RUNSTART Graduation
June 25, 2010For the last 8 years soundRUNNER has provided programs for individuals to learn to run…alright maybe everyone knows how to run, but it certainly helps those who have been away from running or just needed some motivation or tools to get through the first few weeks. The following is a picture of our newest RUNSTART class…This group just ran their first 5-mile race…The Branford Road Race.
OUR NEXT RUNSTART WILL BE HELD IN OLD SAYBROOK BEGINNING WEDNESDAY, JULY 14 AT 6:30. BELOW ARE A FEW DETAILS, IF YOU NEED FURTHER INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT CHRIS AT 860.388.3800.
RUNSTART offers an introduction into running. This 12-week program meets on Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. in our soundRUNNER Old Saybrook location and will focus on a gradual transition from walking to running. The program is designed to give individuals the tools to be a successful runner all the while improving fitness and promoting a healthy lifestyle. The individual “runner” will be provided a day-to-day schedule of runs. Classes will be held on Wednesdays by coaches that will supply you with tools to become a successful “runner.”
PREREQUISITE: This class is designed for individuals who can currently walk for 30 minutes briskly. Additionally, you should be in good physical health and have approval and support from your doctor.
FEE: $150.00
CLASS STRUCTURE: Class size is limited so that we can provide the individuals with as much support as they go through this program.

Minimalist Footwear
June 11, 2010
My gentle readers may be surprised to learn that the minimalist movement in footwear design dates back at least 5500 years, when middle-distance runners in present-day Armenia developed the forerunner to the Nike Free, depicted at left. Several advanced features are readily apparent: first is the use of asymmetrical lacing, anticipating the Asics Kinsei. Next is the low profile of the midsole, made of grass with an Asker durometer measure of approximately 45 degrees, compression-molded by the foot to a 5mm midsole gradient. The grass also performs as a replaceable sockliner.
This shoe is designed for the efficient runner who tends to under-pronate. Note the absence of a medial post. The heel clutch system replaces the traditional heel counter, removing weight from the shoe. The design clearly promotes a smooth transition from mid-foot stance to the propulsion phase of the gait cycle, and equally clearly favors a ball-heel-ball footstrike pattern.
This particular shoe is a men’s US Size 5.5 EU 37 EE, designed to accommodate a foot with hallux valgus, clearly indicated in the wear pattern by the displacement of the first metatarsal-phalangial joint toward the midline of the body, and the consequent displacement of the great toe away from the midline. A more complete description of the shoe can be found at the following NPR link: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=127627752&sc=ipad&f=1001

ASICS Gold Meeting
June 3, 2010Bob and I have traveled to Austin to participate what is our 6th (I think) Gold Meeting. We have had the privilege to travel to many fine cities…Memphis, Lake Tahoe, Palm Springs, Monterey, Boston…also one in New Jersey. So now Austin, our 7th.
We love coming to these meetings because we have an opportunity to meet other specialty running companies, discuss the ASICS products and how to be a better merchant for our customers.
We also get a chance to meet with some spectacular athletes such as; Billy Mills, Ryan Hall, Dan Patrick, Bob Babbitt and this year Deena Kastor.
Tomorrow we get a chance to see footwear, apparel and accessories for Spring 2011. So, if any of you are looking for something special or want me to pass along a message to ASICS, let me know.
