Oh my. I forgot I had ordered these and found them on my back doorstep (thanks DHL).

Brooks Glycerin 15 in a different colour way from my original ones, bought in the Brooks online sale.

Love ‘em.

Hey, Jay, they look very flashy, I am sure they are very comfortable, you will be able to run in them perhaps faster than your other shoes.

A little update about my sore hip, it's getting a bit better, managed to run 7/1 minute runs this morning with 90 seconds of walking, a bit like week 1 but a bit slower, not sure when I'll 'risk' trying for a full 5k run, I want that sore feeling on my hip completely gone before I try it.

Good plan. Glad to hear you are progressing.

I thought I was bad Jay - was looking at another pair of Nike's earlier today online, to replicate my current shoes but in a different colour... and then decided that was a bit OTT... but see that you've gone ahead and done exactly that :)

Yeah I like the brightness. They won’t see much action for quite some time.

Hi Jay, those look very smart, just the sort of thing I’m looking for. I’ll have a look and see if I can find some locally and try them out for fit and comfort. Oh dear, I can hear the wallet sobbing already 🤣👍

Great purchase Jay. Think of this one as spend to save. It would’ve cost more if you bought them when you really needed them. 😉

Me too. Although I haven’t run in anything else, Brooks were the only ones I tried that fitted my feet properly 👣👟

I love Brooks. I have high arches and pronate and currently have the Savanna 7. These look like they might be a decent replacement when the time comes.

These are neutral so may not be right for you?
