  • Specialty running stores such as Village Runner are where you go if you want to get serious about your mileage, learn a lot about technique and have fun while doing it. I've been here twice for shoes, once for myself and the second time with a friend. I was impressed at the professional gait analysis (treadmill), testing for degree of pronation (toes turning in or outward upon footstrike) and catching possible bad habits (potential energy-wasters, especially on longer runs.) A personalized graph and breakdown is then prepared for you, after which you try two or three pairs of the shoes they have in stock for your particular running "style." Since I haven't run competitively since high school, I wasn't surprised to find that a previous training injury I sustained to my left knee has put my natural "alignment" out of wack quite a bit, as the entire right side of my body has been compensating. I also was told that this increases significantly when fatigue sets in, and if I wasn't wearing proper footwear I risked injury. I was feeling SEXY with this newfound knowledge. Walking into a big-name sporting goods retailer with my friend Sid (she was skeptical of why we should drive all the way to Henderson when ____ was Right There). As she was faced with a numbing array of colorful foam rubber, I started throwing out party favorties like "medial lateral post" and "bifurcated arch synergistic paradigms" and the soon-to-pull-a-gat salesgirl was like *looking at non-bald companion* "Miss, this does come in several shades of PINK!" I had to pull the dinner bribe to get us outta there and into Village Runner. The fine folks motivated her so much, she vowed to get off the lame treadmill and onto the roads. Albeit briefly, as it's hot out there. Hopefully we'll be running with the pack training for LVMarathon 2008 come September. The training runs start in front of the shop, where they have a table of energy gels and other products for sampling. Thank you, Village Runner, for the personalized touch and for appealing to this g33k by getting technical about such a simple activity. Putting one foot in front of another just got a whole lot more interesting, and now I know how to do it right and not flail my arms about like a slightly stoned shaolin monk having a bad day. Or Steven Seagal in any of his "chasing the bad guy" scenes.
