from The RunSensible Podcast Hosted by runsensible

Ep - 078 of the podcast is now live and available for download on all platforms! In this episode, we dive headfirst into the fast, foamy, and fiercely competitive world of super shoes — the carbon-plated racing marvels redefining what’s possible over 42.2 kilometers. From Nike’s record-breaking Alphafly 3 and adidas’s ultra-light Adios Pro Evo 1, to bold challengers from Asics, On, Hoka, Saucony, and Puma — we break down which brands are dominating marathon podiums right now, and why. Host [Your Name] also rewinds the clock to trace how the conversation about technology in sport began — from Oscar Pistorius’s 2008 CAS case to the carbon revolution shaking up today’s running scene. Whether you’re chasing a BQ, eyeing your first marathon, or just obsessed with performance innovation, this is your 2-minute masterclass in how super shoes changed the game — and what the winners are wearing next. 🎧 Stream it now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your long runs in.
