How To Fix A Common Running Problem

A lot of people complain about their heel slipping out of their shoe while they run. What should you do about it? Most people will either buy new shoes or worse yet, they will tie up their shoes extra tight so there is no way their heel will move. That's the last thing you want to do, because tying your shoes too tight will lead to a number of problems, all worse than the heel problem you tried fixed in the first place. Below is a video explaining how to tie your shoes (tighter is not the answer!) so that your heel won't slip as much. More often than not this will fix the problem.

The History of MyTrainingBuddy.com

Hi! This is Dusty, I'm the founder of MyTrainingBuddy.com. With MTB being only a few months old I thought I'd share how and why I decided to launch this online community.

I've always been looking for ways to motivate people, help change their lives, and generally trying to make the world a better place because I was there. All that along with a very longtime love with health and fitness, the idea for the website came to me. It's common knowledge that most people do better and are more motivated when they have someone to do it with (especially some form of exercise). Other than asking friends or family to workout with you, there isn't really any service out there that people can think of to find someone.

Fast forward a few months after the idea popped into my head and I had a website that matched people with similiar skill levels in their area to workout with. Since then, the community has been growing steadily and people have been meeting up to workout together.

My wish is that eventually when anyone has a desire to workout but doesn't know of anyone to train with that they will check out MyTrainingBuddy. Along with finding a training buddy they can search through the site and have any of their fitness questions answered and be updated on anything fitness. We are constantly trying out new ideas to make it the perfect fitness community for you.

In the end, I want MyTrainingBuddy to be responsible for millions of pounds lost, friendships made and most importantly the kickstart in many peoples lives to getting them on the path to health and fitness

Need Some Motivation?

Stumbled across this amazing video the other day. I just had to share this! Never let a fall keep you down, everyone falls sometime...it's whether or not you get up is what defines you.
