Anyone here Jog?

I need to start I think, have jogged of an on here and there but never any thing consistant, what brand of shoes do you like?

 

I am planning on starting up once I get my knee surgery done. I'm not active enough at work and jogging burns more calories in a shorter period of time than anything else. That's enough reason for me to shoose it over some other form of exercise.

 

Exactly.

 

Only when I'm being chased by something bigger than I am that I can't eat. waytogo

 

I started, but then my back acted up again, so I have to stop til I get it addressed.

It hurts like hell when you start. Like HELL.

 

I run between 8-15 miles a week. A suggestion for anyone who runs - go to a running shoe store, ask them to 'fit' you to a type of shoe for your bodyweight and foot type (pronators, etc). I had a bad bout of plantar fasciitis a few years back that was in reality totally due to wearing improper shoes. I overpronate and have run exclusively in Asics 2100 series shoes or Asics Gel Kayano. Another thing - buy new ones after about 300 miles - the cushioning does break down over time and can create problems with your knees, etc. I can tell when mine are due when I start getting a little bit of soreness near my IT band (outside of the knee).

 

Holy techno-jargon batman! I never thought that running shoes were so technical until I talked to a guy I work with about it. He's nationally ranked in the 100 yard dash (seniors) and told me more about shoes than I ever wanted to know. I'll probably start off in some cheap Nikes, but since I can currently only run less than a mile at a time they'll probably work OK for a bit.

Jogging ????? Is that like walking really fast ????

I know it is the best bang for the buck in the carb burning game but I just can't seem to get off my butt and do it .

OK, just got fitted for some Asics GT-2100's, I plan on taken them for their maiden voyage tonight. waytogo

 

about 20 miles a week along w/ lifting weights every day, once I started it sucked but now I hate not being able to do it everyday

 

I know what you mean, tried getting up early today and couldn't seem to get up out of bed, maybe it was a Monday thing, will give it another shot tomorrow. waytogo

 

Just took the new wheels for a spin, worked pretty well. waytogo
