Spring is upon us which means it is time to lace up those shoes and get moving!
Running is a great way to shed off those hibernation pounds gained over the winter.
The most important tools for running are the shoes you put on your feet.
I know what you are thinking, so many options, so little time. Where does one even begin?
I have done a lot of homework for you and below are 10 options that truly stand out for the 2018 season.
First and foremost, what category of shoe is right for you?
How do you measure up?
I am number 3 and use a neutral running shoe such as the Mizuno Wave Rider. Please note, this is merely a guideline to get you started on the right path. Trying on the shoe then walking/running around for a bit is the best determining factor.
For more guidance on determining which category you fall in, click on the photo.
Let’s get on with it shall we and see those results.
