#197 A Guide to Shoe Cushioning: Compliance, Resilience, and How it Influences Your Joints and Muscles

The cushioning of a shoe is the the number one priority for a lot of runners, but there's more to it than you might think. On this episode, Matt breaks down the ins and outs of cushioning. He'll define compliance and resilience. He looks at how different amounts and types of cushioning effect biomechanics, and explores why it may be useful to have a rotation of shoes that feature different midsoles.
