Restarting

Haven’t been disciplined about this but am now restarting the Podcast running program. Am finishing week 1 and will be moving onto week 2 over the weekend.

My feet hurt quite a bit… may be time to go to the running store and have them analyze my gait.

Analyzing your gait

Someone at the gym was just telling me that they think I need different shoes for the treadmill. They suggested I get my gait analyzed and see what a different pair of shoes will do for me. I thought they were kidding at first. I never knew that a person could get something like that done. Let me know if you think it is worth it. I will have to save up some money before I am able to do this.

Analysis

There are some free options to get this done. At a lot of marathons they have a health fair the day or two before the race. Usually there’s one or two dealers who are doing gait and pronation analysis for free there to suck you into buying their products. I had mine analyzed when a group of us were down in Florida to support TraumaJunkie’s first marathon.

One of the local running stores also does this for free if you’re buying a new pair of shoes.

Thanks for the information

Were you satisfied with the analysis Todd? I will make a trip to the running store this weekend. I sure one of the stores at the mall must offer this service.

Yes

I didn’t have any problems with pronation and my pressures were right in line so they couldn’t offer me any suggestions.
