btw, I have a question about running shoes.
Since I was a kid my mother always told me that low shoes (just everyday shoes) are better for the back.
There's a lot of debate going on in the runners world about barefoot running, minimalist shoes and cushioned or supported running shoes.
What do you as a professional running coach think of all that?
And what do the elite mid-distance runners train vs race in?
Looking forward to the answer
