Magic Running Socks?

I'm doing B210K for time rather than distance as I'm very snail like and I just wanted to get to 5K. I treated myself to some proper running socks and both times I've worn them now I have improved my lap times by 2 mins and at last got to 5k. I think my socks are magic and am now eyeing up some fancy trainers!

The fancy Hilly ones from Decathlon got lost in the post so I ordered different ones from SportsShoes.com called "Higher State Freedom Running Anklet" £9.99 for 5 Pack. Bargain! They're thick so make my feet a bit sweaty but I don't care cos they obviously have magic powers :)

Brilliant, it is amazing the difference the proper support of socks and shoes can make. Great effort reaching 5k. Happy running 🤗

Hey well done ... maybe I’ll try the magic socks. I graduated in April and still only progressed to 3.5k in 30 mins. Great result 🏃‍♀️🥳

I graduated April also and could only do 3k in 30mins. Try the socks. They have amazing powers :)
