Cheap Running Shoes are Still Good As Expensive Ones

You Can't Judge a Running Shoe by Its Price Tag

Lower-cost running shoes provide as good or better protection for the foot as high-priced shoes, according to investigators here.

Plantar pressure measured using a specially designed insole was not significantly different when wearing shoes that cost less than $100 than it was with shoes that cost more than $150, said Rami J. Abboud, M.D., of the Institute of Motion Analysis and Research at Ninewells Hospital and Medical School here, and colleagues.

The Harder You Run, The Healthier You Become

benefits.

Get out there and run.

Relationship of Running Intensity to Hypertension, Hypercholesterolemia, and Diabetes
October 28, 2008 - Medscape Today - Paul T. Williams

Purpose: To estimate the independent relationships of running intensity with
antihypertensive, LDL-cholesterol-lowering, and antidiabetic medication use
when adjusted for running volume (km·d-1).

Methods: Self-reported medication use was compared cross-sectionally to
running pace (m·s-1 during usual run) in 25,552 male and 29,148 female
National Runners' Health Study participants.

Results: The men ran a mean ± SD of 5.2 ± 3.1 km·d-1 at 3.3 ± 0.5 m·s-1 (8.3
± 1.4 min·mile-1) and the women 4.7 ± 2.9 km·wk-1 at 3.0 ± 0.4 m·s-1 (9.2 ±
1.8 min·mile-1). When adjusted for kilometers per day, each meter-per-second
increment in intensity in men and women reduced the odds for
antihypertensive drug use by 54% and 46%, respectively, reduced the odds for
LDL-cholesterol-lowering medication use by 55% and 48%, respectively, and
reduced the odds for antidiabetic medication use by 50% and 75%,
respectively (all P < r =" 0.55;" r =" 0.49),">

Conclusions: Although these results do not prove causality, they show that
exercise intensity is inversely associated with the prevalence of
hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and diabetes independent of exercise
volume and cardiorespiratory fitness (10-km performance), suggesting that
the more vigorous the exercise, the healthier the health benefits.

Running Maybe the New Drug Fighting Cancer and Heart Disease

I love to run.

I hear a lot of reason why one should not run but this is a great reason to run.

Does Running Slow the Aging Clock?

The Canadian Press – August 12, 2008

Regular running appears to reduce the risk not only of heart disease, but also delay cancer and other illnesses, according to a study that began tracking people over the age of 50 back in 1984. People who ran an average of about four hours a week when the study started were compared with a control group of healthy people who weren't regular runners. After 21 years of follow-up, researchers have found that everyone has more ailments, but the onset of such problems began later for the runners.

Carbohydrate Loading

Here is a great article on Carbohydrate Loading from the Australian Institute of Sport.

If you have any clients that are runners and ask you about carb loading, the information will be helpful to you as they explain what carb loading is and the common errors people make.
