    God bless you! Totally non-intimidating info that might just persuade me to give running a go. Thank you!

    That is some great information, thank you. I HATE to run, but want to be better at it, and want to do some sort of race at some point.
  • Thanks! I just started running over the summer, so this was very helpful!

    I did my first 5km run back in July - when I told my husband I had entered it, he lay on the floor & laughed (quite correctly as the word run & me have never gone together).

    I have never been a runner, but decided that it was about time I gave it a go - I wish I had had chance to read this before I started my training!

    I finished it & even managed to run all the way. I have already signed up to go again next year & hope to better my time.

    Thank you for some great info !

    SHOES:

    Once you have determined your foot type, you will need to get shoes that compliment your foot. For example,
    I roll my foot to the outside. I am more prone to shin/knee/hip injuries because of it. Until May, I ran in shoes that had a thick
    outside sole to compensate for how my foot lands. I now run in Vibram Bikila minimalist shoes. These aren't for everyone, but they have helped me considerably with knee/ankle problems.

    I run in Bikilas, too! :)
