Running with the Right Shoes

About 3 weeks ago, I had a running analysis done and discovered that I'm not running in the right type of shoe! Had the analysis done at Roadrunner Sports in Campbell, CA. Got fitted for these Brooks Glycerin 8 (Size 12.5) - modeled here by my youngest son Dhiren. I was surprised that I needed a different shoes because I had an analysis done about 4 years ago, and just figured I should still be running in the same type of shoe (Asics 2100 series). I also got some custom insoles. Feel much better with these shoes - no knee pain on my long run last weekend.

Lesson for the Day: If you're planning to run, get fitted for the right shoe. If it's been over a year, get fitted again. I guess running mechanics can change over time.
