When I ran the Bournemouth 10K I had a blister under the arch of my foot so decided it was time to get a gait analysis. And so here they are, my first ever pair of running shoes!! Cant wait to try them out tomorrow and see how they improve my snail pace πŸŒπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸŒπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

They look lovely and Saucony cushioning is superb, they will feel so light! πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ˜

They feel amazing on my feet and so light. My old shoes felt awful when I had to put them back on!! Cant wait to try them out.

Congratulations on getting those lovely new proper running shoes after your gait analysis, can't guarantee that they will make you run faster, perhaps they will improve what you call "your small pace" but certainly you will be much comfortable running in them. 😊 πŸƒπŸΎ

They look really comfy Yogamaz , I’ve never had Saucony but have only ever heard good things. I’m sure they’ll do the trick πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

I was thinking I needed to plan my next run very carefully to avoid all the mud and puddles πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Sounds like a plan. I had a damp run this morning and ran through a puddle I hadnt seen - oops wet right foot, 5 minutes later - yay, balanced feet again, left foot puddle. Luckily no mud πŸ™†β€β™€οΈ

I have Saucony’s. My feet pronate and they correct this. Just be warned that your feet may ache after the first run, but persevere. I was quite worried that I made a bad choice, but the second run was fab. They are very comfortable. Enjoy!

Thanks for that info Corkee. I had a terrible run with new sauconys and haven’t dared to try again!

If they're very different from your previous shoes they may need some wearing in. Try round the house if they're clean enough too πŸ‘πŸ»

Mine are neutral so I don't know if that will make a difference. Perhaps I will plan a short run today just in case!!
