Hour 7 Founder Michael Stocks visited Dr Jamie Pugh at Liverpool John Moores University to test 3 different shoe options at his upcoming 48 hour race. What made this test unique and innovative is that Michael not only tested the shoes at his running pace, but he also tested them at his walking pace because he will be taking numerous walk breaks during the race. It should be noted that the best performing shoe had a carbon plate in it and the other 2 shoes did not.
