Hi everyone,
I purchased a new pair of trainers yesterday morning, Saucony Triumph iso 3.
I had a gait analysis done first to make sure I was getting the correct type of shoe.
After a bit of shopping with my better half, I returned home and got into running gear.
I then went out into the cold dank breezy afternoon and took the shoes for a trot.
I'm now on the end of week 8 of the HM training. I ran for 8.5 miles and the trainers were great, which was a relief as they cost a bit. I also tried some, Sis co energy gel, at the 6 mile point and was pleasantly surprised by the almost immediate effect on my energy levels. I was well wrapped up and the clothing is a little constrictive but never the less I certainly enjoyed the run and the satisfying feeling at the end of it.
Around three hours after the run my legs were aching, stiff and tired but after a couple of pints of London Porter and a good nights sleep they are back to normal.
Just four weeks to go, then I will be running my first HM.
I hope that you are all having a great weekend and happy running.
All the best.
