Treadmill VS Road ? - Page 2 - Ausbb

Another advantage, especially in winter, for the treadmill is weather conditions (sorta touched on it but needs reiteration). Not very nice to run in showers or extreme winds.

But yeah, road running is harder because of the need to "pull" yourself along BUT treadmill is hard because there's no letting up in pace.

EdCid is right- it's a lot easier to cheat on the road!

im flat footed...
so im using mizuno alchemy..
its a good pair of shoes for me.. as i do not need to put Orthotics when wearing that

I guess we have to film ourselves running, put it on YouTube and get Bree to recommend the right shoe for us.

Kyle: "Having seen my running, what sort of shoe should I have?"
Bree: "Crutches."

I got my Brooks Adrenalin GTS shoe recommended from here - Running Science Rozelle
Running Science - Footwear Fitted by Professionals

They analyse your gait on a treadmill before recommending a shoe. Don't go to Athlete's Foot though, go to a proper shoe store. There's a list here - Australian Running Links - CoolRunning Australia

Thanks for the list Katie, will check one out this weekend!

The TAF guys would lynch you for saying that Katie! Actually, you will find that a lot of their staff are physio, pod and biomechanic students, so they know their stuff. The fitprint is more about marketing than anything, but it sells shoes!

Running Science are really good, have heard good things about Footpoint in Mosman. Sydney Running Centre in Edgecliff is another.

Each store has it's own bias, a lot of them are semi-pro runners so have sponsors that they will sway towards.

I just checked out that list. It recommends Paul's Warehouse. That list is bad!

katie · 27-08-2009, 10:50 AM

Well, y-e-e-e-s, but it's got a whole lot of other specialist shoe shops on the list...

Hmm that's something I didn't know about The Athlete's Foot! Some ppl on coolrunning just said the footprint thing was a gimmick because they never actually analyse your gait.
