I've just ran my first 5K since graduating, had a few stops as my laces were too tight, but I did 5K! I'm extremely proud of myself today 😊

Well done!

Those two extra holes at the top of your shoes might come in very handy for you. If you use a 'lace lock' it allows you to tie them quite tightly/smugly without the additional pressure that causes pins and needles etc.

Spiky should really know this stuff! ;)

Brilliant run, well done. Plenty more of those to come Im betting. Double bow the laces, or as Dunder says, try the lace lock 🏃🏻🏃🏻🏃🏻🏃🏻🏃🏻

Well done 😀 You'll sort your lacing out shortly. These things just have to have a few goes to get them right for us 🙂
