About this episode
Carbon-plated shoes promise faster times and improved running economy, but research and real-world experiences suggest they also come with a higher risk of injuries, especially stress fractures. In this episode, Dr. Lisa breaks down the biomechanics behind these shoes, why they might not be the best choice for every run, and how to safely incorporate them into your training.
