MAY’s MEMBER MEETING By, Cathy Anderson

SARC NEWSLETTER June, 2014

Members attending the May meeting heard about the Couch potato to 5-K

program by Rebecca Davey Vivalo. She is very happy and excited about the

group. She also reminded members of the upcoming Irish Festival 5-K. Paul Bosela and his

wife Angela talked about Debbie’s dream 5-K supporting stomach cancer.

Everyone was invited to try out HOKA ONE ONE shoes. John Meadows, May’s speaker, and

Vince Rucci, from Vertical Runner, brought boxes of male and female shoes in all sizes. Mem-

ber’s were able to try on the shoes and even run a short distance in them.

John, who was a runner in college and a college coach, was very interesting and energetic. He

gave us specs on HOKA’s shoes. Their main difference is extra padding making the shoes very

bouncy.

HOKA ONE ONE has engineered a unique performance midsole that features a higher volume,

softer density and greater rebounding foam than standard running shoes. HOKA ONE ONE

incorporates minimum heel to toe drop with a rolling rocker design to promote consistent rhythm

in the runner's foot strike. John told us that HOKA ONE ONE shoes provide the benefits of

minimalist shoes, but allow a runner to go farther with less risk of injury.

HOKA ONE ONE is a shoe for all runners, from joggers to elite athletes looking to improve

their performance. Prices range from $130-$170.
