Any Runners On Here??

The FuzeX Lyte aren't exactly 'low drop' at 6.6mm to 8mm (depending on which website you believe). They're just lower than the stiletto-like Kayano 23 with it's 10mm drop. 

It's all snake oil to sell more shoes. Or not. Depending on which website you believe.

You're not helping a trainer numpty y'know

I shall take all suggestions on board, do a bit of googling and then as the perfect armchair expert I'll descend on Manchesters running shops with my cleanest socks on to see which ones my knees like best.

All suggestions and advice very gratefully received.

Trainer = what they sell in JD Sports and Sports Direct.

You are after a pair of running shoes.

I'm not convinced by the minimalistas either tbh. My physio asked me if I'd considered running bare-foot. No, I said, my feet hurt. He said, humans developed to run around without shoes and have done for millenia. I said, we've been running around without underpants on too but I'm not going to do that either.

Colour and style. Very important. Just like when choosing a bike. You've got to like them.

I get on fine with my Brooks pure connect 2 in the gym and on steady easy short runs outdoors. Wouldn't even consider them for over 5km though.

You're good. Once you know what type of shoe you need keep an eye on TKMaxx as they often have very good NOS running shoes from two seasons ago buried in a pile of nasty fashion trainers.

I was recommended MBT (Masai Barefoot Technology) shoes that are supposed to mimic the development of human walking in softer earth and sand and take pressure off the knees. They're effectively harder soled more heel cut away Sketchers and didn't really do a lot other than make me nearly tip over backwards if I stood still in them too long.

Finally joined my local running club last week and ran with them tonight.

Felt good.

It might just be me but I find the social side of my running club much more engaging than the social side of my cycling club.

Enjoy!

Sprint training tonight, taken by Mark one of our triathlete members
Wasn't much fun though
Fast as you could, along the long side of a f**tball field, then a recovery jog along the short end where the fishing net is, & back full titl
10 minutes of it - as one session

Mindst you, it must work for him, as he was in Mexico, at the same time as the Brownlees!

First track session in gawd knows. 5x4minutes...you run one way for two minutes, the klaxon sounds and you run back to cross the line you started from before the klaxon sounds again(!)

Weird, but a decent work out.
