I just noticed a little advertisement on the Yahoo! Answers page that said "If you can't talk and run at the same time, your running too fast" or something along those lines. I'm not saying every day has to be a really hard run and that runners need an easy day to recover. But Reebok seems to be saying that running hard is bad. They seem to try and market their shoes by trying to make running an easier sport when it is not. Running is hard. I think that some will look at their slogan and say 'Wow, Run Easy, OK!' and think a 5K race is a cake-walk.

If you've ever run in Reebok for any distance you'll know why THEY say running is bad! Their shoes can't handle the real runners, that's all. Anyone who wears Reeboks to seriously run will WANT to slow down, the pain will be unbearable! In short, they are warning their customers that their shoes are not designed for anyone with any type of running background or experience. It's actually pretty nice of them if you think about it lol...

No, they're encouraging more people to run which is always good. If all everyone saw was fit people like us then they'ld be put of taking it up, once started they can then be encouraged ot train harder, and head for bigger goals.
Also I used to run in reeboks and didn't mind them at all, didn't move on for any reason other than just happening to pick a different shoe, certainly never had any problems with reebok at all.

I don't like that slogan either. I don't think of my running time as a time to talk, but to train. And I mostly do sprints too. but I do respect the people who do like to talk and run at the same time
