The media likes to spin things to make headlines. I’m not too big on spinning, I’d rather just help educate. If you’d like to clear the air and see what we know, what we don’t know, and what’s been spun, you can check out this webinar I’m doing for USA Track and Field next week on Mar 26th. Coaches will get CEU’s from their couch.

The make of running shoes have historically gone from one side (thin and flexible) to the other (stiff and bulky) and are now moving toward the middle of the road. Which is best? And how do you match running shoes to an individual runner? In this webinar presentation, Jay Dicharry will comb through relevant research and clinical experience to help you approach your running retailer with the knowledge of selecting the right tool for the job. Learn how to ensure that you are running in your shoes rather than your shoes running you! By the end of this webinar you’ll be able to understand:

•                 the evolution of footwear
•                 how footwear has been classically prescribed
•                 proof that this fit model is ineffective
•                 how shoes impact your running form
•                 how barefoot running impacts your form
•                 how shoe wear impacts your form
•                 how to select shoes for you
•                 what minimal shoes are, and if you are ready to make the transition
