So this morning I went out for a 4 mile run. And my legs are fine. Woot!
Why make that post worthy?
A while back I bought a nice shiny new pair of Asics running shoes to replace my Saucony shoes. I did all that good stuff of taking the old shoes to the specialist running shoe shop. They looked at my feet, I tried all the shoes they had on, and finally settled on my Asics.
Shortly after this I started our running club's C25k running programme.
Those of you from the club will know that I have been suffering with bad calves all the way through the programme. I've thought it was weird as I really dropped the mileage, following the programme.
Anyway...
So, recently I started trying running with my old Saucony shoes again.
And you've guessed it, I'm not getting pain in my legs.
I have no idea what it is about my really comfy Asics that is causing the problem, but I am 90% sure now it's all down to them. So, I guess I need to buy a new pair of Saucony shoes.
It really highlights how important it is to NOT ignore pain when you run. It's taken me an embarrassingly long time to decide to try my old shoes again.
I suppose it is the Judoka in me, ignoring the obvious pain indicating a problem. :)
Anyway... so don't ignore pain when you run.
