A Beginners Guide To Buying Running Shoes

Beginners guide to buying running shoes
It’s back to school week…! This video is for anyone who is new to running or has not bought running shoes before.
Getting the right shoes that suit you is absolutely essential for marathon training. Not only will they get you through the 26.2 miles on race day, but also the 260 miles you will run in your training (yes….you will run that far!!).
Summary of key points in the video:
1. Some general guidance on how to go about buying your running shoes.
2. The anatomy of a running shoe and the things to look out for when choosing your shoes.
3. The different types of running shoes that you can buy for different runs (and shoe rotation).

Believe in The Run
Happy shopping everyone. Remember, getting the right shoes for you will not only help keep you injury free but will make you enjoy your running so much more…
The more you enjoy it the more you want to do it.
The more you do it, the better you get at it.
The better you get at it, the stronger you become.
The stronger you become, the more confidence you have.
The more confidence you have, the more belief you have.
Belief is what gets you over that finish line…!
Have fun on the run.
Dream. Believe. Achieve.

Kaye, really very sorry to say that here David has bought into the most typical and most repeated running myths about shoes ... very sorry David!! If you want to know the true science I recommend The Run Smarter podcast with running physiotherapist Brodie Sharpe who in many episodes cites and goes through the actual scientific studies concerning shoes with true experts in the field. You might like to begin with the episode "Is there a right and wrong running shoe with JF Esculier" or the blog article "What are the misconceptions when buying new shoes?"
