Shoe Recommendation for Heavy Runner

Post by Bert Gang » Sat, 13 Nov 1999 04:00:00


Hello,

A friend of mine, a beginning runner, who weighs
about 225 pounds, is experiencing tightness and
pain in his shins within the first mile of his runs.

He's heard about the Brooks Beast and the New
Balance 586.? Please e mail me directly with any
comments on these shoes or suggestions for shoes
from other manufacturers (Nike, Saucony, Adidas,
etc.).

Thanks in advance,

Bert

Well, I went from 320 down to 275 and still dropping. I like my New
Balance.

Sounds like Shin Splints for him. Tell him to stay off concrete.
