Before lunch we did slinky's w6r2 and she's doing great! although she winced  about a slight incline & head wind, I told her to just back off very slightly and explained the benefit's of hill's...Plus she's ordered a pair of Asics patriot 8s for about £25! 😱

Well done Slinky! I bet she really appreciated you telling her about how beneficial hills are - I think I would probably have murdered you!

... and you are still standing? Embracing the hills is one thing..but being told about it, is quite another!

Well done Mrsdave...and for the new shoes too x

 As I said! It was just a slight incline, and I explained about the benefit of doing  hills after the run! As for the shoes? She buys her own gear! Phew!😀

Slinky's new shoe's were delivered very quickly, just a few days, but although she ordered a size bigger 7, they were too narrow, so have to go back. She needs an extra wide 2E. Seems there's nothing marked on the shoe saying what width they are! How daft! Mine are marked a men's D, but a lot of women's aren't marked.. Think maybe she should go for a gait analysis & fitting in store..
