Any running shoe gurus out there?

You should check out the Karhu flow trainers. Absolutely amazing neutral lightweight shoe. I have run in a lot of different running shoes out there and although many brands offer some great shoes, I’ve never run in such a comfortable and light shoe. Their fulcrum technology promotes a mid foot strike and facilitates the gait cycle. It has sped up my cadence, my efficiency, speed, and most importantly (knock on wood), no injuries! Great shoe, you should definitely check it out.

Full disclosure: I’m a Karhu sponsored athlete
