Photo from my splishy splashy 12k run this morning! 💦🏃♀️
I am sure lots of you have been running through the same. Definitely a day for my Hoka Speedgoats but no shoe exists to keep you dry through this; you just have to embrace the challenge of the mud and the fact that you’re going to get…very…wet! 🤣
It was nice running in the cooler temperatures though!😀
Well done getting through that puddle more a paddle. Agree better cooler weather but mine a 10 km early morning walk and was out before heavy rain we have had now. I see u wear hoka. Have you tried hoka one one bondi 7 . I have bunions and neuropathy feet and was going to send for these as meant to be good for walking in. I wear a 5 wide brooks ghost 13 and was wondering should I get same size as my brooks. 😊
Not tried the Hoka Bondi Doris8 - my road shoes are the Hoka Arahi’s as I need a bit of support. Hoka are fab shoes though - good luck with the Bondi’s. I run in a mans size 8 but my normal shoes are 7/7.5.🙂
Ah brilliant, that’s certainly very splishy splashy! Maybe flippers instead of Hokas! 😃. Congratulations on your brilliant run, the weather certainly was great to run in this morning. 🏃♀️💦🦆
Ooh that's a fair stretch of river you had to wade through there Sandra 😅Yip lots of my routes are quite muddy ATM, I always fear I'm going to slip and fall.. might change to road running if it gets much worse 🙄
Well done on your distance run..that's a good one 🏃♀️👏
Enjoy your Sunday afternoon 🎶💃
Looks like fun!!
Love it Sandra, what an incredibly wet weekend it was! 12k towards your 50 miles for August too. Well done.
Yep, slowly building up those miles Dexy5 - hope you are too!🙂
14k so far. I should have got out today but haven’t got away from iplayer and Olympics since I got up. Life will restart soon 😂
Yes definitely wet running for us all currently- great run though for you in cooler temperatures today 👍😀🏃🏻♀️👏
Well done for your splashy 12K run! I’m not one for running through mud or puddles like that but I agree with you about the cooler weather 😊
Gosh Sandra! On my first glance at your photo I thought I was looking at a canal! I was looking for ducks 🦆 😆💦
Well done for coping with that mud and water 💦.
Yes, and there were several stretches like this 😱 - luckily I actually quite like a muddy run!🤣
I think my daughter and I will experience conditions like these when we head out this afternoon. We had torrential rain again last night so our woodland trails, which are already very water-logged, will be pretty squelchy! I anticipate some hurdling and make-it-up-as-you-go diversions 💦🏃♀️🌲🌳🪵.
Yes, I've got a few puddles like that on my routes too. I hate running with wet feet- don't mind the rest of me being wet. But, I suppose, at least its warm wet and not cold wet feet that we have now 😏
Luckily my routes haven't got too muddy yet. When I looked at this photo though I bit the bullet and ordered some shoes with lugs. I had a few slippy runs when I started out in spring this year and promised myself some grippy trainers before the autumn if I kept it up.
Yep, my Speedgoats deal with the slippy mud really well and the lugs mean the mud falls out of them easily too. 🙂
Looks like good fun Sandra, especially after the heat you just went through! We are in a muggy hot phase now too here. My old Speedgoats are mostly retired with 1000+k on them but my replacement Hoka Torrents are surprisingly grippy and fun to run in too - not quite as water resistant as the Speedgoats though 
Speedgoats were sold out everywhere when I was looking earlier this year.
I must admit, I’d turn back if i saw that lake of mud in front of me 😂 I haven’t done an off road or trail run all year. Can’t be getting my nice shoes all muddy. 😅
🤣🤣They clean up well! (I use a Boot Buddy - they’re brilliant!👍🙂
That sounds interesting. I’ll look that up.
Oh my, that is rather a big puddle!
