^asics is the most popular among runners. they say it provides the best support, flexibility, and cushion.
when it comes to choosing the right shoes, it all boils down to what suits you. if so far you're not having any problems with the pair of rbks, it's probably the best for you.

here are the current top 3 most popular/best selling running shoes:
1. ASICS® Men's GEL-Kayano® XII


2. New Balance Men's M992 Running Shoe


3. ASICS® Men's Gt 2120


how unfortunate. with your cellphone, that is. there is actually a courtesy booth inside where you can safely leave ur stuff.

@tagatisa, 760mmHg thanks.

right now i'm contemplating of changing my running technique. when i was just starting i took the advice of a friend to do the bounce and swing but i notice that it didnt do good with my shin. i think my shin took the impact of the fall that it gets sore after every run.

I have another friend who told me to try strutting, which means to bend the knees a little, avoid the end of the foot landing first and use the calf and knees to propel forward. I'll give it a try tomorrow if this one will work.

sir peacemaker, this might help you, got this from BBC Sport website:

All accomplished and elite runners run on the balls of their feet.
The foot should strike the surface with the ball of the foot, in a dorsiflexed position (with toes pointing forward not downwards) otherwise this creates a" breaking" motion.
The heel doesn't touch the ground.
The foot on landing on the surface should be "light" not heavy, it then "grips and scrapes" the surface.
The knee is slightly bent on contact with the surface and the foot lands below the centre of gravity - just below the hips.
Think of your leg working in a circular motion from the hip joint.
This brings the heel of the foot behind the body. The hamstrings and gluteus maximus (backside muscles) play a very big part in this movement.
The thigh moves forward with the action of the quads and hip-flexors, the leg is extended and the foot drops again, landing on the ball of the foot as above.
We call this cycling the leg!
The hips and waist should be steady without a lot of side to side movement.
The back should be straight and relaxed, not bent at the waist.
The shoulders should be relaxed, The arms should be bent at approximately 90 degrees and the motion should be from the shoulder not the forearms.
As the arm moves back it should continue to stay in 90 degree flexion.
The hands should be held with the palm facing inwards not down. If you prefer to hold your hands in a fist, the thumb should rest on the forefinger.
The head should be up with your eyes looking ahead not down.
Try not to think about the movement too much. Instead try to feel the cycling motion, and visualise it in your mind while you're running. You will know when you have got it right, you will be able you feel it.
