Season 1 Episode 2- Choosing Your Running Shoes

Hey there Running Friends!

In this episode, I talk about what you can expect when you go to a dedicated running store to pick out shoes. No one ever should feel intimidated by the process, in fact, it should be a motivator to get you going!

Some of the specifics I cover are:

- Going to the Running Store- 1:02
- What new runners should expect- 1:57
- Trying shoes on at the store- 2:25
- Same Brand, but different versions- 2:58
- Why you may want to go up a size- 3:46 (NOTE- this episode was recorded over a year ago, so     I talk about going up a half size. Since then I was encouraged to go up a full size and that has eliminated my blisters!)
- Getting good socks- 4:36
- Discussion on cushioning and comfort- 4:55
