When it comes to Sports Podiatry, Ian is the voice of reason. For those who don't know what Podiatry is, let alone Sports Podiatry, worry not, he explains that too.
He knows the field like no other and casts a skeptical eye at some of the long held beliefs that exist regarding running shoes, orthoses and foot posture.
In some ways aided by a wardrobe filled with running shoes (this is no exaggeration), Ian has lots of tips to share with runners looking to optimise their own running shoe collections. Guided by the science, we delve into a number of topics to discuss comfort, performance and injury risk.
If you run, this episode is guaranteed to be a winner!
