Shopping the Brands

Shopping the Brands


Shopping the brands is a practical way to shop online. It eliminates thousands, perhaps even millions of search list choices. Really, put the words 'running shoe brands' into Google and I bet you get over seven million listed choices. If you were to enter ' shoes', you'd probably find roughly forty millions listed results. You may narrow it down a little more effectively if you start with 'running shoe brands'. Then put in your favorite brand in advanced search.

There are a great many number of brands to choose good shoes from. Some of the most popular brands still appear to be Nike running shoes, New Balance running shoes, Asics running shoes and Brooks running shoes. They appear to also be holding their own in walking shoes and cross trainers. A side thought - When shopping for a good pair of runners, consider purchasing new socks as well. It makes a nice and added comfort to your work out.

Design choices vary a quite a bit. Sometimes it comes to taste or the brand of shoe that you've had the most positive results with. Never-the-less, it's still a good idea to read and research the characteristics and details involved in the building of the shoe you're interest in. Our feet are so important. It may also make a difference in your stamina and your endurance. Take your time and compare shop. Also, visit a few sites. Some sites offer better prices, free delivery, free return, better return policies. Half of the convenience of shopping online is getting a great deal and exactly what you wanted.
Here are some of the ways I try to boost the value of my workouts:

Keep track of your progress:
I run at least three times a week, and use Nike+ GPS to keep track of my speed and distance as I run. To ensure that I'm not slacking off and to minimise any chance of coasting, I always decide on an average speed or split time that I want to maintain, and use the feedback to keep me on target. I've found that since I started doing this, as obsessive as it sounds, my average run speed has increased, and I'm regularly going faster over every distance that I run up to Half Marathon. As a pretty competitive guy, I often find myself pushing a lot harder towards the end of my runs in order to beat a previous best or to come in ahead of target. If you don't have or use Nike+, you could do something as simple as taking note of the time it takes you to reach certain landmarks on your regular run routes, and try and match or beat this each time you hit the road. Don't let someone else do the work for you: Every cyclist out there has used a fellow rider as a rolling windbreak at one time or another. Closely drafting another cyclist can mean you use about 30% less energy/power than if you were riding out there in the wind alone. Whilst tucking out of a brutal headwind can be a blissful experience, particularly on a long ride, if you're not actually racing, you're just shortchanging yourself. When I train on my own, I try to treat each ride as if it is an individual time trial. I imagine that the people in front of me are other competitors in a triathlon and resist the temptation to draft them regardless of how knackered I'm feeling. I've been riding regularly for a few years now and had found that my average speed had plateaued. I eventually realised that this way because I was soft pedalling behind other riders for about half of every ride I did. Since I began to ride solo, my average speed in a triathlon has increased between 12-15%. Not much when you see it written, but a big difference when you consider the time savings over a long course triathlon. The added leg strength and endurance has also greatly aided my run leg too.
