10k graduation present

[Flyingred]

I've rewarded myself with a new pair of shoes. I found this pair of Nike Free RNs in a nearby Nike outlet and they're my first, tentative, toe in the water of minimalist running. They're not my ideal colour choice, but I can't resist a bargain and they are a bit stealth-like.

Lovely shoes Flyingred. Very stealthy like. They look very comfy!

Congratulations too on your 10k graduation! You did it.👍👏👏👏🎓👟❤️

[Flyingred Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

They're certainly very comfortable worn around the house. They felt good when I tried them running up and down the store (to my wife's embarrassment)!

[Flyingred Graduate10 in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Your wish is my command! My lips are sealed!

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

You will be a silent stealth-like speed merchant in those beauties! Nice present! 👍👟😀

[Flyingred Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Thank you. I'm happy with them, but of course, it's the thought that counts!

They’re low drop shoes so they might take some getting used to If you have Another pair of run shoes you could alternate between the two for a while, as the lower drop can make your Achilles twang

I like a Nike free. They’re very popular

[Flyingred Graduate10 in reply to misswobble]

Thanks for your advice. I mostly wear Hoka Challenger ATRs (so very different construction) and will continue to wear them for my longer runs. I plan on wearing the Frees for form drills and 10 20 30 interval sessions to gradually adapt.

Well done on 10k! And cool shoes. Good winter colour I reckon

[Flyingred Graduate10 in reply to Deals1]

Thank you! I agree, definitely a winter colour.

I'd say more Ninja than Stealth! Nice though - and well done on your 10k!

[Flyingred Graduate10 in reply to Dizzysmum17]

Thank you Dizzsmum. I'll take Ninja!
