50m
David and Matt dig into the mailbag, covering whether there are any drawbacks to running in just one shoe, advice on managing ligament injuries, and how height and weight influence the way runners interact with their footwear. They also field questions on shoe choices for HIIT and hybrid training, whether high-drop shoes still have a place, and recommendations for replacing the Saucony Tempus 2.
