Nike Shox part deux
And another thing!!! For those of you out there who wear the shoes because you can “feel a noticeable spring in your heel strike and while your running” and your afraid that your going to run slower with out them. I would like to share an idea with you, just a thought.
STOP BEING LAZY AND LEARN HOW TO RUN RIGHT.
That spring is due to YOU relying on an ARTIFICIAL calf and Achilles tendon. Get your legs stronger, increase your flexibility and get out of those shoes. Plus every time you hit the ground, each spring if reacting a little bit differently. Don’t believe me? Stand behind someone squatting with a decent sized weight on their back, i.e. a high percentage of their one rep max, and watch what their heel is doing. Then have them stand on one leg and jump forward onto the other one, again watch what their heel does. It’s all over the place! Well, Mr. Smartypants what do you think your heel is doing when it strikes the ground when your running?
And please for the love of god, stop wearing them while your squatting or dead lifting. I guarantee if you get out of those shoes and stretch your calves a little bit your squat and dead lift will be noticeably easier and more efficient.
