This or That? Super Trainers vs. Training Companions, Buying 2023 or 2024 Shoes, and Could Caitlin Clark BQ!? | DOR Podcast #206


This or That? Super Trainers vs. Training Companions, Buying 2023 or 2024 Shoes, and Could Caitlin Clark BQ!?
Doctors of Running Podcast, Episode 205


Time for another edition of "This or That" where we pit two opposing concepts (shoes, training, recovery, nonsense) against each other and force ourselves to pick a side. On this episode, Nathan, David, and Matt debate...well...pretty much everything: super trainers vs. training companion shoes, running in the heat vs. the cold, long racing vs. short racing, LeBron vs. Caitlin Clark, and even California geography. If you're looking for needlessly hot takes, we've got 'em.
