after logging a couple of shorter road runs in the skechers gobionic, i thought that i would let you know what my impressions are of these shoes:
you can also read my 'unboxing' review of them in an earlier post.
gotta say that i love my gobionics at this point, and unless some other pair of shoes surprises me these will be my go-to race day kicks for the mississauga marathon.
cry havoc, and let loose the (hot pink) gobionics of war!
i have to give (indirect) credit to my friend trevor morgan who really was the person who introduced me to the idea of 'natural' or 'barefoot' running a little over a year ago. i'm sure that the three races i'd run before that were heel-striking festivals. but ever since he shared with me this video i've been dedicated to a more natural stride:
dr. mark cucuzzella is quite a phenomenal individual, and i can't help but think that what born to run has done for the running community in print he has helped to do in spades for the same community via video.
i also came across this video (isn't YouTube great?) that is equally as helpful and instructional - but i found it after dr. mark's, so it falls to second in priority and preference:
as the post title indicates, these videos have made all the difference in the world to me - in terms of how efficiently i run, how long i plan to run injury-free, and the enjoyment that i can experience in running. watch at your own discretion - once you travel down the rabbit hole, there's no going back.
