Same here, I use my 30 quid New Balance trainers, muddy, dirty, smelly, and they get me around on my runs no problem. Just gotta have a bit of luck really.

Steer clear of most of the shite they sell you at inflated prices in the likes of JD Sports etc, if you are going to bother spending decent money on running trainers then try a specialist website like www.startfitness.co.uk (as recommended the decent Runners magazines etc.

Generally i have always stuck to using Asics, Brooks, New Balance (tend to be geared towards Marathon distance) and amongst the best are Saucony.

But if you are not feeling any discomfort and are hitting the target you go with the best pair of road slappers you have :D

I just took it at my own pace last night and my shins are fine today. Gonna give it a miss today, do some free weight exersizes instead, then the same run again tomorrow

**Punk_trooper** · 23-07-2009, 14:35

Heres a tip i taught myself today: DONT GO RUNNING AN HOUR AFTER EATING!! i did a 1.5 miles walk/jog warm up letting off farts and burping all the way, rested for 30 seconds then started my 1.5 mile run home and blew out after 45 seconds with a stitch and back pains! :(

**nel88** · 23-07-2009, 14:47

Oh thats nothing to do with food intake..............that's old age, lets sit you down and give you a rest old timer lol we all have lessons to learn, better now than when your in chap.

**Punk_trooper** · 23-07-2009, 15:05

I started my training program 16 weeks ago running the mile and a half in 16 minutes 25 seconds, I now run it in 10minutes 28 seconds and still grafting for better and I can comftably run 5 miles.

Just keep cracking on with it chap and you'll get their, just remember consistancy is the key.
