Joe Rogan was never a fan of doing cardio. He was surprised how out of shape he felt after struggling to finish the Cameron Hanes Keep Hammering 5k run in February of 2017 which he did not train for. About a month later he started running<\/a> on a regular basis to improve his lack of endurance. Rogan does hill sprints and runs the trails near his house while staying away from running on concrete or asphalt.<\/p>\n

Rogan has tested several different brands and models of trail running shoes including Under Armour Charged<\/a> and Merrell Vapor Glove 2<\/a>. He’s also sought the advice of veteran ultra marathon runners including Zach Bitter, Courtney Dauwalter, David Goggins and Cameron Hanes to find out what shoes they train and compete with.<\/p>\n

World record holder and three-time National Champion ultra marathon runner Zach Bitter recently provided his running shoe buying tips on the podcast. In JRE #1392<\/a>, Bitter explained that runners can reduce injury risk simply by wearing more comfortable shoes. He suggested trying on many different pairs of running shoes and buying the most comfortable ones. Bitter mentioned that runners with lower leg injuries, pain or soreness should select a running shoe with lots of cushion to soften the impact forces. Runners dealing with knee or hip issues should use a shoe with less cushion which allows for a more precise foot plant and activates the lower leg muscles.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
