Adidas Supernova Glide

2009-03-31T13:11:00.003Z

The Adidas Glide are really well-cushioned running shoes, which are ideal if your foot type is neutral like mine. I tried a pair on recently at SheRunsHeRuns at Meadowhall, and was immediately impressed by the feel of the shoe.Unfortunately, I was in a bit of a rush so was unable to try them out on the treadmill, but I will certainly be getting myself a pair in the near future. Quite often I can

Mizuno Wave Idaten 3

2008-12-20T11:26:00.004Z

Christmas has come early for me this year - these Mizuno Wave Idaten's are a Christmas present from my parents, and should really be wrapped up in their box and not opened until the 25th December! One good thing is that I haven't run in them yet. I ordered them from the Natterjack website a few days ago hoping they would arrive before Christmas. Well, they arrived the day after they were put in

How to Find the Best Cushioned Running Shoes

2008-10-10T13:57:00.001Z

Buying running shoes can be confusing – especially since the running shoe companies seem to be introducing new technologies all the time. What you don’t want to happen is to go into a shop – or worse still buy a shoe over the phone or the internet – without a good idea of your foot type. The shoes you buy might be the best cushioned running shoes, but if you pronate when you run it will only be

Nike Lunartrainers

2008-08-06T06:43:00.004Z

If you're looking for a great pair of lightweight trainers that you can use for both racing and training it is worth looking at Nike's Lunartrainers. LunarTrainer+ weighs 250g so will not hold you back, and at the same time provides great levels of cushioning.I can't give my personal opinion on these shoes as I haven't worn them, but they look good and Nike do make excellent running shoes. I have

Mizuno Wave Rider

2008-08-05T10:11:00.003Z

I picked up a good pair of running shoes when we were in the States in January. For a long time I ran in them mostly on the treadmill, but over the last month I've been running on the roads and across fields as well. For me they seem the ideal all-purpose shoe. They are Mizuno Wave Rider 10. I think they cost around $60 to $70 in Orlando, which was an excellent bargain. The full price for the

Running Shoes for Beginners

2007-07-14T20:25:00.000Z

Not all running shoes are the same, and when you're just starting out you won't want to spend a fortune on running shoes. You'll be looking at the budget end of the market for a pair of beginner running shoes. This does not mean that they will be cheap and rubbish, but there will be less technology in the shoes as compared to the more expensive kinds.In fact, a beginner runner can pick up a good

My New Favourite Running Shoes

2007-05-27T12:02:00.000Z

For quite some time I favoured Nike Pegasus's for my training sessions. I probably wore my Pegasus shoes for over 6 months -- and that's on a pretty constant basis! Constant meaning for all training runs, races etc in whatever weather. I liked them so much I bought another pair when I saw them in a sale. Then I noticed that part of the rubber near the heel had worn away so much that bits were

5 Easy Ways for Runners to Recover between Training Sessions

2007-05-13T19:52:00.000Z

In order to improve as an athlete you need to make rest and recovery a key part of your training schedule. Yet most beginning and intermediate runners tend to neglect this, and unfortunately pay the consequences in the form of a soft-tissue injury, or a general feeling of overtiredness.So, how do elite athletes maintain schedules of a hundred miles a week full of intense training? Because it is

Mizuno Wave Rider 9

2006-11-05T10:23:00.000Z

If you have a neutral gait cycle and want a good blend of cushioning and support you can't go far wrong with the Mizuno Wave Rider 9. It is built around Smoothride technology that Mizuno say provides the "ultimate heel to toe transition". The wave technology provides a smooth transition, and reduces the shock vibration that you get while running.They also have a great woman's version of the shoe

If you listen to your running shoes, and get out the door and run...congratulations you can call yourself a runner. And you really belong to an elite club; one you should be proud you belong to. You may not be a club member, but the very fact of running makes you special.You are different from the majority of the population, who would rather work 9 to 5, slump in front of the television or go

Listen to Your Running Shoes

2006-10-21T10:35:00.000Z

Running is an essential part of who I am. Some of my best memories in life are associated with running, but too often these memories are a long way in my past. So, sometimes I feel I am looking back too much and not living in the moment.Running helps you see the world around you and live in the moment. It's so easy to go automatically through life not paying attention to anything. Come home make

Running for Your Better Life

The points in the following article are correct:1)Running is good for you. Always consult a medical practitioner if in doubt about starting a running programme.

Wrong choice of running shoe

2006-10-11T12:12:00.000Z

I ran the Clumber 10k race on Sunday, but unfortunately chose to wear the wrong shoes. I may have previously said that I like the Asics DS racer, and they are good to use on an elliptical trainer or in the gym. They may be good for people if they are fit enough, but I would exercise caution.Cushioning and support is minimal. This is to be expected as they are racing flats. So to run in them when

Nike Pegasus

2006-09-08T15:11:00.000Z

Nike makes fashion shoes, as well as sports shoes for tennis and basketball, but they're perhaps best known for their running shoes.Their most famous shoe is arguably their best: Pegasus. This has had a few adjustments for 2006. I have tried these shoes before but never really liked them. A few months ago, though, I tried them on the shop, they felt just right, really comfortable, and I have been

Asics DS trainer & racer

2006-01-10T16:19:00.000Z

I found a couple of great Asics running shoes in the New Year sales. Asics DS racer, and the DS Trainer. The DS racer is great for speed sessions, and is surprisingly comfortable if you have a neutral gait. A fellow runner told me he used to run in these a lot, but the sole wears out quickly especially if you pronate at all.He favoured the DS Trainer, which has more cushioning. Having tried both

Asics 2100

2005-11-20T11:26:00.000Z

Back in June I went to a specialist running shop in Peterborough and got my gait analysed. I was happy with this, and the shoes I bought until I started to develop a pain in my right foot-- along the sole.The only thing I could think of that I should change was my running shoes. Perhaps these shoes weren't as good as I thought they were. Or perhaps I just needed a change. Anyway, I took myself

One of the best things you can do in your search for your ideal running shoe is to go to a specialist running store.

Choose Your Running Shoe With Care

2005-08-09T07:45:00.000Z

Every person is different, and the best shoe for one person might be harmful to someone else. Take Nike Air Pegasus as an example. These are perhaps one of the most popular and best selling shoes of all time. Nike originally introduced them in 1983, and they are still going strong today. They've gone through changes throughout the years, and many people swear by them.They are soft, and light with
