S3|E8 - The Shoe Doctor Will See You Now…with Nicholas Rupanga, 2:18 Marathoner and Running Shoe Expert Adviser.

Making A Runner

To take a quote directly from today's conversation, "Shoes shoes shoes shoes shoeees! And then you need to pick one?". How? And where do you even start?

It comes as no surprise to you that the running shoe market is flooded with options and with the latest technological improvements; carbon plates, foam on foam on foam, stack height, heel drops and a plethora of specs to consider before you even get to brand or colour way preferences, it can feel like an impossible maze to work your way through to find the right fit...

That's why when you find someone with the knowledgable, experience and knack for people that Mr Nicholas Rupanga posses, you easily become a return customer and readily pass on the details of The Shoe Doctor.

In this episode we chat to him about:

• His personal running journey; he is a humble man so he wont brag too much but we'll happily tell you that he is one of the best talents to grace local soil.
• His proudly held position as a professional shoe adviser at the Sweat Shop, a Specialist Running Store in Claremont, WC.
• What goes into finding the right pair of running shoes.
• How to introduce new shoes while keeping injuries at bay.
• Technical advice on everything from how to build a shoe rotation to the difference between daily trainers and super shoes...

If you're new to running or simply need to get in the know as far as running shoes go, this is the episode for you!
