Season 2, Episode 1: Exercise, Sport & Health Podiatry - Training Specificity

Matt Clarke and Michael Nitschke are back on the pod wavelengths.

Matt is back from his overseas racing tour after running an 8:16 steeplechase and discusses the struggles adapting to longer workouts as he targets the City2Bay.

Mike chats about the clinical landscape of SPARC whilst Matt was gone and how many athletes he has seen have been embracing balancing niggles to keep up fitness.

The duo discuss and contrast the benefits of training specificity in running. How and why being specific helps, and also when a broader approach may provide important aspects of programming.

They touch on the much anticipated ASICS MEGABLAST and compare it with the Superblast, answering a divided opinion... which is truly softer?

Finally they chat about the their shoe choice for the upcoming City2Bay before teasing the next episode of the series...
