Do the folks at Brooks Running think it’s better to listen to music or a podcast when you run, or go “natural” and just listen to your own body?
It redirected me here- so I hope I am leaving the question in the right place!
To Brooks Running: “I love running, but after a few months of doing it consistently I always end up with IT band issues. Do you have any suggestions to prevent this from happening?”
Every time I start seriously getting into running again, my IT band starts aching and I have to stop. Any suggestions to keep that injury at bay?
I’m loving the look of the new Brooks PureProject shoes, but I don’t know which is the best pair for me. Which is the best for great stability and cushion?
I started my running journey wearing Nike Free 2.0 and find anytime I try a shoe with more support I have leg pains. My Nike’s wear out way to fast, is there a Brooks shoe that is similar to the minimalist bare foot running style but still provides support?
I’ve been running competitively for about 7 years now and I’m still having trouble finding one shoe that works well for me. What would you suggest I should do to find the right shoe?
To Brooks Running,
I have very flat feet and hammer toes from my years of bare foot gymnastics and cheerleading in too tight of sneakers. I also have Renaud’s Syndrome and my feet get very cold and turn purple if my shoes are too snug. I would like to start running, but I never can find a good sneaker to give me enough support to complete an effective workout. I find my knees hurt when my shoes do not support my feet enough. What sneaker would you suggest for my situation so that I can feel comfortable and confident when I start running more often?
Katelyn! I have Raynaud’s Syndrome, too! I’ve been wearing Brooks since I started running! I hope the Brook’s staff can help you out!
It directed me back to your page, so I hope this is the right spot!-
Hola, Brooks Running! I’ve signed up for my first FULL marathon on January 13. I am beyond scared and excited at the same time. Do you have any tips for me? I plan to try not to lose any toe nails ;o)

Yep! You are in the right spot! Good luck!
I am running a full marathon on 10/21. I really want to complete an ultra (50k) as well. Do you think doing those two events within a few weeks of each other is too much?
I am just beginning to run, what is better C25K or Jeff Galloway? I have been bouncing between both because C25K seems to move more quickly. Do you know of any other good training programs?
What are the best shoes for plyometric exercise
I used to run every day, right up until my son was born! I’ve been running sporadically over the past year and I just got a jogging stroller last month. I want to get out there more often, but do you have any advice for making running with a jogging stroller easier? Thanks!!
To Brooks running: I am beginning to train for my first marathon. I do nearly all of my long runs on trails and several of my shorter mileage runs on pavement. Should I run in different shoes for each terrain?
I hate running. Absolutely HATE IT. But, I would really like to make it more enjoyable for me. Is there a program for easing myself into a good running routine?
I’m training for my first half-marathon in September – any tips on gear or training? Thanks!
I am tall and have flat feet, so running hasn’t been an activity or first choice even if it always sounds attractive… until I do it, and am reminded that it might not be for me. Why do I find the boredom and uncomfortableness to overpower the adrenaline? When doing kickboxing or zumba, I remain in the happy place for hours. Why running stops it after a few minutes?
What is the hype about the toe shoes? Are they really that much more comfortable onces passed the habit adjustment?
To Brooks Running: I run about 2-3 times a week in order to stay in shape. I usually only buy new running shoes when my old ones are worn out. How often do you suggest to buy new running shows? And what kind do you recommend for people with high arches? Thanks!
What is the best way to deal with minor shin splints? Is stretching, strengthening, and new inserts (arch supports) enough to begin running right away?
How fast do I need to run and how often? I want to make cellulite less visible, and I want to do it in a month. 🙂
From my research, water is cellulite’s worst enemy! Start drinking more water!!
I hate running, It’s a long and boring battle for me. How can I make it more fun for me?
I am very overweight, and I can quite run long distances, do you have any suggestions for a big girl who wants to someday be a runner? How would I get started and used to running?
How do you make running less of a high impact activity?
Do you recommend orthotics to help with ITBS?
What is the best way to segue into half-marathon training after graduating Couch to 5k? I have a goal just no idea how to begin to accomplish it.
I have recently made exercising and eating right my lifestyle and am interested in running some 5ks in the future. What is some advice and how did you know you were ready?
i have flat feet and pretty sure i over pronate. I’m just a beginner and don’t know much about running or form, but I’m afraid I have terrible form since when i try to run for longer my hips start hurting. is this because my body is just not used to running much or does it have something to do with having the right shoes or the right stretches?
my computer glitches and i’m not sure my question posted when i commented on the page the link sent me to….so just in case: i have flat feet and pretty sure i over pronate. I’m just a beginner and don’t know much about running or form, but I’m afraid I have terrible form since when i try to run for longer my hips start hurting. is this because my body is just not used to running much or does it have something to do with having the right shoes or the right stretches?

Do you need to wean into the Pure line of shoes? or can you just switch right over?
to brooks running – what shoes are best for flat feet and bow legs?
Hey Brooks experts! I run in Ravenia 3s and love them. I need the stability, but would like to move to more of a minimal shoe because, well, they come in the coolest colors. If I need stability, is there a minimal shoe that will be comfortable for me and if so, how do I start to make the transition?
I’m starting my Senior year of XC this year, any tips on how I can make this year the best? I have made all state and I’m soooo close to getting the Championship, this year would be the year. Any tips for preseason training?
I love my purple Brooks Connects! In fact I ran my first half marathon in them. How many miles should I expect to get out of them?
I really do hate running. I started running for the past 6 months but never really enjoyed it much!! What can I do to make it more fun?
I am preparing to run my first 5k, what tips what you give me, because I have a meniscus tear in my right knee?
I have high arches and foot pressure what shoes are best?
I’m training for a 10k with a couple busted up knees from my childhood, what kind of exercises can I do to keep them from bothering me while I run?
Running has never come easy to me, after a 5K my body shuts down, any tips on how to run longer?
Is it better to use a trail walking shoe if I like to run the local trails at a park, or is it still better to wear running shoes no matter the surface?
How do I prevent shin splints?
count me in!! Brooks are my favorite. Question: How many miles should someone who is about 200 pounds put on shoes before getting new ones?
