First run with new shoes

[Joy57]

....went well! They felt strange/different and at one point I thought the left one was too tight, but it felt easier as I went on. I had to stop after 300m though as a shoelace came undone! That never happened with my Brooks! I double knotted them to be sure.

I did the same run as on Thursday, 4.3k, and knocked a few seconds off Thursday's time even though I took 4 short walks today. Best thing though, my blister/callus site didn't hurt at all! 😀 I'm hoping that now it will heal over.

Things are looking good! 😄

Seems weird with new shoes at first but you’ll get used to them and great news with no blister pain!!

Are you following a programme Joy57 ??

[Joy57 Graduate10 in reply to Mummycav]

Not at the moment, I got to 10k and am just running for fun and fitness now, still using Sami Murphy podcasts as I like the music.

That's great news that your new shoes are living up to expectation. I have a run tomorrow in new shoes, slightly apprehensive as my last new shoes have caused ankle issues over the three weeks I had them. I am hoping for a good run like yours today!

New shoes? What are they? Where's the photo??

Glad they seem to be working out for you!

That's good news about the blister Joy. Happy running days in your new shoes 🏃🏃🏃

Thanks IP. Fingers and toes crossed 😄

New shoes can support you very differently to your old ones and in the past people have complained about niggles with new shoes. I always rotate my shoes but you could alternate old and new shoes for a while to ease any transition from one to another.

Yes that's a good idea. I'll still get the blister/callus forming with the old ones but hey ho, I've had that for the last few months anyway!
