5 Things: Choosing New Running Sneaks
Finding the right sneaker is kind of like finding a good boyfriend. Running shoes should be comfortable, practical, and not too flashy. Here are some tips on finding the right shoe for you.
Running: Treat Your Feet Right With Quality Sneakers
One of the reasons I love running is that it really requires no special gear. You just need a body and a desire to run. Then again, you might not need a racquet or clubs to go for a good jog, but I would suggest quality running shoes.

Running 101: Negative Splits
There's a bunch of jargon associated with running, which is ironic since it is one of the easiest forms of exercise to do — just lace up your shoes and go. One term to add to your list of fitness terms is "negative splits," which means running faster for the second half of your run or race than you did for the first half. This increase in speed puts you in the negative in terms of time, but here are a couple of positives for doing so.
Good News Bears
Finally, some good news. If you have a subscription to WWD, you probably wake up every day to another company reporting negative profits. After months and months, it's quite the downer.

If the Shoe Fits, Make Sure it Fits The Sport
Shopping for sneakers is never an easy situation. There are tons of shoes available (in all shapes and forms) and sneakers are one pair of shoes that you should not pick based on looks. Just because the shoe fits properly, does not always mean it's going to meet your needs.
