Hi . I started running in february 23 my first mile was a shameful 24min. For the next two weeks I tried harder each time and got it down to about 16min. (mind you i was about 260lbs then) I was running on drivers which are flat shoes but not exactly running shoes , so while looking around for running shoes I came across an article on Fivefingers and I decided to give it them a try, bought a pair took them home tried them for a mile, shaved a minute off , no pain on my knees anymore, kept wearing them on my morning runs after work and every week seemed to get better, last week I ran a mile in less than 9min , I've lost about 20lbs more and I'm doing my first 5k this weekend , I want to do the 10k night run in vegas this december, I want to do a half a marathon by next spring.
I never liked running before.
