WGEL expert discusses running shoe design
In August Jordan Donnelly ran the 3000m for our Senior Men's track team in Scotland. In early September he discussed world-class shoe design on an Australian running shoe podcast.
Jordan, from the Wirral, joined WGEL when he started his Business Studies degree at Brunel University in 2008. Since then he has worked with Adidas & Puma (incl. 5 years in Boston, USA) before taking up his current position as Athlete Innovation Lead at On Running in Zurich. Over the last 2 years he has helped On become a major global player in performance shoe design. All the time continuing to train and compete himself!
This fascinating podcast reveals just how much thought is going into the current generation of performance running shoes:
