When I started C25K I remember sharing with my virtual running buddies that I was used to wearing six inch heels and hated trainers, I even stayed bare foot for the first 4 weeks.
Anyhow now just 4 months down the road and guess what - I pick out my running shoes over my heels now to go to the shops 😱
My partner is not so happy and keeps saying you won’t go all “ Ath leisure” will you ?😂
So this weekend I’m going to try my heels again - clearly not for a run but to see if I can still walk in them.
As for the running that’s going good I do 3 or 4 good runs a week all sticking around 30- 40 min run time 10 mins of warm up/ down and covering 6/7k all in as an average. I’m happy with that and I can achieve within my week quite easily so sticking with it as it appears to be working.
Happy running everyone.

I am 39, and 4’10, naturally I’d love to be taller but always been mindful of how bad heels can be. I’m always in comfy trainers or walking shoes most of the time as I’m quite active. I save the heels for work in the office environment, and stick to M&S court shoes (insolia range) and occasionally (very occasionally) dressing up going out and weddings! But I can’t wait to take them off as soon as I put them on! 😂
I wish I could wear heels. I know they are not good for your feet but they look so nice and I’m quite short. But I just find it hard to walk in them and not look like a toddler wearing their mum’s shoes 😂
I know exactly what you mean re the heels I’m only 4’10” that’s why I’ve always worn them but since running I must confess the lower the better now 👠👡🥿👟
Hahaha. I have the opposite problem. I’ve always worn sneakers and never wear heels. I wore flats at my wedding and wear flats to work daily. My husband would probably be beside himself if I wore heels but I just can’t seem to walk in them.
You’ve done your feet a massive favour. Feet often get neglected and need the most care in our physiology as they carry us around all day! Achilles can be so painful, I had it last year for a few months and I do not even wear heels so much!
I agree I’m happy at 30 and 40 min runs about 5 or 6k
I’ve still not tried a park run yet as I like the alone time although missangel287 has challenged me and to join her on a half marathon - maybe we all should.
Glad the dogs are doing well and getting lots of rosettes x
