I'm here again to remind you all of the importance of getting your running shoes fitted to you properly. I have run after fitting my shoes myself and also after having them fitted for me.
If you are serious about your health and running you need to be sure to:
RESPOND TO THE SIGNS OF YOUR BODY
If you notice that you have new soreness like knee or foot aches that you didn't have before, you may need new shoes. The life of your shoes varies per person but on average, it is 6-12 months or 500 miles. Don't skimp on your health or you'll be out for a while due to an injury.
GET A GAIT ANALYSIS
Find a quality running store and have a gait analysis. I just had my second one done and adapted the shoes that I bought the last time. Your body may change a bit and the technology of shoes does as well. This is a free service so use it and enhance your running and health.
I just bought some new shoes and this process was very helpful to me and has significantly improved my health and performance.
Questions, suggestions, feel free to write a comment.
Have a great run!
