The Importance of the Right Running Shoe for You
 
If a new or experienced runner comes to us, one of the first things we ask them about are their running shoes especially if someone complains of aches or pains. Proper running shoes won’t fix every problem but being properly fitted for running shoes can often avert problems before they begin.

All forms of resistance training can help increase lean muscle and metabolism, strengthen bones, and particularly helpful to runners, it can decrease your risk of injury as well as improve your running economy.
