I’m being lured back to give the Lyme Park parkrun another go by the local runners this weekend. Unfortunately they tell me I need trail shoes there this time of year. Fortunately I got a Decathlon voucher as a Christmas present and put it towards these babies.
They aren’t as comfy or stylish as my Brooks Glycerins but I reckon they should do the job. A VRB observed they have huge lugs so they are now officially known as my Prince Charles shoes!

I love my trail shoes. This time of the year they are brilliant. All my usual paths are muddy and the local park run is grass so I had to get some. Hope they go well for you! 👟👟
My OH tried the tougher local Parkrun we’ve so far avoided on Christmas Day, and discovered that too really needed trail shoes! At least sliding around slowed down his usually ridiculous speed a bit - though he did decide to run about 3.5k to get there and the same to get home again! 🙄😂😂
Shoe envy. My darling shoes took a pounding in the mud today as I ran on a muddy towpath and was sploshing through muddy puddles. I definitely could have done with a pair of trail shoes.
Good luck with your parkrun. Can’t wait to hear how you get on! 👍😀🏃
Lovely looking shoes. I was told by one of the organisers of Lyme Park Parkrun that it is one of the toughest. Stepping over the tree roots and rough ground on the starting hill nearly killed me. I came almost last at Lyme Park 😀. Have you tried Sourh Park at Macclesfield or Brabyns Park in Marple? Both good and easier than Lyme Park!
Let us know how it goes Jay. I often think of your hilarious Lyme Park post when I am struggling uphill. Good luck - I am sure it will be better this time 🏔 🏃♂️ 🏔
Good luck Jay. The shoes look perfect. You absolutely have my respect for tackling Lyme Park. I’ll stick to pootling around the nice flat Lincoln parkrun 😀
