Hi All
I've just started training for my 1st tri and have realised that my old (non-running specific) trainers just aren't cutting it.
Can anyone recommend a good pair or brand of ladies running shoes for training on road surfaces with good shock absorbsion as I've started to get slight pain in my knees. There's too much info on the web on what to buy so any help will be great.
Thanks
Bev

I would personally recommend asics for training, as they are very well cushioned and so are great for running on tarmac. But again it does depend on what your feet are like, because the other two big manufacturers for running shoes brookes and saucrony can offer wider shoes if you have a wide forefoot. again, best off going to a proper running shop so they can measure you.
In my opinion stay away from nike, as they are rubbish shoes and don't provide for overpronators and for anyone other than neutral, there is also mizuno who provide some decent shoes such as the wave precision.
Definitely get yourself to a speciaslist running store for investigation into your running style. You won't regret it.
I've never even considered how I walk or run so this is all very new.
