My Forum

I ran the London marathon last year completely barefoot, so I did an awful lot of training with very thin soled trainers, or none at all.

But alas age and wisdom has encouraged me to purchase a good pair of running shoes, however I've also had the issue where the runs with the new shoes are giving me incredibly sore knees, I also like yourself, cannot fathom why entirely.

I dont like the idea of doing another years worth of marathon training without trainers, because as much literature states, training excessively on roads / tarmac does put strain on the knees, however apparently so does a pair of cushioned trainers!

I agree, do what feels best.

So im taking up cycling...
