Today I completed the second run of week 2. This time I went around the street where I live and one close by. I wasn't as self conscious as I thought I would be but that could have been the fact the hubby walked our dog around too!!
I have bought some "proper" running clothes so need to keep going.
One question - should different trainers be worn when running on the road/path than those for grass?

Well done for getting out for the 2nd run. Hope it went well. Be assured others don't really take much notice of you when you run - if they don't run I suspect they just think you are mad Never thought about whether you needed different trainers depending on where you run. Be interested to see the replies
There are differing types of run shoes for track, general purpose, trail and fell running...
I wear 'general purpose' running trainers and regularly run on grass if it is soft as i tis less wearing on the joints. At my age, I have to look after them!!
Well done on completing W2R2, and look forward to your graduation in a couple of months time.

You sound as if you're enjoying it, that's good ! I have two pairs of shoes, one for flattish Tarmac, grass and paths. The other pair for off road paths where the surface is rubbly/rooty/muddy where I need more grip (doesn't always help as the two times I've fallen over have been on these surfaces....)
