Not such a good run😟😟

[Scruff55]

Got up and out early - new runners nicely fitted on my feet. After 10 minutes I started to get cramp in my toes. Decided to walk for a bit to ease it then ran again for another 5 minutes but decided that was enough. Realised that shoes were laced up too tight what an idiot I am. 🤔🤔🤔got home and redid the laces - next run hopefully Tuesday with a better outcome happy running everyone 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Always make sure that your laces are tied properly, not too tight or lose, nothing worse than having to retie a shoe lace when out a run especially if you wish to run a PB, I hope your next run will be better with no problems regarding shoes being too tight. 😊 🏃🏾

Sorry to hear about your toes. I obsess about how my laces are done up especially on the right foot as it gave me no end of trouble a while back. I’m sure your next run will be much better, and the new shoes will come into their own! 😊

[Scruff55 60minGraduate in reply to Frenc]

I am prone to toe cramp and I laced up the new shoes how the shop assistant suggested but it didn’t work for me. Shoes replaced for my next run and 🤞🤞🤞

Re laced not replaced ooops didn’t check it

[Frenc Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Scruff55]

I knew what you meant 🤣. Yes, I hear you, I’ve experimented so much with lacing, who knew they even have lacing techniques on YouTube!

[Scruff55 60minGraduate in reply to Frenc]

I know this running lark is not as easy as you think 🤣🤔🤣🤔🤣

Sometimes the simplest things can spoil the plans! Easily done... My laces on one shoe kept coming undone yesterday!Hopefully you will have a happier time when you head out again!

[Scruff55 60minGraduate in reply to Oldfloss]

I hope so I’ve replaced them so 🤞that works better next time.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate]

Oh that’s so annoying for you! sometimes laces just won’t tie right, let’s hope they are more comfy next time

[Scruff55 60minGraduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

🤞I tied like the man in the shop suggested to stop my feet from moving forward in the shoe but it seemed to stop my circulation too 🤣🤣🤣

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10]

Sorry to hear about your shoes Scruff, extraordinary how something as simple as laces can make or break a run isn’t it?! Hope your next time out is more successful!

[Scruff55 60minGraduate in reply to Oldgirlruns]

🙏yes it’s the small things that matter. Hopefully will get Tuesday afternoon before grand parenting duty’s on Wednesday Thursday and Friday.

Oooh 😯 poor you!! Such an easy mistake to make with new runners; I’ve done it too 🙄. You’ll be all sorted though for next time and you’ll have a super run 🏃‍♀️!

[Scruff55 60minGraduate in reply to Hidden]

Hope so. 🤞🤣🤣🤣

I watched you tube videos on how to lace running shoes, didn't realise that there were so many different ways
