That's really good Baz! I enjoyed that.

Glad I moved to lower drop shoe! Hopefully no more foot slap! It's all about balance, but it takes practice. You have to work at it, unless you're a natural that is, but I doubt many of us are

This has made me think that perhaps before I move on to another running "plan" , I could spend some time looking at how I run. I have seen some drills whereby you start to run and stop after 5-6 steps and do it all over again many many times. It is at the start of a run that we "lean" forwards - and without lean we go nowhere.

Try standing up straight up and raise one knee - standing on one leg. Where do you go?? Nowhere!! You have to lean forwards to start moving forwards.

Won't be playing with blocks of wood any time soon I'm afraid. But I guess, whatever works!😀
