Did my first ever 10k at 36:24. I can't express how much I hate that distance. Totally tanked it by the end and my heart was pounding out of my chest. Much MUCH prefer 1/2 and up, even if it takes all damn day.

 Re: OS Running Thread
 
 At this point in my running cycle, I don't participate in anything less than a half-marathon. I find it hard to justify running that distance and paying $30.Comment

 Re: OS Running Thread
 
 Just started running again as a companion to the new diet I'm on, and I needed some new shoes. So I went to the local running store for some advice, did a gait analysis, tried on multiple pairs, etc. Came home with a pair of Asics that felt really good at the store (did jogging there to make sure). It's part of their maximum stability line, because I have really low arches and I overpronate a lot.
 
 Problem is, I went for my first run in them earlier today and my problem with arch pain is still there. Only able to do about 2 miles now (out of shape), but my arches were on fire. I'm planning on heading back to the store tomorrow to talk to them about it, see what I can do to prevent some of that. But I was wondering if any of you guys had any advice you could offer?Comment

 Ever try running barefoot? I have heard it is a really good way for flat footed runners to strengthen their feet.Just started running again as a companion to the new diet I'm on, and I needed some new shoes.

 That sounds amazing, good luck!
 
 Sunday I will be running on a huge hill. Matt Forte works out on a hill somewhere in the suburbs of Chicago and I was finally able to locate the park!Comment

 Good luck, Macho!
 
 Hills are a great workout. I am getting ready to incorporate my sprint and hill work into my exercise routine. I'll still run my 4-6 miles a couple of times a week, but need to change things up a little.Currently Playing:

 Re: OS Running Thread
 
 I hear ya, I usually only incorporate biking into my routine. However, I am trying to become more well rounded so I did some swimming, plyo box sets and jumped rope the other day.Comment

 Re: OS Running Thread
 
 I started a cycling/mountain biking/commuting thread a week ago but got all of one reply. I haven't been out much this year due to starting a new job and trying to move, but am trying to go at least once of the weekend. It definitely is nice to incorporate that into my exercise routine.Currently Playing:

 Re: OS Running Thread
 
 Just got an email from a race organizer for my last race saying I won 250 Euros! ($320). Result! I definitely don't and never will see running as a job but it is nice to be thrown some extra money.Comment

 Re: OS Running Thread
 
 Any recommendations on some shoe inserts for general athletic use? I used these in the past - http://www.drscholls.com/Products/ActiveSeriesInsoles but wanted to see if anyone else had some input to give. I am actually putting them in a pair of $60 cleats I wear when playing Ultimate.Comment
