GET THE RIGHT SHOES

-

Trail and road running are two different events and your ankles and knees will love you for it if you invest in a good pair of shoes. Road running shoes are designed for flat surface contact and trail shoes provide the additional support needed to stabilise your ankles when running on rough terrain or uneven surfaces.

If you are looking for high-quality running shoes on a budget, then make sure you visit the factory stores at the end of the month; there are always 30% or more off their already discounted prices. Sure, the design might be last season, but you get a quality trail shoe for almost half the price. If you are really serious about getting into fitness and trail running then I would most certainly suggest you visit a profession­al and trusted shoe shop like The Sweat Shop who will measure, track and monitor your gait and then recommend the right shoe for your frame and running style.

Reward yourself for every five trail runs. Allow yourself to buy a stunning top and pants. You need to play these little games with yourself to make sure you keep your goals in check; to become fitter, healthier, more confident and sexier in a bikini.
