Are Carbon Shoes Actually Causing Injuries?

The RunSensible Podcast ·

2026/09/23

Are Carbon Shoes Really Causing Running Injuries? Carbon-plated shoes have transformed running but are they really responsible for more injuries? In this episode, I look at why I think we may be blaming the shoe for something that is actually more about training load, recovery and adaptation. Carbon shoes can make running feel easier and allow us to handle more load but that can also tempt us to run faster, train harder and do more than our bodies are ready to recover from. I talk about why the shoe

What do Tadej Pogačar riding Alpe d’Huez at around 7 watts per kilogram and two athletes running an official sub-2hour marathon have in common?A lot more than you might think. In this episode of the Run Sensible Podcast, I compare Pogačar’s incredible Alpe d’Huez performance with Sabastian Sawe’s 1:59:30 marathon and Yomif Kejelcha’s 1:59:41. Different sports.

What Does It Mean To Take A Rest Day?

Rest Days: Do We Really Need to Stop Completely?What exactly counts as a rest day? In this episode, I’m talking about my approach to rest and recovery, and why I almost never take a complete day off from exercise. For me, a rest day might mean getting out for a relaxed 30–45 minute walk nothing strenuous, just enough to keep the body moving and the fitness ticking over. I don’t usually plan full days with zero exercise. The only time that happens is when life throws a curveball and I simply don’t

For the past year, I’ve been focused on something that most people overlook when it comes to fitness and performance: low aerobic training.
