Today’s podcast is all about running shoes! I’m talking with running shoe expert and founder of the Running Shoe Rating site – RunRepeat.com, Jens Jakob Andersen.
Warm up: The LA County Fair! Check out this RER post on the Fair, Fun and FOOD!
And now let’s talk about running shoes!
About our Running Shoe Expert: Jens Jakob Andersen is a former competitive runner and founder of RunRepeat.com. You’ll most often see him wearing socks in sandals (yes, he’s one of those guys). He’s a regional cross country winner and finished 5k in 15:58. Besides running, he’s a board game lover and anti multitasking believer. Today he helps runners find their next pair of running shoes while saving runners an average of 38% per pair.
We talk about…
How should a new runner find running shoes that are best for them?
How are you ranking the shoes?
Who is running in these shoes and leaving reviews?
How long should someone keep a pair of running shoes?
and more!!
You can check out all the running shoes in the world (or at least 500 pairs that have been reviewed) at RunRepeat.com
And you can follow Jens on Facebook here or Twitter here.

Great information from Jens. I will definitely check out his site.
Apples used to be one of my favorite things, but I have developed an allergy to them. BOOO!!
As for my shoes…I have been a Newton girl for years!! LOVE my Newton Distance III (they are now on the VI…but I stock up on the old ones). They are light and fast and amazing. And yellow. And yellow shoes = fast shoes!!
Ugh. That sucks. Hope you find a delicious replacement 🙂
Oh wow, thanks for this! I always wondered if there was a difference between all the brands.
