Listen "Ep #017 Laps of Shoe Evolutions"
Episode Synopsis
This week on The Long Run: We go Around the Track with a full Chicago Marathon recap — Kiplimo’s dominant 2:02:23 win, Feysa’s blistering performance. Plus, the Backyard Ultra World Champs pushes past 64 laps, and Remi Bonnet crushes the VK world record.
We run an eye over the shoes that ruled the marathon majors in 2025 and jump into Runner’s Science, were Elton breaks down the latest research on carbon fibre plates for recovery, exploring how plate design, placement, and curvature can influence stress, fatigue, and injury risk.
We also celebrate 50 years of running shoe evolution — from $20 flats to $400 super shoes — and finish off with our week of training.
