The RunDot Running Podcast

What makes you the runner that you are? According to legendary coach Bobby McGee, it comes down to two essential ingredients: fitness and efficient running form. In this episode, Bobby returns to the podcast to explain how these two elements work together and how athletes can identify the difference between their natural abilities and the areas that need improvement. He breaks down the concept of running economy, why it matters for runners of every level, and how small changes in movement can lead to big gains in performance. Whether you're looking to run faster, conserve energy, reduce fatigue, or simply make running feel smoother and more enjoyable, Bobby shares practical tips and expert insights that can help you become a more efficient athlete.

We explore the benefits of rotating shoes, what to look for when buying new ones, what those shoe categories actually mean, and Brady even shares expert tips for choosing the right shoes for your unique feet.
