 |
|
This is my first time on this forum, and I'm sorry if I seem like a complete amateur for asking this question, but I could really do with some advice on good running trainers. What brands/style etc. anyone can recommend for city runny (pavements)? As I've only recently got into running I don't want to spend more than £50 ideally.
Thank you for any help |

| Bump! Anyone around? Is this a US site? (Therefore it's the middle of the night over there?) :? |

Seriously, 6 minutes between posts and you're bumping things??
Your best bet is always to go to a technical running store and have them observe you in a variety of shoes to see what works best for you and the conditions you'll be running in.

Age and weight will factor in. In the US, the really serious stores have a treadmill that can analyze your gait. Learning proper running mechanics will have a factor on how much you will have to spend on shoes. Good running mechanics means you will be able to get by with a minimalist cushioned trainer, vs a more expensive stability or motion control shoe.
