    Anyone recommend a good place to get fitted in Cork? Anywhere in Munster even?

    I went to Limerick Sport Store on William Street the other day and the lady spent about half an hour with me, getting me to run up and down the shop while assessing my gait. I ended up settling on a pair of New Balance runners and the next day (perhaps foolhardily) I took them out for a 25km run. I intended to just break them in for the first few km's and then switch to my old runners, but I was feeling comfortable so I kept going. I was pleasantly surprised to last the full distance and had no issues with my feet. My ITB did go in the last km and but I'm not sure if this is down to my shoes.

    So, I think I got a good service there. I'm skeptical about running shoe science in general though.
