About to start W8 I decided to get me some proper new shoes. It’s been advized to run them in no longer than 2k. Is it a wise idea to squeeze in an extra 2k run, while keeping my 3x per week schedule..? Like to start using them for C25K asap, as my old ones are trying to murder me 😆 just don’t want to risk anything as progress has been fenomenal so far..

Just use them on plan You’re going to go slowly 👍😃. Wear them out and about to help bed them in
I hope you run many happy miles together 👍
Thanks for your quick reply! Hitting a pace of around 5:10-5:30/km already, type of guy who can’t bear to take it slow 🙈 maybe a nice long walk would do?
Oh crikey! That’s a bit soon to be flooring it. If your legs are new to running I’d ease off the gas I really would
Walking will help bed them in for sure 😃👍🙂. New Balance are usually good to go straight out the box mind you 🏃♂️

I used mine to walk the dogs to break them in, seemed to work.
A walk it is then 😬 can’t wait for their first real test, felt great at the store 😎
I got mine on a run day but after my run, and it was my 2 day break, so they had 6 dog walks before I used them to run
Same here, ran this morning, but my feet kill me more and more after each run so got in the shower and went for new ones. Impulsive buyer? Noooo 😆
I do notice we didn't get a photo though, we like shoe photos here
LOL! There you go 😉
Lovely, I can see why you want to try them out (I live vicariously through other people's shoe photos )
Shoe porn rules !
Glad to be at your service 😜 yay shoe porn!

Love the new shoes!!
Thanks! Hope I’ll still like ‘em after a few runs 😉
Hopefully....let us know!
Phenomenal 🤩 did W8R1, couldn’t stop smiling the first 15 minutes. And broke every pb I had previously set 🙈
That's great to hear!!! So glad they are good for you. Well done.
