[QUOTE="Too40gawlf, post: 13239155, member: 151986"] Ehh, in my opinion this will turn into the eventual waste of $200-300. The only reason a running store offers this service is to con you into buying overpriced shoes. You dont need $150+ shoes to run in an effective and safe manner. Go to the a normal shoe store and try on a few pair of different shoes. Pick the most lightest, most comfortable ones that seem to work and go for a few runs. If they work well, you've identified the type of shoe that works for you. If they dont, some stores have a return/exchange policy that will let you switch out shoes. Im your size 5'10 220lbs (Im in a rest phase and have ballooned in weight - but will be ramping up distance to train for a marathon in October) and have run 1 marathon, numerous 1/2 marathons, a bunch of 15Ks, 10 milers, and countless 5ks. normally, I put in 100-125 miles a month and even more if Im training. Occasional pains are part of the price you pay for putting in decent distance. But good rest and sleep, heavy hydration, good intake of nutrients and knowing when to take a break for a few days goes a long way in preventing longterm injury. Knock on wood, so far all my major compnonents are in one piece. [/QUOTE]
