Hello & happy Easter to all you running folk! As I was taking a trip to Seville for a few days, I thought it would be a wise investment to treat myself to a some new road shoes so that I could run whilst away, and I'm so pleased that I did!
These are my new brooks ghost 11 shoes that are like running on clouds! They took me on 4 runs in 5 days covering just shy of 30km on some beautiful sunny morning runs, which fully enabled me to just about everything Seville had available to eat and drink! There's unlikely to be any weight loss this month, no matter how far I run!
Have a great Bank Holiday everyone!

Thanks floss, I've heard others talk about how comfortable brooks shoes are, when the guy in the wonderful running shop (the Lincolnshire runner) recommended these I was really chuffed. They allow my feet to 'kiss the ground', as you've often told people!
I'm not actually in Lincoln Sandie, but my nearest specialist shops are either Lincoln or Peterborough. They do have a treadmill for gait analysis at the Lincolnshire runner but a chap called Mark watched my wife and I run outside instead. It sounds less technical than a slow motion gait analysis but I asked him so many questions while he was checking my wife, I was very confident that he knew what he was doing! I would have no hesitation going back there! Not pushy or rushed, I tried loads of shoes up & down the high street. 👍
Oooo I like those Wiggy. I 😍😍 the orange laces! I hope they give you many happy kms/miles of cloud-like running. Starting their lives in Seville is a great way to begin. 🏃🏃🏃🏃
Hey Katnap, they are beautifully light & whilst I've not had them out for a speedy session I have found that when I think I've had a long slow run, my splits are well under what I expected! 😊
I do spend a bit less time on here than I used to, was becoming a little hypocritical telling the kids to get off their phones whilst always being on mine! 😳 I do like catching up on you all whenever possible tho, you still breaking PB's like crazy?
Sounds wise to me, I've had several much slower runs & walk/runs lately so I go out with my wife or daughter, they may not be as fast but they are certainly more fun!
I tried 2 pairs of brooks, I think the others were adrenalin, totally different & I wasn't over keen. The ghosts in a wide fit on the other hand are perfect 👌
I do think of myself as very lucky Raz, but we've done a few city trips on such a budget that we're quite the experts now! There's no better way to see a new city!
Lovely shoes, lovely runs Uncle Wiggy. It sounds like you’ve put them to the test. I’m a brooks fan too. Love your laces. I think there’s a window of opportunity selling colourful running shoe laces; they can completely change the appearance of a shoe.
