your knees will get stronger Lazer (but do check your shoes are ok)
Rio why check the shoes re knees? i periodically feel my knees are a bit stiff or sore when i start running but usually after about 10 mins they are fine. also sometimes i only feel them when going downstairs although going upstairs is fine...is that normal?
Keep a tally on how many miles you have run in them. you will need a new pair before London because they will be worn out and if you have had the shoes you are currently running in for a while the cushioning/support will be gone already.
any pain in the legs starts with the feet is all I am saying
Cross training in running shoes?? What sort of cross training?
The average pair of shoes last around 400 miles butit depends on how heavily you run (and I dont mean how heavy you are!) Some people are heavier heel strikers than others and will ear out their shoes quicker. Some people are lucky and their shoes last them 5-600 miles but I know that once my legs (shins particularly) are aching it is time to bin them
The different feel could just be because they haven't been broken in yet 854's are quite solid I understand?
the reason I asked is because I am having problems with the Asics GT2110s having had the 2100's without problems and several people have said that they feel different from previously
Keep a note of your mileage to tell you when you are likely to be needig new ones
hoping to resolve it tomorrow
I would say that as long as you have around 100+ miles in your shoes you will know they are not going to cause you any problems!
MDF shoes? blisters or splinters spring to mind along with black toe nails, shin splints etc lol
It's tough enough without that!!!
Before that though is this weekend-the mainstay of my fundraising. I will be having a significant birthday next week so have a huge party this Saturday at which I have asked for sponsorship not presents. Its going well so far- have a look at http://www.bhf.org.uk/sponsor/lindamcquaid/ but Im not sure I'll be doing much dancing!!!!
I also have New Balance 854 and am on my second pair. They are wider than the first pair-I didnt spot that till after I had run in them but as I now have orthotics in them its not a problem. That was following a visit to a physio before my fll because I was getting ankle pain after running. He said I was over pronating a lot and gave me some exercise as well as orthotics. Definitely seems to be doing the trick-ankles much less apinful, although of course the big test was the 12 miles yesterday and I only completed 5.5 before I fell. Tricky isnt it!
Glad you are on the mend though and you wont lose anything by taking a week off running. Can you do anything else though?
Ok so what is the significant birthday? i am a lady so can ask!!!
Be a good year to do the FLM. What a way to celebrate
