I decided it's time to consign my old trainers to the bin. Off to the shop. I need new running shoes I said ( not trainers you'll note). Young fit assistant said, sure what running do you do. Oh I said, I run 5k's!! ok she said.... afterwards I thought 5k's?? Where did that come from - well I've done one 5k, w9r1!! I guess that makes me a 5k runner now 😊😊

Running shoes or trainers, that is the question, so you run 5k's, regarding week 9 run 1, that is 30 minutes, if you run 5K in 30 minutes before you graduate, then you are among the 10% of runner's who do so. 😊

Hmmm. Well I was naughty, ran 5k in 38 minutes and now recovering from injury. A salutary lesson and when I redo week 9 I'll STICK TO THE DAMN PLAN!

πŸ˜‚ well, you’ll be running 5ks

The trainer/shoe issue came to mind when I was listening to running commentary the other day... one of the blokes couldn’t find one of his training shoes, so was wearing his race shoes... just as I thought I understood!

Apparently if you ask for trainers they teach you with contempt. If you ask for running shoes you get respect
