Gait analysis ✅ New shoes ✅

[Gran4z]

Following up on latest minor injury and all the excellent support/advice here I reviewed my gait, and all is good. Shoes, absolute no no, tut tut ‼️ So new shoes tried, and purchased 😬. Not beautiful but practical 🙃.

Had a wonderful sports massage this morning - not the most pleasant of massages, but necessary. Few more days resting the old leg, then off the IC and out into the cold, can't wait😳.

[Gran4z Graduate10 in reply to Fabulous450]

Thanks Fab450. Having to restrain myself 😂.

Your shoes look lovely - I bet you can't wait to try them out!

[Gran4z Graduate10 in reply to Tartancat]

Thanks Tartancat. Yes, want get out there...but almost tying myself down, so I don't go out 🙃

Nice shoes Gran4z ....well done for being able to resist taking them straight out for their maiden voyage, it will make the first run even more enjoyable having to wait!!

[Gran4z Graduate10 in reply to Mummycav]

Thanks - hope so 🙂🌻

Will my feet ache because they're new? S'pose will make a change form achey hip! 😂

Hi Gran4z...new shoes can take a little while to break in, so maybe reduce your distance a touch, that's the advice I was given.

I love Brooks running shoes and have 3 pairs myself, when switching from GTS 18's to GTS 19's it took about 20k until my legs became used to the new design, but after that they were fine.

Happy running and enjoy the new shoes.

[Gran4z Graduate10 in reply to Andy14st9lbs]

Thanks for the advice Andy...won't be going very far anyway owing to injury, probably incurred because I hadn't replaced my more than worn down shoes - they were comfy, I was very attached to them...then they started falling apart 😂, I'm learning very slowly. Happy running 🌻

The sun is definitely best viewed behind the window in a warm house at the moment! 🐈😎

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

[Gran4z Graduate10 in reply to Katnap]

Thank you Katnap - made me chuckle 😂. Probably right about the viewing the sun from indoors - but I miss getting out there 🌻

Fantastic Gran4z, you won’t know yourself when you’re out back out there on those snazzy new runners. 😍😀🏃‍♀️

I hope you’ll report back with how you get on - hopefully not too long. 🤞😀

[Gran4z Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Thanks cheeky chipmunks - trying hard to resist the pull of the shoes...they're trying to lure me out! Frosty out there this morning, looks beautiful. Happy running ❄️🌻

Lovely shoes Gran4z , maybe while your still recovering you could just wear them around the house to start wearing them in. Then you'll be all ready for their first trip out.

[Gran4z Graduate10 in reply to Razouski]

Now hadn't thought of that...I've just been looking at them lovingly 😂. Used never to look on trainers that way - definitely think I've been inhabited by an alien!! 😎
