THE STIFFMEISTER 14,642 Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 well...one thing you should do is get a proper pair of shoes..the easiest way to do this is to look at your wet footprint after you get out the bath..go to a good sports wear outlet..usually an independent shop i have found in my experience are the best.then describe your footprint to them and they should be abl to provide you with a good shoe..I have used ASICS Cumulus for several years now..You can expect to pay around £ for a decent trainer.. ASICS are good for me but i have also worn new balance,Saucony, northface and addidas with equally good results.. Its good to run..you cant beat the soltitude of pushing yourself over tht last hill Good luck and keep us posted Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I used to play a lot of sport up until a couple of years ago and the best running shoes I had were the saucony but trainers come in all different widths so best to try as many on. I don't road run but have a treadmill for the winter months. To get that little bit further each time is a great sense of achievement and a real buzz ! Lucky dog too Well done and keep going Tracey x Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lurchergrrl 1,441 Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Well done Kay The only time I run is when one of the sprogs charges off somewhere I'm happy in a gym, but no way would I take up running! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sandymere 8,261 Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 good for you, running is one of the best cardiovasculer and calorie burning excercise there are, and your dogs will love it too. The advice about running shoes is important and i would recomend that you go to a running shop, rather than any old sports shop, to get some proper advice this will cost a little more for the shoes but once you know what type you need then you can buy cheaper elsewhere. Once again well done you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BlueCoyote 0 Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 i love running! i regret not signing up for the track team in school. i probably would have never won a race, but that wouldnt have bothered me lol and i love going for a run with the dogs. now that hunting season is over and i dont have to worry about stray bullets we can get back to it - the only thing to worry about is the heat... but i figure i'll burn more calories if i carry bottles of water along! lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
