Run Run Away

Question:
My once-a-week trail-running thing (20/80 road/trail) is something I am going to invert for a few months to probably about 80/20, as I work to recover a partially-torn calf.  I am finding the softer surfaces a bonus, plus I think I can use the miscellaneous muscle strengthening that trail running should offer. [...]

Question:
Thanks, TopCounsel.  Relevant stats: 5′10, 175lbs.  I have considerable overpronation in my right ankle due to an old injury  - which translates to pain in my right patellar tendon (been icing it daily).  Motion control is therefore a must.  Also, most of my running terrain is sidewalk/asphalt, [...]

Question:
Help!!!  I’m a 225 pounder with a normal to low arch.  I’m running about 15 miles a week now but will soon get back into training for a half.  The problem is, my arch type wants one kind of shoe but I run on the outsides of my feet.  Is there a [...]

Question:
Does anyone still do it?  You 20-somethings might not know this but there was a time when we all wore one of a couple of models of shoes….and as I recall….retreading was near commonplace.   You sent your pegs in and a week or so later…new waffles!   I don’t think I’ve [...]

Question:
Lit – there

Question:
I’ve read that replacing the stock insoles with something better adds a lot of life to the shoe.  I was replacing at around 300 miles.  I switched to a sorbothane insole which added greatly to the comfort of the shoe.  Then when it started feeling worn instead of new shoes I replaced [...]
