I took my son for some new trainers after he ran the Great North Run last year , he was struggling with knee pain but didnt want to change his trainers so near the run, he had his gait analysed and the man in the shop said it was worthy of U Tube , he recommended a pair of shoes and a few tips on trying to improve his running style, he also recommended that he didnt run in the shoes for a couple of weeks just walk around in them, he didnt listen and suffered for it, He realised his mistake and walked in them for about a month and has been pain free ever since
I feel so much better knowing im not the only person who goes red in the face after a run. I look so bad sometimes people must think I am ready to collapse at any time but I never feel uncomfortable, I always feel great.
