically different from the “norm” that there will be different responses in them. However, even those shoes are moving toward these new technologies so eventually it won’t matter. The contrast between them though requires some caution as abrupt changes can be problematic from an injury perspective
Yep, I've gotten to the point where I just cannot do daily trainers anymore. I've been doing the vast majority of my miles in the Endorphin Pro 1 and 2, racing in the 3. I'll hit the track with the Rebel v3, but that's about it. Running in plated shoes has ruined my other ones for me, I just don't enjoy my More v4, Novablast 3, Zoom Fly 5, etc. anymore...they're just too heavy feeling, too squishy.
I try to do most of my runs in non super shoes. I used to run marathons in shoes like Nike LT, so these super shoes feel ridiculous. But ridiculously fast too. I raced one marathon in supershoes and legs felt like I had run a half marathon.

@@DoctorsofRunning probably the same old technique that's been used for decades; race shoes for race-simulation type workouts and races, and training shoes for everything else. The "supertrainers" are now a thing, like Prime-X, SC Trainer, Superblast, etc. but of that group so far only the Superblast is plate-less.
It´s time to have this discussion. "Supershoes" are not for wearing like other kind of running shoe. Thank you very much.

I trained in a carbon shoe for 6 consecutive weeks. Weakened my feet and legs to such an extent that it took me 2 hours to run 8 miles when I used my no fills running shoes. Be afraid..be very afraid. The human muscles need to be exercised or they will atrophy.
