Each company has good pairs - Saucony, Asics, Brooks ... and so on.

The recommendation to go to a specialty running store is the best ... two weeks before I broke my leg, i picked up a nice pair of Brooks - they are black and green, were not cheap, but they were great for running ... only got to use them about five or six times before the accident ...

I normally would have leaned to the Asics, as I have a pair of those that are good as well ... but the salesperson at the store had me try on a range of different shoes, had me run to see my running style and I wound up going with the Brooks ... which i never would have done if I were on my own.

What did you wind up buying and how is the running going?

Asics gel foundation 10

The running is going well. Surprisingly I'm doing better on the road bike than expected. 17-20 miles at 12.36 mph 100+ revolutions per minute, just to get the dexterity back.

Run: Mon, wends, Fri
Road bike: Tuesday, Thurs and some Saturday with the kids.

Focusing on knocking out a 15 mile road bike time trial followed by a 5k Running 2.5 miles now in the mid 20's just gotta get to the lower 20's. 18 yr smoker so my lung capacity is horrid, legs feel fine and I can push pretty damn good but lungs hold me back, they feel like theyre going to fall right the F.... out

Bumping it to 3 miles running Monday.
