My own New Balance shoes are near the end of their lifespan. I bought them last year with the intention of teaching myself how to run, but it never came to fruit. I want to get a new pair of shoes and give it another go.
Apparently, I need "cushioned"-style shoes because I underpronate (i.e. normal to high arch, and a roll outward). Does this sound right? I got this information from runnersworld.com.
Also, I plan on doing some crosstraining. I have this great book that shows you some weight training you can do for injury prevention and performance. It also has stretching, cycling, swimming, etc, all of which I hope to incorporate somehow. Anyone have any experience in this? (Sorry, I haven't (re)read this thread lately....and my eyes are blurry.)
Any starter tips/advice/motivations are welcome. I'm not new to fitness, but I'm new to running (well, cardio training in general).
