P90X "Shoulders & Arms" and "Ab Ripper" workouts. I feel buff now! j/k Ok, so my mom gave me some $ for my birthday to get some new running shoes. I went down to the SL Running Company this morning to see what they had. I took in my old shoes and after doing their little video assessment of me running on the treadmill, the salesman said I had been running in the wrong shoes for the last 8 months! I went to Wasatch Running to get my shoes before and they told me I overpronated and needed a shoe with a lot of stability. The guy at SL Running Co. said I only overpronated slightly and that running in a shoe with too much support could have been making my foot roll out too much and putting too much stress on my IT band. He did say it was unlikely that shoes cause IT band problems, but he said it wouldn't have helped if I was already having issues. So...hopefully after recovering for so long and with some new shoes, I won't have any more pain. Now THAT would be the best birthday present ever!!! |
