Juju Week 5 - It’s TREAT time!

Another week done on Juju. I was going to save buying trainers until the end of the Juju plan but I just went for it today! I saw these Kalenji trainers advertised in women’s running magazine and then went to Decathlon to try them out and purchased them, £29.99!

Running shoes don’t have to be expensive!

How did other runners get on this week?

I went out in my new trainers yesterday lunchtime and they felt so light on my feet and a good cushion of support at the bottom. It's a really good running shoe, designed for road running specifically and I am pleasantly suprised with them.

Highly recommended Kev, don’t rule them out next time you need to replace your shoes or if you are looking for a backup option!

Yes definitely sounds good is it a team work run or is it possible to do on your own because all I know that you end up muddy very muddy 😉👍

Very nice and a great price. Did you get your gait analysis done as well?

You definitely deserve a treat for sticking so well to the plan.

I’m slowly getting back on form. I did just over 3k which felt ok so I did the Parkrun as well.

Hopefully I can get back to three runs a week soon and start making progress again.

Hey rainbow, I didn’t do a gait analysis but I had the help of you tube videos which covered the patterns of wear on your trainers which help identify what your gait is, mine consistently fall in “neutral” gait and I checked this with my friend who has experience from working in a running shop previously. So I don’t have to buy special trainers as such.

I hope you get back to three runs a week soon, take your time and enjoy building up to it again.

Thanks. Have a great week.
