This Week Last Year: Running and Shoes
This week last year saw a lot of information on running and running shoes.
- Nick had a great suggestion that I wish that I had done. He suggested that you take before and after pictures for new exercise programs. When you are starting a new program, there may be some aches and pains, so remember to ice early and ice often.
- When in a training program, be sure to include some downhill running. Last year I provided a half dozen benefits to doing so. You should also remember that the best runs come when you least expect them, such as the morning after your bachelor party.
- I reviewed the Vitruvian Running Shoes. In other shoe news, the Nike+ system launched.
- Two years ago, I reviewed Thorlos socks and I got punched by an Olympic Gold Medalist. My wife also did a workout that I would never even attempt, and it was only the first workout of the day.
- Keep your shoes dry, but not near heat
- The Care and Maintenance of Running Shoes (or, how to enjoy your honeymoon by ignoring your websites)
- Remove rocks and mud from your shoes after your run
- Keep your shoes dry by pulling the insoles out
- How to make sure your shoes fit correctly when you buy them
