Even though I love my Karrimor tempo 5 trail shoes, they've seen better days and won't be suitable for much longer. So there was no better time to head to Runners Need in Canary Wharf this afternoon for a Gait Analysis to be done.
Was served by Adam. What a lovely guy and even though I was nervous he took his time with me and now I feel much better.
Did my run on the treadmill, "come on Adam slow this thing down" I was saying to myself. "This isn't slow and steady."
Recovered and headed to the computer to see my lower legs and feet in motion. Wow. I already love this place.
Was told I have a good running form. 😊
However my feet do roll inwards slightly. Overpronation it's called. Hmmmm.
So need stability shoes for road running and neutral ones for my usual grass/trail running.
Tried on a few trainers but I did explain my budget and that I wouldn't pay £130 for a pair of trainers. So we went online looking at the sale shoes and some from last season. That's better Adam, more in my price range.
Shoes ordered and should be ready for collection by next week Tuesday. Hopefully they'll fit ok.
I was worried about the price I'd have to pay etc today but I didn't have to pay a penny. The Gait Analysis was free and hopefully I'll end up with a new pair of running shoes to see me through the following months.
Happy days.
P.s. Pic is my faithful Karrimor which will soon be laid to rest. Would of bought another pair but they have changed the design slightly and the new design doesn't feel right anymore.
Shoe Porn! Now a neutral runner!
