if by what you mean as "trainers" is "shoes" , then, well, that is different for every person. It's very important to know that each person has different styles and different types of running, and the shoes can either hurt you or help you. Make sure that when you're getting your shoes, you pick them out to match your style as accuratly as you can. *How do you know which type is right for you? -well, the shoe should fit confortably, but a little tighly (some would describe it as snug). The shoe, depending on what kind of events you do, should be used accordingly. If you are a track runner, for ecxample, you would want a more flexable shoe with recommended spikes. weight is also a factor that should be considered. Also, the arch size, rolling factor, shoe string diameter, impact support systems, and sole details are important and commonly overlooked factors. < call me a nerd as much as you want, at least i still know my stuff ;D > but to answer your question, plague (finaly ), i run in ASICS (model T904N, US size 11s). I love asics and i am used to their style, and i feel confortable in them. they're not super-professional, but they're my style, and that's what's important. If you're used to a certain type of shoe, stick with it, unles you're injuring yourself. actualy, i used to (back when i didn't know anything ) run in a pair of heavy NIKE trail shoes. They stretched out my foot tendens and i couldn't run for some time. Remember, you need a good feel for the shoe and the shoe needs to match your style to allow you to have the maximum running potential. Also, it may take a few miles to figure out what you should be running in. So take a pair of shoefor a test run (don't make it a long or difficult run, where that can cause injury) and see how they feel. I know of a store that actualy has a track inside so shoppers can get a feel for what they need. <i think it may be a Brooks store, but i can't recall> anyways, the moral of my epicly long story s that shoes are VERY important. use good judgment when selecting what is best for you. Good running stores have people that are skilled at assisting you at making that decision. Ask around to see if there's a place like that near you.

I used to run in asics, gt-2130. They were good but then I went to this new store that opened called "Fleet Feet", they are amazing. I wear whatever they tell me to wear!! They had me run in 3 different pairs of shoes and I couldn't decide between the new asics and the new brooks, so they let me run with brooks on one foot and asics on the other, I choose the brooks.
So right now im running with Brooks Adrenaline Nines. I really like them and I bought this insole for the shoe that really helps (my left feet is a neutral pronator and my right foot is an under pronator)
So yeah, im really diggin these Brooks. But I have had good experience with asics but what Noodle said is right, its really what works for you but I find that asics, brooks, and sauconys are the best brands for running shoes. Nikes suck, imo.
