I guess this is the new running thread? I need some shoe advice. I only run 3-5 miles at a time 2-3 times a week. Usually about a 9 minute/mile pace with a few 100m strides at the end. I’m not into competing unless it’s against myself and I run on asphalt or sidewalks. I used Brooks Ghosts for a while and then I wanted something different-tried the mizuno wave. Those took some breaking in but they were ok so I went back to the Ghost 12 and they just never felt right to me. I don’t overpronate or have flat feet or high arches-the feet are just pretty average. I’m 5’8” 170 pounds. Lately with the ghosts I’ve been having some pain on the ball of my left foot in the middle, reaching up towards the toes a bit, so I went to look for some new shoes. Here’s my experience: Saucony Triumph 7: didn’t feel much different then the Brooks, but they were new and had some more cushioning, so that was good. New balance Beacon 3: felt GREAT on a decline but felt a little light on the cushioning going uphill. Worried about the longevity of these since it feels like they won’t last long. The main reason I didn’t go for another pair of ghosts was because the pain in the left foot. The only thing I can observe when I run is that my left foot seems to land more in the middle of my foot (between the toes and the heel) than my right foot does (which is a heel strike). If I actively think about it when running, I can heel strike with my left foot, but then a minute later I’m day dreaming and landing on the middle again. I dunno if any of this helps steer me towards a correct shoe or not, but figured I’d give it a shot.
