After a day off yesterday I went out for a nice 8k run this morning. No lingering after effects from long run on Sunday which is encouraging. I took it easy over the first few km to see how all everything was working fine, and it was so I then picked up the pace on the way in. Ran in the old Saucony shoes which are probably vintage 2003. They felt good and I think I will use them more often. Concentrated on forefoot running.
In the book I read recently, “Born to Run”, the guy talks about how modern running shoes are bad for your feet and encourage poor running technique. Running shoes provide too much cushion and encourage a heel-to-toe running style that leads to injuries.
