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 !0 -

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!0 -
