So to actually get moving people tell me that one of the first things to do is to: 1. read lots on running, 2. get good gear and most importantly, 3. get going! :)
So to start out I googled lots of great blogs and sites to help me get started and provide info on getting started (a couple links posted on the right and I'll be sure to add more soon). RunningRonald.nl is a great Dutch blog with loads of useful info and links, as is runinfo.nl and a couple others. I also got my first book on running: "Run training: From jogging to Marathon" by Paul van den Bosch. Its an excellent reference to get started, what gear to get, how to avoid injuries, scheme's and schedules, nutrition, etc.
So my absolute first step was to visit Jack Rabbit, a super good runningstore while I was in NYC on 14th street. Great advise and a professional staff. They put me on a treadmill and recorded how I run to see what shoes I needed. Really took the time to give advise and let me try shoes. The fourth pair finally felt good, so.....drum rolls please..... it's my pleasure to present to you my first brand spanking new pair of Adidas Supernova's!
