I took my new trainers for a run.

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.

Sounds like a great run - I'm still running in ALDI running shoes but have promised myself a decent pair if I graduate and successfully do a park run which is my ultimate goal. HM sounds a great target
