Episode 60- Thomas Do Canto (2:14 marathoner and Sports Podiatrist)

Today in episode 60 of the Run Culture Podcast I chat to Thomas Do Canto, who not only is a distinguished runner (a 2:14 marathoner & 2016 Melbourne Marathon winner) but also a highly sort after Sports Podiatrist and is one of the Directors at Walkers Street Sports Podiatry in North Sydney. In the podcast, Tom talks about how his own running is currently going, how he’s coping with COVID-19 and how his aims have changed as a result. The crux of the podcast is then spent discussing and debunking several common misconceptions/beliefs relevant to running podiatry. Tom has not only 10 years of clinical experience but a fantastic grasp of what the current evidence-based literature suggests in regards to concepts such as; minimalism, orthotics, running technique and foot strengthening. Thanks for a great chat Tom, so many runners will learn a thing or two from this, we may even ‘change/begin to change’ some conceptual beliefs!
