Gotta change these shoes

Ran for 3:49 of 5:00 today very disappointed, I feel like I’m going backwards and my right foot is killing me on the outside edge............I’m falling apart at the seems. NOT A HAPPY BUNNY 🐰

Yes! What week are you on 4 or 5? Then most definitely have a gait analysis and fitting for new running shoes..

Slower Steve!

I know, you will say you can’t, but you can.

Speed can come when you are confident with running for 30 minutes.🏃🏻💪🏼

Shoes are so important, particularly for folk like me who are carrying extra poundage. Go to a good independent running shop for a gait analysis if you can 👍🏼

You can’t run on sore feet. My new shoes really helped me.

It’s all part of the process Steve and not a set back at all. Running is new to us so we’re learning and gaining experience.
