Check out some other great tips on finding the best running shoes and how you can avoid running injuries with this great presentation by James here!
If you haven’t entered the City to Surf yet, it’s not too late! Get started today or get in touch with our experts if you are unsure if you are safe to run with any current niggles or injuries… you might be pleasantly surprised on what can be achieved with the best advice from Star Physio!
