Really solid episode, thanks Andrea and Nate for digging in so much

[@dariusjs7]

Agree, this was such an informative episode

[@philipwood7673]

I would really appreciate if you could pull together a single video covering all the main questions about supershoes. I know you've covered most, if not all, of them in previous podcasts, so maybe this would just be a case of splicing together old sections of previous episodes. Off the top of my head, the main questions would be the likes of: how a supershoe works (or our best understanding at this moment in time - is it the plate, is it the foam etc.); are they beneficial for everyone; how to find the right shoe(s) for you; how to confidently identify if you respond to supershoes; how long they last/how to tell when the magic has gone; transitioning into a supershoe (either if you've never worn them before or if you're now realising you've been wearing the wrong designs)... there's probably more which I will kick myself for not including almost as soon as I hit 'Comment'...!

People fixation on words "carbon" next to shoe name - is the only reason companies get away with adding plates to every shoe in the line as a means to charge more

[@jameswestmoreland9717]

Nate: a few yearss ago my wife did a two day century event, a century each day. Anyway, a guy showed up on his eliptigo and did both centuries. ! A new challenge for you.

Shoe stiffness vs less stiff with footbed: the runner could alternate stiff shoe with another, less stiff shoe.

We're entering the shoe mod era 😂 you never know if the runner next to you has replaced the carbon plate with some AM titanium shit

[@GTE_Channel]

38:20 is there any actual science to support the claim that old racing flats gave equal performance to everyone? I have a hard time believing this is the case. Your body does not know carbon or peba, down the line you get more efficient if a shoe fits your mrchanics, so I would argue this applies to any type of shoe.

If the Neo Vista is like the SC Trainer v1 I might have to order one. Been waiting for something to replace it since New Balance didn't want to keep it real.

[@mochidomo]

In addition to the heart rate strap comment, I wonder if adding on the GCT balance, cadence, stride length, or vertical ratio data would be more sufficient in garnering which shoe is more efficient? I understand that there are many many factors not accounted for on a regular training run between two shoes, but I imagine if his vertical ratio for one shoe vs the other shoes showed a large difference, enough for him to notice during the run AND in the data, it surely should be enough to solidify his suspicions.

What was the 5K time? 👀

[@PoetWithPace]

Do physical therapists study engineering?

[@tex287]

I’m torn between the neo vista and the ASICS superblast 2 for my first marathon in September. I might just have to flip a coin at this point!

[@kit7579]

I think the mistake of only talking about the carbon plate for efficiency lies on the fact many record times on track were done with just a pair of track spike with minimum foam back in the days.

[@dkmchui]

Since Andrea likes it, it is a buy.

[@DoctorsofRunning]

This is the way
