Spent this morning in a running shop getting my gait analysed and buying my very first ever pair of running shoes. Then spent a lovely floaty 28 mins taking them out for their first run. I felt like I was floating on air. Never mind robot legs I had robot shoes lol. What a difference from normal trainers that I had been wearing. Looking forward to many happy miles with them. Now I just need a new wardrobe to match them!
Goodby week 8 hello new running shoes - Couch to 5K

They’re lovely! It’s addictive - before long, you’ll have more running gear than anything else!

Those are very good shoes, you will a few more pairs before you've blinked I use Brooks for long walks and daily chores, Asics for running, both offering great support for my glass-made tendons.
Clothes? No compromise! Go for colours and shock, make a statement. Shades? Don't forget those either
Enjoy yourself, first & foremost!

Those are lovely! I tried the very same pair in last week (but sadly they are too wide for my very narrow kippers). But great looking shoe with a very good reputation. Happy running, Ren! x
I took my time in the shop and got loads of great advice. I hadn't heard of the make before but read up afterwards and really happy with what I read. Most importantly though I'm really happy with how they feel and how the fit. Raring to go for week 9. Got to run to keep up with you x
Well, that might be easier than you think as I am having a wee niggle at the moment! Keep me cheery by reporting your progress. You are doing a grand job, my lovely.
Oh no, I liked your post but wanted to unlike it if you know what I mean! Hope it's nothing bad. I've had a similar week with a sore calf muscle since my run on Wednesday. I really thought I was going to have to delay run 3 but luckily hubby is a sports physio so I've been well looked after and it probably brought forward my shopping trip today by a couple of weeks. Fingers crossed for graduating next Saturday at the local park run. Sending healing thoughts for your niggle. Hope it's gone soon X

Ooh I love them, very nice indeed! Glad you are enjoying your fab floaty robot shoes!
