During our 30-minute discussion, Jay insisted that everyone can improve their physical performance, even those in the “Masters” category! However, he emphasized that physical preparation is necessary to prevent injury and maximize performance. He shares “Wolff’s Law” and also commented on the relative value of expensive running shoes!

Here's an article by Jay about choosing running shoes. It's terrific! https://run.outsideonline.com/gear/th...
