With all of this marathon training, both pairs were pretty much worn down to nubs.
Normally, I’d head to a store where you canhave your gait analyzedwhile running on a treadmill.
This way sales people can help you better determine what jot down of shoe you need.
But with the marathon so close, I didn’t really want to make any drastic changes.
I still wanted a great running store.
And the people there really know their stuff which is super important to look for.
My sales person was a fellow spunky gal named Chrissy.
Chrissy is a runner too!
She agreed it was a good idea not to make any big changes weeks before the marathon.
I’m sticking with the Mizuno brand for now.
But like me, Chrissy is also a former dancer and is prone torunner’s knee.
She had some great, additional new sneaker suggestions to try out post-marathon.
you’ve got the option to check them out in the slide show below.
Good thing I did.
I go up a size from street shoes for my running shoes.
Turns out I needed to change my sock choice.
For some reason my latest pair leaves me a little too much room.
They are definitely working for me now.
I’ve already logged nearly 70 miles of marathon training with this new pair!
