Need New Running Shoes? What are you wearing now?

It's is important to replace your running shoes every 500km (6 - 12 months) or less if you are an avid runner!

Right now Running Room (Denman location only) is clearing out last years models until May 10th. Keep in mind sizes are limited. Nothing much under the size of 7.5 so if you want a good deal (most under $60), do it quick!

Below are a few models on sale that I recommend both for comfort and stability. Perfect for running and cross training at bootcamp. I have personally owned and trained in the Hurricane (top pick) and Ascend - you can see my personal comments below.

Saucony Hurricane 10
Industry leading pronation control. High end responsive cushioning. Supreme midfoot fit through Saucony arch-lock system. Light weight for a stability shoe. The Hurricane is a great indoor/outdoor road shoe - it offers mild-moderate stability without compromising flexibility!

Saucony Pro-Grid Omni 
Offers a good blend of cushioning and support for the moderate overpronator. Good durability for higher mileage running.

Mizuno Ascend (trail shoe)
Surprisingly comfortable for a trail shoe, good bounce, great stability, good grip on slippery terrain, good tread in that stones do not get trapped. Also great on mixed terrain - road/trail. The Ascend is comfortable considering the excellent stability it offers. Although, I would keep these for the trail though as they not as flexible as the Hurricane or Omni when it comes to long distance running but if you are strictly using these for bootcamp, then these may be a good choice if you overpronate, and/or  run regularly on rugged terrain.


Another great option is New Balance.
If you shop at their Concept Store and mention your a Cardio-Core Client you'll receive a 15% discount!
