Listen "Why Your (Carbon Plated) Running Shoes Feel Great, Until You Can’t Run Anymore"
Episode Synopsis
You’re on here because you’re in pain.
You don’t think you’re ever going to get fixed.
You probably call yourself “broken” more than you realize, and you also more than likely think that’s normal.
That is all hogwash.
For decades, a belief system has been built that “running is a part of pain,” and it gets validated every time you wake up, put your feet on the ground, feel last night’s run, and someone tells you, “That’s just running. Get this sneaker, you won’t feel that pain.”
In this episode, I start pulling that entire belief system apart.
I talk to you as a Sports Biomechanics, Athletic Injury Correction and Conditioning expert, and as someone whose entire program was built on my own injured body after getting hit by a truck. My body is my science book. I’m a corrected person, which means I’m a prevented runner. My body screams the moment a sneaker forces me into dysfunction… and whether you realize it or not, yours is doing the same thing.
What We Dig Into (Without Spoiling It)
Why you’ve been giving your sneakers all the credit, but never any blame
How innocent conversations about “what shoes to buy” quietly turn into injury-causing ideology
Why simply changing into the “hot new carbon plate” and feeling less pain should actually alarm you
How the running community’s “pain is part of running” culture teaches you to mask feedback instead of listen to it
Why I call your sneakers your apparatus as a runner, just like a racket, a bat, or a golf club is for other sports
The moment in our new docuseries where you see my body react in real time to what’s on my feet
I’m not here to sugarcoat anything. I’m here so you can still run 20–30 years from now.
Why You Need to Listen + Watch
If you’ve:
Swapped shoes and thought, “Wow, this fixed my pain”
Woken up the next day with a new pain somewhere else and never connected the dots
Been told by well-meaning friends, co-workers, or the internet that pain is just “part of being a runner”
…then you need to hear this episode and see the visuals that go with it.
I’ve taken everything you’ve been hearing on this podcast for years and expanded it into a full docuseries, where I show you, with my body, what’s really happening when a sneaker is allowed to control your movement.
