W5R3 and new shoes....

Tomorrow is W5R3. Got the all clear, plus encouragement from the Doc after W5R2 on Wednesday. Decided to treat myself to some proper running shoes instead of the £20 plastic trainers. Got a full gait analysis and some recommended Brookes Launch 5 shoes, and proper socks.

So tomorrow will be interesting.....

Nice! Launch 5s were the “other” Brooks I tried on. Really, really comfy.

I think I tried on 6 different shoes. The fitter said he didn't like the way my feet moved in the Ghosts, otherwise I would have had those, despite the higher cost. Have to trust the professionals, and he did spend nearly an hour on me.

With new shoes and new socks you’ll be whipping round ... obviously slowly whipping round 😊
