"Helping The World DISCOVER THE WAY of LOVE!"

First some history ¨C I¡¯d relied Nike Air Max 1 Essential France strictly on Asics Gel-1060¡¯s (and its successors) and a couple of Nike models to get me to this point. I started my running with Asics ¨C I mean who hasn¡¯t heard about the Gel technology, and the 1060¡¯s seemed like the ¡°entry point¡± for the line. I didn¡¯t think about the fact they are designed for stability, and whether I needed such stability or not. They worked fine, but were a little heavy. So, when I planned my first marathon (and the next several after that), I wanted a lighter shoe to provide a little boost, even if only mentally. I think they offered less stability than the Asics but with decent cushioning ¨C but who knows. They worked, and I reached my first BQ in 2002 at Chicago using them.

I¡¯ve now run almost 50 miles in the Nike Pegasus 31, and overall I have to say I¡¯m incredibly impressed. By specs, the Peg 31 is very much a conventionally structured running shoe with a lot of cushion. My size 10 pair weighs in at just over 10.5 oz, and Running Warehouse lists the stack a t 31mm heel, 18mm forefoot (the 4-5 mm thick insole adds a bit more to that) Note that Nike claims 10mm drop for the Peg ¨C I had a hard time measuring due to the integrated upper liner so could not confirm, but I think it¡¯s higher than 10mm. In any case, the Peg 31 is probably the highest drop shoe that I¡¯ve put this many miles on since 2009-2010.

I¡¯ll let Greg tell his story in his own words, but I¡¯ll add that if you want to read more about his running adventures, you can check out his blog, Predawn Runner.

I¡¯d heard that the Peg 31 addressed this (and reduced the drop to 10 mm) so I stopped by my local running store to try them on and assess for myself ¨C wound up buying a pair and ran 6.5 miles in them yesterday (having a new run specialty store in town has been bad for my wallet!). It¡¯s a beautiful shoe with an impressive upper (the interior has a seamless liner that is very nice). Still more sole than I typically care for, but I had a solid first run. The shoe still has a soft heel, but the forefoot does feel firmer and had no noticeable issues with medial midsole caving.

I actually bought a pair of the Peg 29 earlier this year for a consulting project and wound up running in them a few times. Though they are more shoe than I typically wear, I actually enjoyed the ride since the very soft sole works well with my stride. My main problem with the Peg 30 was that the forefoot was so soft that my feet tended to cave th Nike Air Max Thea Femme France e medial midsole as I reached max pronation (this led to abrasion on the ball behind my big toe).

I don¡¯t know of anyone who hasn¡¯t wanted to fly like Michael at one point or another. You start to wonder if he has jet packs in those shoes of his. Spike Lee even asked the question. But as Jordan has pointed out in a very pointed ad, it was never the shoes. His success was based on many, many hours of practice. So it is with running. Practice builds strength, speed, an Nike Air Max 1 Pas Cher Soldes d endurance. Practice improves form and lowers the risk of injury.
