Hello old friends

[HeavyFoot]

I bought these Brooks Ghosts back in 2018 for C25K, following a recommendation in the Times for the “bigger runner”.

Many months later a gait analysis advised me to purchase Hokas for overpronation so Mr Brooks went into the cupboard.

I’ve brought them on holiday and taken them out for a 3km spin. Much bouncier than I remember and the lining is still fine unlike Hokas which regularly wear out at the heel.

So more happy runnings for Mr Brooks. 😎

I’m sure Mr. Brooks have enjoyed a holiday spin! It sounds as though you have too. 😊

I must say I do love my Brooks. But I think I will have to retire a pair next month after I do a muddy trek across the beach and mud of Southend on Sea to walk/run to the Mulberry stuck in the mud out there. I don’t think they will survive that!

[Yesletsgo Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Knittingrunner]

Wouldn't wellies be better in the mud? Or is it sandy near the Mulberry?? I wish you hadn't mentioned this walk, now I want to do it myself 😂 (not gonna let my beloved Brooks get anywhere near sea water!!)

[Knittingrunner Graduate10 in reply to Yesletsgo]

Wellies are ok for the first bit apparently but then it’s quite hard sand and I can’t imagine running in wellies 😂so it’s my old Brooks or beach shoes I guess.

It’s the first time The RNLi at Southend have done this so I think it has to be done and yesterday there were still a lot of places left if you were tempted. ⚓️🥾

I just googled it and it's on my son's birthday that's a real pity

[Knittingrunner Graduate10 in reply to Yesletsgo]

That’s a shame. Maybe if it goes well they will make it an annual event and with the tides I guess it won’t the same date.

Lovely to find more bounce,

Everyone enjoys a holiday HF, even Mr Brooks! Have a great time!

Love my ghosts too
