I'm looking for some advice. I'm pregnant and will therefore be gaining weight between now and when the baby's due in August. I'm looking to continue running throughout my pregnancy. My current runners need to be replaced. I've been running in Adidas Supernova Controls for over 5 years however I've been a bit disappointed with my last two pairs. They have not lasted as long as I had imagined and now "squeak" when I walk. I'm due for a new pair of shoes (which I usually treat myself to every spring) but I've decided to try a new shoe (daring I know).
Realistically I will probably be running no more then 20-25 km per week and it will be all outside (asphalt).
I tried on the Mizuno Wave Elixir 4 last night and it fit like a slipper. I am concerned however that the shoe is a performance stability shoe and is not necessarily a good match for the extra pounds that I am/will be packing on (which means I'm over 150lbs). I'm wondering if there is enough cushioning to support the extra weight? Anyone else tried these shoes out?
Alternatively I'm thinking that the Asics 2140 might be a good alternative to replace Supernova Controls. They have a similar amount of cushioning that I am accustomed to.
I'm not necessarily looking for advice on specific shoes (although if you have it that would be great) but I'm wondering what other pregnant ladies or moms who are running or ran throughout their pregnancy experiences were with their running shoes. As you gained weight did you want a shoe with more cushion? Did you notice or feel any difference or a need for change in your shoe?
Thanks in advance.
