May 12, 201412 yr I don't see how these two bolded statements are cohesive. :lol2: :idunno: Haha that was a one-night deal. The old fraternity guys go together and tried to relive the glory days for one night.
May 12, 201412 yr When I first started running I used light poles. Jog to one, walk to one. Soon you can increase that to 2:1, 3:1, etc. No longer than the 5K distance is, any C25K program is more so just to get you up and moving so that you are used to breaking a sweat, pumping your heart, using your muscles, and enhancing flexibility. Stick with it and you will feel 10X better... why would you not want to feel better? RE: Shoes. It is more than just saying, "Asics are better, New Balance is no good, etc..." Every single running shoe brand will have varying styles that support various running styles, body type, and size. Presently I wear Brooks Glycerin 10. Other styles of Brooks do not fit my running style and/or size. In short, do some research and get fitted.
May 12, 201412 yr I have two pair of running shoes, both are a model of Nike...Air Max may be one. However, neither of them have the stock insoles. The first thing I do with my running shoes is invest in a very good insole and replace the stock one.
