Has anyone used these as a Trainer before? I just got a pair, and was wondering if they will be good for that .. I do about 50-60 miles a week and run mostly on the roads (soft stuff when I can) .. Also, any reviews/experiences would be great .. thanks!
i actually just started running in these two weeks ago and was a huge fan. Then today I did a tempo run with some 200's afterwards and now my arch is absolutely killing me. I know they're designed for people with higher arches, so I'm not sure if that's the reason or maybe I'm just a huge vag. Regardless, I did all my training on the roads and they felt good, well, up to today anyway.
The Tangents are a great trainer for the lighter-framed runner and an even better tempo/quicker run trainer for everyone else. There is a slight amount of posting, but nothing that's going to help you if you're 160 lbs+. I loved these things as a trainer and a Chicago Marathon racer. I'm a buck 70, so these things were spot on for me.
