PRACTICAL INFORMATION: RUNNING SHOES, CLOTHING, RUNNING APPS ETC.

Running is one of the most simple and effective form of excercise.  You can practically run anywhere and all you need is a pair of shoes and ordinary clothing.  Tony and I ran in Utah in 26 degrees (with Dr. Neibauer) temperature and the following week in Arizona in 94 degrees heat.  It was an amazing  experience to view the majestic mountains with snow caps and the desert terrain all within a couple of days.  While running/walking is done a lone, most excercisers enjoy having a "support team" as they go through the training.  So ask a co-worker or a friend to join you in this journey.

In choosing the shoes, the design of the shoe should match the function and shape of your feet.  This will help with your performance, reduce blisters, foot fatigue and injuries. The staff at a good running store can offer the best advice for you.  I really like the folks at Sport Basement in San Jose for running shoes and apparel.  Training Apps can be very useful and motivational in your training.  There are several 5K training Apps available at no cost to you online ie couch to 5K workout.  Clothing: comfort above all.  On most days, a pair of shorts and a T-shirt are fine.  As you get more into running, you will find outfits that make you feel better and motivate you to get in your run even on bad weather days.
