EP 218 - Super Shoes & Smart Gear with Boston Marathoner, Michelle Baxter
About this episode
This episode features a discussion with Michelle Baxter about super shoes, running gear, and preparation for the Boston Marathon.
This week, I’m joined by Michelle Baxter to talk all things super shoes, running gear, and Boston Marathon prep. We dive into how racing shoes have evolved + break down what’s actually working right now for us, including models like the Alphafly, Vaporfly, Adios Pro, and Fast-R and more. We also get honest about the role of gear: what truly matters for performance versus what’s just hype. From favorite current gear to cold-weather essentials (hello, Midwest winters), we share what we’re loving—and what we still wish existed. There’s also a nostalgic trip down memory lane with some of our favorite gear and things we want to leave behind. Whether you’re chasing a PR or just love talking gear, this episode is a fun, honest look at how running—and runners—have evolved.
