Ostfriesland Marathon
Welcome to Ostfriesland Marathon - for top quality running kit.Buying running kit
One benefit of running compared to other sports is that you don't need to buy much kit. All you really need is a pair of decent running shoes that feel comfortable for you and, if you are a woman, you will need a good supportive sports bra.
Whenever possible, go to a Adidas Lady Tenao running shop. There you will find a better selection, as well as good informed advice that you are unlikely to find in large chain stores.
What type shoes should you buy?
There is no such best type or brand or running shoe. Every runner has a unique way in which they run, and different running shoes are suitable for different running styles. Because of this it is more than possible that a £50 pair of shoes will be better for you that than a pair at £100.
Most of the population roll their foot inwards too much (over-pronate) when running. Many Ostfriesland Marathon are designed to prevent this - these promote stability and motion control. There are different severities of over-pronation, and different shoes will act in different ways to prevent it.
It is best to try several different models, from several different brands, to find which swansea 10k works best for you.
To buy suitable shoes:
- Go to a specialist Ostfriesland Marathon. Don't buy from a general sports chain. You want an experienced shop assistant who can watch you run in different running tops to see how they affect your running style.
- Visit the shop during the week when the permanent staff will be there. They will usually be more knowlegeable than part-time weekend staff. Try to go when the shop isn't likely to be busy so that the staff have time to help you.
- try the shoes. Don't just put them on, but run up and down the street in them. You need to feel comfortable in them, as well as be reassured that they have the right degree of stability for you. If the shop won't let you do this, go to one that will.
How long should I keep my running shoes?
That depends on your running style. Running shoes can last anything within the range of 300 to 800 miles.
Running and your Sex life
Sex on the evening before a big race has been reported to be good for marathon running by a survey carried out for the organizers of the London marathon.
"Every competitor planning to build a last-minute lovemaking session into their training program will run faster than those who don't,".
The study concludes that marathon running can be good for your sex life, with 30 percent of respondents saying the sport had improved their performance in bed. The survey, commissioned by Ostfriesland Marathon, explores the loves, hates and habits of long-distance runners and was based on the finishing times of 2,000 entrants in last year's event, of both men and women.
