Most people think that when they're done with a pair of shoes, the only option is tossing it in the trash. But Sneaker Impact has found a better option. They collect old shoes and use them to make a positive - and global - environmental and economic difference.

We talk to Bryan Huberty, Director of Run Specialty for Sneaker Impact. He explains what the business does and how you can help keep your shoes out of landfills.

We also cover three new shoes from HOKA (including one that's not exactly "marathon-legal" ... but still a ton of fun to run in). And, we talk about the Global Running Day party we'll be putting on with HOKA.

Yes, running requires proper physical training, but you can't ignore the mental side of running. We talk with Dr. Ashley Samson, a professor in the University of Kentucky’s Department of Kinesiology and Health Promotion. She’s conducted research on athletes and taught courses on sports psychology and sociology. She's also been sharing her insights on the mental aspects of running every month on the John’s Run/Walk Shop blog. Tune in as we dive deeper into psychological tips for running performance.

We also talk to our Altra tech rep Jordan about trail shoes and other Altra updates coming soon.
