Photo from my splishy splashy 12k run this morning! πŸ’¦πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

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!πŸ˜€

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.πŸ™‚

Ah brilliant, that’s certainly very splishy splashy! Maybe flippers instead of Hokas! πŸ˜ƒ. Congratulations on your brilliant run, the weather certainly was great to run in this morning. πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ’¦πŸ¦†

Ooh that's a fair stretch of river you had to wade through there Sandra πŸ˜…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 πŸ™„

Well done on your distance run..that's a good one πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ‘

Enjoy your Sunday afternoon πŸŽΆπŸ’ƒ

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 πŸ¦† πŸ˜†πŸ’¦

Well done for coping with that mud and water πŸ’¦.

Yes, and there were several stretches like this 😱 - luckily I actually quite like a muddy run!🀣

β€’ in reply toSandraj39

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 πŸ’¦πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸŒ²πŸŒ³πŸͺ΅.

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.

Sandraj39 profile image
Sandraj39Graduate10β€’ in reply toDylanTheRabbit

Yep, my Speedgoats deal with the slippy mud really well and the lugs mean the mud falls out of them easily too. πŸ™‚

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 πŸ˜‚ I haven’t done an off road or trail run all year. Can’t be getting my nice shoes all muddy. πŸ˜…
