P.s excuse the poor grammar, when typed it was split into paragraphs!

Hi, yes another watch query. I'd be grateful for any advice and watches recommended that cover the following: Show current pace, minutes per mile Overall distance and average pace Race against previous workout/set a workout goal Easy to use and download info Shows map of route ( when downloaded) I've looked at various questions on here and looked online but can't seem to find a watch that covers the above. The Garmin 110 looked good but one site said it doesn't show current pace when you're running? I'm used to using endomondo and strava but want to stop carting my phone around. The apps are not accurate either. Thanks for your time

After gait analysis because of numerous niggles and shin splints it was suggested I go for these trainers (gt 2170) I too needed support in running trainers.

After getting these the injuries stopped and they felt like the most comfortable trainers I've ever owned ( and for the price they should be!)

It's now 5 months later, I've only covered about 200 miles in that time and the niggles and splints have come back. The trainers are meant to be good for anything around 500 miles, depending on weight of the runner. I will be going back and seeking advice.

Anyway, comfortable trainers. I've just seen that they are reduced online! (??65.99)

Thanks for taking the time to reply. There's a sweatshop in Bristol so I'll visit them.

Hi, Hopefully this hasn't been done to death as when I used the search facility I couldn't find the answer or suitable response. Anyhow, for years Ive been wearing cheap ??30 running trainers and always spent this amount ( its the Scottish part of me!) I'd get the occasional shin splint but that's it. Couple of months ago I treated myself to some ??60 Adidas, they felt ok apart from having tingling sensation in my feet first thing in the mornings. I then tried some ??80 Nike trainers, well it felt like you were running on marshmallows and so comfy, but the days after, shin splints, pains in my feet. So, should I keep buying the cheap trainers or (as suggested by a mate) I need to get fitted, obviously this will cost. Has everyone had good experiences with being fitted for trainers or is it abit of a waste of time? Thanks for your time!
