Im wanting to do start doing a couple of short runs a week, mornings, round brockwell park. Just to get a bit more fitness/drop some pounds really. I've got a pair of saucany (Triax's?) which i did a bit of running in a couple years ago and they seemed comfy enough then. As im literally starting from scratch, i'm gonna start off 5-10mins walking, then build into a jog , mainly run on grass i think and then have a good stretch off back at the house. I don't have the best knees in the world, currently weigh 14.5 stone and im 6ft, im a bit overweight, but i have big thigh muscles etc! I was wondering about this whole barefoot thing (dont wanna go literally barefoot round brixton - dont know what you might step on!). If im starting off slow and steady, would it do my knees etc a bit better to use a conventional running shoe, or i liked the idea of the super flexy Nike Free 3.0?
Thoughts please!?
