Morfitt: A Good Week Of Running
A good week of running… and learning, specifically on how important it is to have good gear!
Saturdays "long run" was also an opportunity to speak with a representative from the Brooks running company and even demo some of their shoes.
Run With CBS4: Track Team CBS4
Speaking with her was good for a newbie runner like myself, she had good information about the type of shoe I should be wearing and the life span of a typical running shoe.
Until, now picking out a running shoe consisted mostly of what it looked like.
I ran 8 miles in the Brooks Ghost 9 demo shoes and had zero issues. The shoe had a good amount of cushion and support. Overall I was pleased with the shoe, that being said I also didn't have a life changing experience with that shoe versus my usually Nike's.
The run itself felt great! With every mile I complete, I feel more confident in my ability to reach 13 miles, and can' wait to get to the start line!
