These shoes are AMAZING... I "grew up" wearing the brooks beast, then recently switched to the GEL-Evolution 6 to save a few bucks for almost the same performance. Then when they discontinued the Evolution 6, I was stuck looking for another shoe that would handle my severe over-pronation and hold up under my large frame (6'2", 260#) I almost went back to wearing those bricks with strings so aptly called "the beast" but then I found out about the GEL Kayano...

I honestly expected to be disappointed by these shoes, but I have never been so happy to be WRONG!!! Not only do I get the support i need to prevent injuries, but they are SO LIGHT and COMFORTABLE!!! The only reason I can think of to ever try another shoe is if I decide to try minimalist running shoes!!!

All around GREAT shoe!!!

Excellent fit, lightweight. Went to the store and only was offered one color of the Kayano 19. I was surprised to find the variety of colors available when I visited the site on line. I will buy this brand on line from now on.

After only a few runs, these seem comparable to the GT21xx line of shoes I had been using. The color scheme is very cool as well.

This model is definitely my favorite running shoe from Asics. It is well cushioned and light. The upper part of the shoe isn't as stiff as the Cumulus or the 2100 series I have also run in, which I much prefer.

Its fit right on my leg. I run with it several runs 4-6 miles and its feels great. Only one think I didn't like that this shoe is litle bit worm (compare to my a favorites addidas shoes) so its better for cold seasons

Most expensive pair of shoes I've ever purchased - and well worth it. I was skeptical price made a difference in footwear for causal use.

I did not need stability - I needed cushioning.

Feet no longer hurt after a day of standing.

I'm hoping that they'll loosen a little. If not I'll give them away. It is my first mzuno shoes and I don't think I'll buy any more.
Maybe I'll loose some weight in my feet. Live and learn. Ron

Running Tips - Beating Treadmill Boredom

By Judy Mick

Running on a treadmill is something that runners may find themselves doing. There are several reasons to take running inside to a treadmill. Some of the biggest reasons are safety during the winter icy weather, comfort during super cold wind chill days and when you are recovering from an injury. Here are some tips to fight the boredom that may come from running on a treadmill.

Yes, running on a treadmill is something that can be very helpful and can keep you safe and warm. But, the reality is that sometimes it can be boring. If you are used to running outside and seeing the sights - staying in one place can drive you crazy. One of the things that may be possible is to position your treadmill by a window. By doing this, you can still see what is going on outside.

Another thing that you can do is to make sure that you have your treadmill positioned in front of a television. This is how I survive most of my treadmill runs. You can lose yourself in one of your favorite shows or a ballgame and you'll be surprised how fast the time will go by.

Also, you can listen to a book on your mp3 player. This is another great way to get your mind busy on something else besides the treadmill. I don't have books downloaded to my mp3, but I do have my tablet with my Kindle app with me sometimes when I run. There's a place on my treadmill where it sits perfectly!

A good hill or speed work out will also help you get lost in your run - and forget where you are running. Start by an easy warm up mile and then go for a certain interval at a certain incline or a certain speed. Then, ease your treadmill back down for recovery and then do it again. A good hill workout - is to go up a certain amount of an incline (can be from .5% - 1%) until you work up to your goal incline. Then bring the treadmill back down to 0 or 1 for recovery and then do it again. This really will help the time fly by.

You can do the same thing with your speed levels for your speed interval workout. Or you can just have a goal speed and go straight to that for so long - and then back to your recovery speed. Either way is a great speed workout!

Treadmill running is something that does not have to be boring. And, sometimes it's a great way to get your run in when you may have not done so otherwise.

8 Running Tips To Boost Your Motivation

By Daniel Nenkov

Running is simple. You don't need a room full of equipment or a team in order to run. But sometimes it is harder to get out of the door and run. Here is a list of 8 simple tricks that may come handy when the pint of ice cream is calling your name from the fridge.

Wear your black toenails as badges of honor. Congrats! Your bruised nails are hard earned trophies. However, that doesn't mean that you have to flash them to everyone you meat. Keep 'em private.

Make early morning appointments with your friends. Waking up for an early run can be tough. Have a few drinks the night before and the odds of your rolling out of bed and pulling on your shoes at 6 am approach laughable.

Unless you've promised to meet someone.

I cannot tell you exactly how many morning runs I've missed, but I've never missed an appointment with my buddies. And neither have they.

Just run around the block if you don't feel like running. 9 out of 10 times you will run more than you thought. It's just like flossing - all you need to do is to commit that you'll floss one tooth every day. I guarantee you'll floss the whole mouth every time.

Sign up for a race to get instant motivation. Registering for an event that is 8, 12 or 20 weeks away is the single most effective way to motivate yourself to get out there and run.

Want an easy way to get even more motivated? Sign up with a friend or a group of friends. Bingo! Now all you've got to do is train.

Become a member of a local running club. I am a member of a local club and don't know it's name. Seriously. My membership gives me a discount at some local races and 10% off at the local running store. I never get advantage of those perks, but even without them I will still my my $20 yearly membership. Why? Because my running club is full of really nice people and it makes me feel good to be a small part of that.

Remind yourself there will always be someone slower than you. Don't be afraid that you are not the fastest runner. That's the cool thing about running. There will always be someone slower than you... and someone faster, of course.

Having million things to do is an excuse for running, not an argument against it. There are many excuses to skip a run, but being busy is just not one of them. You ask why? Because taking 30 mins to run will help you organize your thoughts and clear your head. It's better than sipping another cup of coffee or even taking a nap.

Rest is training too. Sometimes you really don't feel like running and even Tony Robins cannot make you get off the couch and do your training. Don't worry too much. Your body needs to recover and it is perfectly fine to miss a training every once in a while.

Marathon Running Tips - It's Alright To Be A Beginner More Than Once

By Judy Mick

There are so many runners out there who may have run many miles and completed in several marathons. Then, sometimes life happens and they either have to stop running for a while or they are unable to run the miles that they are accustomed to running. When they decided to start putting in the miles again - they really need to start back as a beginner again.

Here's what I mean by that. When you are training for a marathon - you have to plan out a running schedule for 16 to 18 weeks ahead of the race itself. This is to get you trained well and to put in the mileage needed to complete the marathon. These schedules are usually planned for "beginner", "intermediate" or "advanced". Each is made to build mileage and endurance according to your fitness level.

Many runners who have run marathons in the past - have a time off - and decide to start training again may decide that they want to use an intermediate or advanced level. However, this may not be the smart thing to do. Especially if they have not run much in a year or so.

In this case, they need to put their ego behind them and use a beginner plan. Doing this is a way to start back slowly for their training and will help them to keep from getting injured. This will help them to only add 10% to their mileage weekly (which is what is recommended to do it correctly).

Starting with a more aggressive plan that they are probably not ready for may do one of two things. They will get injured before they even get to the starting line because they are trying to do too much, too soon. Or, they will get frustrated because they can't keep up with the training and may stop running again.

Starting again with a beginner plan will get them to the starting line and ready to run. After completing that marathon - then they can get back into running the way that they used to do. Then, they can plan for another marathon and use an intermediate schedule if they want to improve their times.

It's exciting to be getting back into running again after "life" gets in the way. The important thing is to train for the first marathon to finish it and to get your confidence back. Then, you can keep going from there!
