Both outdoor and treadmill running shoes. I don't like the treadmill, I don't use it much. For warming up maybe. But it's a good alternative if you don't like going outside when it's freezing or raining.
I don't really do 10k. I run distances up to 5k, which is enough for a soccer player. Given the fact that you run 5k at a reasonable pace, I pick up my feet pretty fast. I don't like running shoes that offer a lot of support and cushioning because they mess up my running form. They make me overstride and such, because I don't "feel" what I am doing, if that makes any sense.

no, i get what you mean, i used to use a pair of really thin-soled Adidas trainers for running but when i was running rond Arthurs seat i felt every single stone in the ground and my form must have been poor as i suffered from shin-splints, since using a proper running shoe that decreased. again though, its all a matter of comfort in eac person
that said i have now started cycling again instead of running so that i can cycle to-and-from work and try and burn some fat
tampon? my missus uses lil-ets and swears by them

..***..Thing is they're only suitable for one type of running. Most shoes are like that though. There's a huge debate on heelstriking, midfootstriking and forefootstriking and all I know is that I don't feel comfortable heelstriking and that it really hurts my knees. This is why a lot of running shoes who force me to run that way hurt. But there's a lot of conflicting ideas and if you for example feel more comfortable heelstriking, who am I to say it's wrong? But if you do heelstrike, the H Street is obviously not your shoe.
So let's have some figure people...what are you benching, squatting and dead lifting at the moment? 110kg, 120kg and 125kg respectively...need to add another 10 prob for each one but not bad overall I think for my weight (75kg)...felt pretty good recently in training...able to keep down people when rolling fairly easily...
What was your regime? How many sets and reps did you do? The thing with squats as Im sure you know is the form. It is one of the most difficult compound movements to do correctly but also the most important one....my gym does not have a squat rack which is annoying but if you put some sort of support just above your uncle when you go down you could lean on it for a bit while moving up again...it's preferable to do it without but it helps in the beginning.
My technique is great. I lifted with the American football players at my school when I was in high school running track. So it's built over a long period of time, I don't even need a belt or a bitch pad anymore.
Basically I warm up with 135lbs and do that 16 times. Then I go to either 180 or 225. I usually do 6 sets of 8-10 reps depending on how I'm feeling. I don't usually do any more than that (weight) because I'm not trying to build mass and I don't use a spotter. I use a regular bench w/ rack and none of that box squat b/s.
In my day when I was 16-18 I squatted about 400lbs on my max (3 reps with spotter). I got crazy last year and threw up 300 for fun.
I also do pull ups and push ups, but I suck at pull ups.

Ah good stuff...tho thought you said u stopped 6 months ago...or was that just sports in general? For pull ups just build a good base with pull downs first..after a while you will be able to pull yourself up.. (talking about wide grip ones). It's been a while since I have tried max reps...mgiht give it ago next time I'm in the gym.
