Went for my first post-Vegas run today; 14 miles at just under an 8:30minute pace.
For any of you who have just started running, have been thinking about running, or run, but don’t know what their doing, let me make one great suggestion: go to a running store and try on a half dozen different shoe brands.
Too many people wear well marketed running shoes as opposed to Etonics, Brooks, Asics, or Saucony’s. There is a world of difference between these shoes and say your Foot Locker Nike. ( I love Nike for most things, but not for running - not at all).
The cushion, support, weight, and design of the shoe will work medical wonders: Trust me.
Also, I suggest going to a running store as opposed to some store in the mall. You are more likely to get good advice from people who work because they need your business.
One last piece of advice: ask if they have any of last year’s model in the back. There are rarely large differences in shoe models (often just a new color or added reflector). If you plan on running a lot this might save you ten dollars here and there, which you can use to buy some supplements here on bb.com
