go to a specialty store and get the right running shoes for your feet.

as far as it all goes though, practice your transitions and be prepared for your races and you will be ahead of a lot of the other athletes. if you can cut down your transition times, you will also be a lot more productive in your races. but in all reality, just give it a whirl man

Cramps/muscle pain when road running

Hello folks,

I have been doing a lot of running lately on the road, getting myself in shape for military basic training in 4 weeks.

I have gone from 89.6kg weight, to 82.4kg in a matter of weeks after changing my diet. I know have bran flakes for breakfast with 1% milk, fruit or veggie salad for lunch and dinner is mostly salad from my own yard with grilled fish,chicken or steak.
