I just bought some Nike running shoes
I must be doing it wrong
(, Thu 14 Apr 2011, 9:21, Reply)
Probably, Nike running shoes are shit.
At least they are for me, they are too narrow and white people don't like them as much as New Balance:

I'm not a proper runner so I used to buy Asics and now I have New balance but I just buy whatever is on sale.

Asics are good!

We are so white
How far are you running at the moment?
(, Thu 14 Apr 2011, 9:36, Reply)
I've done two lots of 2.7 miles, the last one took 25 minutes.
But I think I really need new shoes before I try and run any further or I'm going to end up knackering my shins.

Are you still running on the treadmill?
I actually find it easier to run outdoors. Keep it up though mate

I like to see the numbers tick by, motivates me
Tip for treadmill running, always set it to 1 degree of elavation to better recreate proper outdoor running

A combination
when I'm at home or work I run outdoors, when I'm down at my parents I use their treadmill, just because it's there. Plus I can then have a good go on my punchbag afterwards.

Punchbags are fucking awesome
Who do you picture when you're hitting it? I usually think of Chompy.

I pretend it's a big black leather bag with a red stripe around the top.
This helps me suppress the revulsion I sometimes get when I realise I'm actually battering the corpse of a prostitute.

Asics are really good and well priced
Particularly if you over-pronate

This is al we're talking about
Of course he over-pr0nates.

Very good!

I'm still wearing Vibram Fivefingers
I might get another pair for outdoor running.

Totally sounds like a monstrous fist-shaped rubber toy

(, Thu 14 Apr 2011, 9:55, Reply)
I suspect that would not help with the outdoor running
unless Darth was chasing me with it.
(, Thu 14 Apr 2011, 10:06, Reply)
Yeah, technically I did it wrong as well
I went to sports soccer and tried on all the ones I could afford. Then I bought the most comfortable pair.
(, Thu 14 Apr 2011, 9:26, Reply)
I know, I went to Run and Become in Victoria and they did exactly the same thing
trouble is, I have stupid wide feet and finding 4E width shoes is quite difficult.
(, Thu 14 Apr 2011, 9:22, Reply)
'Run and Become'?
That takes the prize for most pretentious shop name I have ever heard.
(, Thu 14 Apr 2011, 9:29, Reply)
You really would expect the shop which takes that title to be in Camden Market

(, Thu 14 Apr 2011, 9:35, Reply)
New Balance running shoes come in different width sizes.

Do they do an orthopedic version?
*tap CLUMP tap CLUMP tap CLUMP*
(, Thu 14 Apr 2011, 9:37, Reply)
I know
that's why I own a pair
(, Thu 14 Apr 2011, 9:38, Reply)
As will the London Marathon shop
and Runners Needs. I have had the "colour drain face" moment very recently as I have flat feet.

I bought the same pair online for about half the price they were asking. Try and look inside the tongue for either the model number or name.

I don't think I'm strong willed enough to go into a shoe shop
try on shoes, find a pair that are right for me and then say "actually I'll have to think about it".
(, Thu 14 Apr 2011, 9:28, Reply)
I have exactly this problem
Luckily Ms Foxtrot was with me when we got ours
(, Thu 14 Apr 2011, 9:28, Reply)
But, but, but, I like to support shops that give me good advice.
If everyone bought off the internet then there would be nobody to tell me which shoes to buy on the internet.
(, Thu 14 Apr 2011, 9:32, Reply)
That's actually quite a good argument
I'm regurgitating that one next time someone calls me a fanny for wanting to buy stuff instore rather than shopping around
