Hello all. Please can I have advice about the above?

My trainers seem fine but is this something I should be looking into?

I’m on week 5 and the thought of someone looking at me running is very scary. Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me .

I went to the sweat shop and had my gait analysis and it was out the back of the shop in a separate room they mostly do it by you standing on a glass plate and then walking quickly on a treadmill and only if you want to running on the treadmill but only for a little while. It’s not too bad and they do it all the time and he knew all about c25k 😀

Well done! You'll be fine on the treadmill, you'll only be on it for up to about 30 secs, think mine took half that time. There's some great info in the following link and especially check out the link in there regarding which shoe's..
