Why it's important to shop at Marathon Sports @Marathon_Sports @csteverun @MSteamsales
The importance of supporting local, many of us find it convenient to shop online. Everything you desire is just a click away. Yes they're are many companies that participate in community events but does that effort impact you directly ?
Marathon Sports was founded in 1975, in a renovated first floor apartment in Harvard Square. Over the last thirty years Marathon Sports have built a world class brand, impacting the running community nationwide and especially here in Massachusetts. Yes it is tempting to order from Amazon, but I encourage you to spend your hard earn dollars with Marathon Sports, especially if you are from and reside in the New England Area.
As runners it's imperative that you get "The Right Fit", a bio-mechanical analysis in the shoe selection process". Expert in the stores are there to assist you identifying and selecting the right running shoes during and easy stress free experience. The wrong footwear can cause injury the right footwear can prevent injuries.
The money spent at Marathon Sports, goes right back into the Community, " All of our stores have strong ties to do our local communities", by hosting in stores events, weekly running clubs, pub runs, shopping nights, products launch events plus many more are all an integral part of the fabric of our the 12 cities and towns they serve here in Massachusetts.
For me personally I have had first hand experience with Marathon Sports, as a Head Coach of BPS XC plus West Roxbury TF (Indoor & Outdoor) teams, they are very influential and make their presence known, as I see the banner through out MSTCA events in the academic calendar year. Special salute to Stephen Infascelli, since I have been embraced into the Coaching fraternity here in Massachusetts @csteverun has been a supporter of the BPS XC Team. Last XC season during the Frank Kelley Meet, right before my team was about to run "Infa" came up to me said come by the tent I got something for your team.
Also a close peer of mine Head Coach Dennis Sheppard of the Marshfield Rams Boys TF/XC Program has joined the Marathon Sports Team Sales. Infa x Shepp are household names in the running community, two men I value that they are in my life, amazing runners during high school and college careers and now they are paying it forward through their involvement in the running community. Guys like this are the reason's why Massachusetts has a rich running history, why Marathon Sports is amazing, their are experts who understand the in's and outs of being a runner on every level. #Blessed #FossFamily
You wear your shoes too long.
Most running shoes have a lifespan of between 300 and 500 miles, but many runners either don’t keep track of mileage. That, or they throw caution to the wind and wear out their pair.
Wearing out shoes can lead to injury. According to Ken Larscheid, owner of Running Lab in Pinckney, Michigan, a tell-tale sign for replacing your pair is when you get unusual aches and pains in certain areas. “A lot of people who come in and feel pain or soreness don’t even question the age of their shoes,” says Larscheid. “What we suggest at the store is overlapping them a little bit.”
Introducing a new pair before your current pair wears out will help you ease into new shoes as you ease out of your old ones. Other indicators to start changing out include worn, smooth grooves at the bottom of your shoes and uneven foam on one side of the shoe, meaning the sole is no longer level. via Runners World

Never thought I would be a sneaker head but by default it's important to switch the trainers your using and rotate the pairs of sneakers while training. Experts have different schools of thoughts but most people say sneakers start to wear down after 200-400 Miles. I decided that it's time that I need to look into some new footwear.
I am not trying to get blinded by popularity of a brand or even Political affiliations, just need the best trainers for me. Currently New Balance has gotten my eye and what's there not to like about the Fresh Foam Zante V3 Boston . I already purchased the Fresh Foam Vongo's and they have been working excellent. I know it's not just the sneaker because it's the tedious task of Yoga, Foam Rolling, and Stretching that allows me to make this far. The homie Coach Dennis Sheppard of Marshfield XC & TF had been sporting these puppies and gave nothing but good reviews. These are defintely next up for me
I have been stopping at the New Balance Outlet in Brighton, Massachusetts and noticed the Fresh Foam 1080V7 NYC Half. Conducting my shoe research I found these below and couldn't help not to place these on my wish list.
These are tough, plus Brooklyn is my favorite area in NYC, check out Fresh Foam 1080V7 Brooklyn Half
These will be for personal use thou I can't deny these are simply dope.. Sharing is caring the name of this particular sneaker is Fresh Foam Zante V3 Ball Park and can be purchased here
