Running and Shoe choice

I will say that shoes are VERY important when running.. the right type that is

for years I had shin splint problems, that basically made me stop running.

yesterday I went to a running store and they watched me walk, run, and looked at my foot and gave me a couple shoes to try

it is amazing to me what a difference it is!! yesterday afternoon I did my first run in my new shoes and just a profound difference in how my legs feel!

if you are running, go to a running store and have them fit you.

 

yeah.. that is what I based my technique on::

 

i got some asics that work great for me...I always buy asics

 

I just recently did the same thing. Went to a running store and they watched me walk and move around. The shoes feel amazing. I just got in from an hour long run and I feel great. I've been working out for the past few months, and my major problem has been running. I was running in skateboard shoes. ::

 

Are you still running? I've had my gait analyzed by profesionals, been through numerous bouts PT, consulted podiatrists, orthopedists and sports medicine specialists, and I still have pantar fasciitis if I run too often.

 

I am, pretty much 5 days a week

 

Yeah, that's right, you only had shin splints. I run through shin splints! :atu:

 

I'm joking, Lok, shin splints hurt. When you run, do you run on your toes?

 

Shin splints hurt like hell... I used to put bags of frozen pees on my shins after

ever since getting my new shoes I have not had shin splints once..

and I've dropped 22lbs

 

yea i like newbies

 

Anyone ever try those spring loaded shoes? I've been seriously thinking about getting some.

 

i now run barefoot

 

This.

I changed to Asics 5 years ago and they've made a huge difference in recovery and general soreness.

Superior to anything else on the market IMO.
