I have always worn Nike Roshe run trainers when I used to go the gym (so maybe 5 times in the last 2 years...)
Just wondered if they are suitable for the c25k?
My first two runs this week have felt fine in them but don't want to wear something if it's going to do more harm than good.
Any other trainer recommendations?
Thanks

Shoes are a personal thing as we all run differently. If you are just starting out then they should be fine so long as they aren't worn out. If you have already run in them with no issues then continue to use them. Once you are ready to replace them, go to an independent sports shop for a recommendation based on your running style.
I went to a running shop and got mine, 5 years ago! Although i have run on and off for 5 years so they've got loads more wear in them yet, but they are the best trainers I've ever had, the make is brooks, it's like running on air, I haven't had any injuries so far and no more black toenails-sorry for too much info.
The running shop told me that people often run in trainers too small and that causes injuries, for example trainers that we wear everyday they fit snuggly, they said you have to go a size up in running trainers.
I've never had a pair of the roshe but my little boy has, and the sole isn't anywhere near as thick as my running trainers.
I'm no expert but this is advice I have been given by 'experts' and got to say they were right with me. I will only ever buy Brooks from now on. They are a size bigger than I usually wear but are so comfy, they aren't too big, but there's room for my feet to move inside.
Obviously everybody is different and we all get on with different trainers, but it is so important to get the right pair for you.
You may be fine with those but if you find you are starting with injuries, pain etc maybe look at getting a different pair.
You should be okay for the first few weeks. Though if you do start to feel any discomfort it may be worth looking into something more tailored to running.
These are what I would consider a fashion trainer. They aren't meshed to help alleviate heat, the soles as well are probably not as effective cushioning as running shoes.
If you find you are getting into the running, and as your runs get longer I would recommend getting the right shoes.
I can't recommend enough going to a proper running shop and having gait analysis done on their treadmill and buying trainers that match how you run. It made a huge difference for me, loving my Asics Dynoflites.
I , when I started C25K, just did the wet foot test, had never heard of gait analysis... Result... 'normal' feet ( weird because everything else about me is odd
Then, researched and researched.. and chose a pair, which were perfect... later on bought a pair of trail and track shoes .. same make and recommended by one of my friends on Bridge to 10K forum.. perfect again... I keep one pair of each at my holiday home in Wales and one pair at home
All at sale price as they were odd colours..i.e. not popular
I may have been just lucky, but they are absolutely spot on.. we are all different.. if your trainers are okay. go for it..if any discomfort at all as the runs get longer, especially if pavement pounding... then, maybe time to think again..they are the mot important part of your gear....
It may be of interest for you to take a read of this post, again one of the friends from Bridge to 10 K.. she is an amazing runner!!
I love Asics for running, but I have a really good pair of New Balance and I love them. Plus much cheaper.
All f the major brands make excellent shoes these days. Getting the right type of support for your foot is something you need a shop to advise you as has been said earlier. Thereafterm the world is your lobster.
I googled Nike Roshe run review:
Nike Roshe Run aren't meant for running, there are more to the stylish and coolish kind of shoes. ... It is now considered a "sportswear" shoe by Nike, which translates to casual wear. Yes, they are light and comfortable, but they have zero support and improper cushioning/structure.
Get 'em on and get running.
Not all of us need or can run well with 'pillows' under our soles, I certainly can't. If you start with what you've got it may encourage you to take it gently and lightly, and to run off road as much as you possibly can which is all to the good. If you are stuck with road running long term, then it may be prudent to make the move to a more cushioned offering as you get into the later weeks of the programme.
I started C25K in lightweight walking boots. They were certainly better than one pair of running shoes I had properly fitted later! By accident, because I was simply looking for a shoe that wasn't quite such an ethical nightmare as most running footwear, my first running shoes were minimalist and that, it turns out, is what is right for me.
