Completed W6R3 today. These little beauties arrived by courier this evening. A treat to myself for getting this far. Can't wait until Monday to start W7. Looking forward to the last three weeks of the programme.

How did you select these shoes? Did you have a gait analysis and try them on a running machine in the shop?

Hi, I had a gait analysis done. The analysis revealed I had a 'neutral' gait. I tried on about 8 pairs of trainers (including the black version of the ones in the picture) and walked around the shop to try them out. These are quite comfortable. After making up my mind I decided to go online though to buy so I could use my discount code. I got a further 10% off and only paid £31 for them. Will run in then for the first time tomorrow when I attempt W7R1 and leg you know how it goes.

Sounds great! It shows you don't have to spend a fortune.

I've got some Karrimors too - in fact I'm basically a walking (running) advert for them these days! I'm on a tight budget but find their stuff can be reasonably priced while still doing the job. I've had no problems at all since getting my trainers at the start of my c25k training & I used to suffer with an intermittent knee issue on one side & have an enlarged toe joint/bunion on the other side! Hopefully they'll be good for you too.
