| Just went for my first run with Taylin since all the snow melted. Horribly out of form, need to get back at it every day. |

Ok, I def need to buy new running shorts with zipper pockets. A light vest works at 55-60 degrees, it def doesn't work at 65-70 haha. I probably lost a gallon of sweat during my jog this morning! :stongue: Mmmmm salty! |
I just bought some new running gear! An awesomely comfortable pair of Nike shorts with a spandex liner and a pair of leggings...also new runners - I got Nike Free 5.0...super lightweight and flexible/barefoot technology . And I fit into kids size so I only paid half price and less tax. :D |

| Not trying to sound mean or anything, but Nike makes running shoes. If you're running on asphalt the tread wears off after like 500 miles. Mizuno and Brooks make way better road shoes. My last pair were Nikes and they were basically worn flat after 2 years. I have Mizuno Wave Alchemy 10s now and they feel so much better. |

I honestly don't know why people still think running on concrete/asphalt is still somehow a good idea.
I just met with the director of Orthopedic Surgery at one of Americas largest Hospitals and says the number of people he's seeing with knee problems is exploding due to the running trend starting in the 80's.
People in their 30's and 40's having full (if not double) knee replacements and full blown Arthritis in the same age groups. He said 20 years ago, it was basically reserved for people in the 60+ bracket and he puts it down to the incredibly damaging pastime of running/jogging.
He now advises to anyone that will listen that city running is basically the most damaging form of exercise you can do. |

The only place I run outside is the park...on a path of fine gravel + shortly trimmed grass. At the gym I run track + treadmill. :)
I'm not some hardcore runner...I just get in 30-40 minutes for cardio, which I switch up with other stuff like cycling, swimming, blahblah.
But anyway, I downhill skiied + raced for years. If anything is gonna catch up to me later in life it'll be that. But no problems so far. I have strong legs. |

You sound like a fat person. "I just met with the director of Orthopedic Surgery at one of Americas largest hospitals." :haha: You're so full of you might explode.
It does make sense though, since shoe technology hasn't advanced at all in the last 30 years. |

Go here http://www.runnersworld.com/shoeadvisor
The kind I used work for me, but that doesn't mean they will for everyone. I have very flat feet which tends to pronate my ankle, which is why I went for one with more rigid support, but that site will recommend shoes for you based on your height, weight, running experience, foot type, running surface, etc.
If you're really serious about running (not just someone who buys "running shoes" to run a mile every week or so) it's worth it to do your research and possibly spend a little more. People who walk into footlocker and buy the Nike trainers that look the coolest are the ones who get ankle/knee problems. |

Well not to sound gay but I have nike free trainers to play Dance Dance Revolution and they work really well with that. That game is good for short term burst stamina but I would like to build longer term endurance just for the sake of being fit. |

My other shoes are Saucony Progrid...bought them based on the gait analysis the person did at the store. I just couldn't stand them any longer. Too heavy + clunky and I found my knees actually hurt sometimes. I definitely am liking the sock-like-ness of the Nikes. I can feel a big difference in my calves too.
I still have my old ones, they're still pretty much brand new. Good to have a couple different pairs. |

Lol, once again, so far off the mark it hurts. But that's just your life these days isn't it. It's not a case of "wrong again" with you, it's a case of still wrong.
I'm skinny, always have been, and have a metabolism that means I can eat anything I want and not put on weight. It's actually a curse because the only way I gain is with lean muscle.
I also have business interests in the healthcare sector so it's hardly surprising I have a lot of Dr/Medical friends (not psuedo, wiki doctors like you pretend to be - actual doctors with medical degrees and practices).
You think "shoe technology" helps in the grand scheme of thing? Lol.
1500 strides per mile when jogging. If you run 3 miles each time, and do that twice a week that's 9,000 high impact compressions to your knees a week or 450,000 high impacts a year.
That 1/2" of "technology" between you and solid concrete is totally going to save your knees. |
