delsy Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I want to start training for a 10k run and know absolutely nothing about running. I need to buy some running shoes, and just wondered if anyone out there can give me some advice. I am not a "sporty" person at all, I'm an absolute novice, and can't remember the last time i even excercised!! Thanks xxx:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tourist Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Best off going to a running shop and get a proper assessment on which type of trainer is best for you. The best shoe for you can all depend on how you run. The running shop in Atterclidde (can't remember their name) is always a good bet. I always stick with Adidas Supernova, but that is because I've had that model for 10 years or so now without a problem so why change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notrecoach87 Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 You need a really light trainer, nike made one for running and they took everythin possible off it so it was as light as possible, Puma Sprints arnt too bad or them puma trainers with that have that zig zaggy velcro strap.

delsy Posted November 16, 2005 Author Share Posted November 16, 2005 Cheers everyone. I think the place in attercliffe is called "Keep On Running". I'll try there. Thanks again xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahkate Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Asics and Saucony are both pretty decent brands of running trainer. Saucony are fairly reasonable too, Asics start at about £60 unless you manage to find some in a sale somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfw* Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Cheers everyone. I think the place in attercliffe is called "Keep On Running". I'll try there. Thanks again xxx there's 2 running shops in attercliffe practically opposite each other - keep on running, and - accelerate I really rate stuart at accelerate's gait analysis (where he watches you running on a treadmill) but they're both good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brunette Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I think, 5 years later, the OP may have sorted out his running shoes. Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
