🎉🏃‍♂️ HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR SENIOR SPORTS PODIATRIST BEN LAMB! 🏃‍♂️🎉

Recently, Ben took on the ultimate test of endurance — a Backyard Ultra — and absolutely smashed it, running for 24 hours straight and covering a mind-blowing 100 miles (160km)! 😱💪🔥

For those who don’t know, a Backyard Ultra is no ordinary race. It’s a relentless challenge where competitors run a 6.7km loop every hour on the hour, with no finish line… The race only ends when there’s just one runner left standing! 😅⏰

Our colleague and all round good fella (even though he's an Aussie) Chris, a leading biomechanist and Podiatrist at The Biomechanics Lab is asking anybody that runs if they could kindly help him out by submitting this short survey below. This sort of stuff helps guide the evolution of footwear design so it would be great if you could help out.

Thanks in advance.

The latest Kona Ironman shoe count is out from LAVA Magazine. ASICS are still consistent at top spot.

Interesting to see HOKA ONE ONE rocketing ahead as a preferred shoe in the elite running community, now becoming the 3rd most popular shoe of choice of finishers. Initially thought to be a bit of a fad and domain of the ultra-marathon runner, now proving to have real credibility for all in the running community.

Thanks to Craig Payne at "Running Research Ju**ie" (runresearchjunkie.com) for a brilliant graph mapping the progression of footwear trends at Kona for the last 6 years.
