Super Shoe Drama

Have you heard about this yet?​
TL;DR: A Puma sponsored sprinter is suing the brand claiming their super shoes changed her gait and caused permenant damage.
I've been nerding out with some friends and believe there could be more to the case and we just don't know all the details (yet, hopefully).
Or maybe it is a straightforward case which will prompt brands to put warning labels on their shoes... similar to McD's putting "May be Hot" on coffee cups.​
My friend shared this idea on her podcast and I highly recommend checking it out.
​


Until they do, when should you wear super shoes?
  • Races
  • Hard workouts (tempos, intervals, hill repeats, etc)
  • Potentially long runs that will include some speed or focused work in it
Why?
  • They are pricey AF and not meant to collect miles
  • They return energy better than your average bear shoe... so you can train harder & faster (heck yes!!), but can also cause you to over do it. My PT friend says she has seen a high uptick in both lower and upper leg injuries with those using super shoes. Fun. We all compensate in different ways.


And now an exercise form tip.
If you have any suggestions, please let me know!
​


Don't hold your breath during core exercises.
You should train your body to be able breath as your core squeezing or holding.
Because you kind of need to know breath, run, and not have jelly core all at once, right?
