The fastest running shoe isn’t always the fastest shoe for you. On this week’s episode of The Amazing Runner’s World Show, Aly and Jeff discuss why your shoes might be slowing you down. In the previous episode, we talked about how running slower can make you a faster runner.
Jeff is Runner-in-Chief for Runner’s World and the director of product testing. He has tested and reviewed running shoes, GPS watches, headphones, apparel, and more for nearly two decades. He regularly tests more than 100 pairs of shoes each year, and once had a 257-day streak running in different models.
Jeff can usually be found on the roads, racing anything from the mile to a marathon, but he also enjoys racing up mountains and on snowshoes. When he’s not running, you’ll probably find him hanging from a ladder making repairs and renovations to his house (he’s also director of product testing for Popular Mechanics). Aly is the Director of Content Hype at Runner’s World.
She started running over a decade ago and has run 8 marathons, plus hundreds of shorter distance races. When she isn't running, she loves watching reality competition shows, reading and curating the perfect Taylor Swift playlist.
