The shoes you wear when you run or walk matter. A lot, it turns out. Matt Balzer is the owner of Reno Running Company and is a guru regarding all things running. He was also the guest on our very first episode! We talk about the new Nike shoes that are being worn by numerous record-breaking runners, and whether running in the newest shoes should be considered cheating.
