What you mean to say is you'd rather sit at home watching lucha undergroundyeah that's it for me too. I'd rather do repeat sprints than jogging

You need to be fitted by someone who knows what they are doingI only ever run on road/concrete and have worried about the effect that would have on my knees and ankles.
Can anyone suggest some good running shoes to use on such hard surfaces?
what sane man wouldn't? violencccccceWhat you mean to say is you'd rather sit at home watching lucha underground
contrary to what Big Shoe would have you believe, either barefoot or unpadded shoes are best. Forces you to use proper running technique where you engage the muscles in your foot and ankle instead of flopping your feet down and letting the joints wear it all.I only ever run on road/concrete and have worried about the effect that would have on my knees and ankles.

Yeah but it hurts like hell when you step on a bottle top and there is always this ........contrary to what Big Shoe would have you believe, either barefoot or unpadded shoes are best.

Yes, your feet will hurt like **** for the first few months but bear with it. Keep your distances relatively low and allow yourself recovery. Slowly build up but don't overly pressure yourself - just consistently get out there.
Pretty quick mate so you can obviously runI've lost my mojo and am currently nursing a foot injury.
Once I'm back in the swing of things hoping to beat my half marathon PB at the Great Scottish in October and duck under 1:30. Depending on how my running goes once I'm over my injury I might look at the Loch Ness Marathon in September.
I have heard this from my sister's husband too - he's a big marathon runner and runs on the roads of Dubai, and even he advices barefoot or these basic flip flopscontrary to what Big Shoe would have you believe, either barefoot or unpadded shoes are best.

In all honesty, I am not sure about thatI have heard this from my sister's husband too - he's a big marathon runner and runs on the roads of Dubai, and even he advices barefoot or these basic flip flops
Problem is I am never going to make running my main sport, but I'm just doing it to build cardio for Cricket and MMA. So I do not want to go through that period of pain in order to adjust to it, as it will negatively impact the sports I do want to get good at in the meanwhile, thus defeating the purpose of going running in the first place.
I do want to eventually run a marathon at some point tho, so I guess when that time comes I can begin by first training with unpadded shoes (or barefoot if the surfaces are good enough) in order to get the form correct and the right muscles engaged before training for the marathon itself.
just take it easy on the distances then. The adjustment period will be worth avoiding all sorts of other **** later in life.I have heard this from my sister's husband too - he's a big marathon runner and runs on the roads of Dubai, and even he advices barefoot or these basic flip flops

that's not true at allunfortunately feet don't have as much money as nike to invest in research /takedownbigshoe
humans are the only animal to stick pieces of carpet on their feet, and funnily enough the only animals to suffer from this range of running related issues.
Tigers in Africa would be newsworthy for sure.that's not true at all
"zebra steps on stone at full gallop, gets stone bruise, goes lame, bruise gets infected, zebra can barely walk and is eaten by tiger" just isn't particularly newsworthy
that and ancient humans never had to run on roads/footpaths.
zebras have hooves last time I checkedthat's not true at all
