Breaking in new shoes

[Mause]

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 👍

[Mause Graduate in reply to misswobble]

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?

[misswobble Graduate in reply to Mause]

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 🏃‍♂️

[Mause Graduate in reply to misswobble]

Thanks so much for your advice ☺️ Started with a bit of a walk in between rain showers yesterday, hope to walk a couple k’s tonight after work, then that should do! Must admit I have long legs so that helps getting a high pace 😋

I used mine to walk the dogs to break them in, seemed to work.

[Mause Graduate in reply to backintime]

A walk it is then 😬 can’t wait for their first real test, felt great at the store 😎

[backintime Graduate in reply to Mause]

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

[Mause Graduate in reply to backintime]

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

[Mause Graduate in reply to backintime]

LOL! There you go 😉

[backintime Graduate in reply to Mause]

Lovely, I can see why you want to try them out (I live vicariously through other people's shoe photos )

Shoe porn rules !

[Mause Graduate in reply to backintime]

Glad to be at your service 😜 yay shoe porn!

[backintime Graduate in reply to Mause]

Truth be told, I took a quick look first then had to zoom in to see that it said "Fresh Foam" and not "Fresh Porn", I was most disappointed that they haven't incorporated shoe porn directly into the shoe

[Mause Graduate in reply to backintime]

😂😂😂 I’ll contact New Balance’s Marketing Department on your behalf 😜

[Mause Graduate in reply to LUHAN]

Phenomenal 🤩 did W8R1, couldn’t stop smiling the first 15 minutes. And broke every pb I had previously set 🙈

[LUHAN Graduate in reply to Mause]

That's great to hear!!! So glad they are good for you. Well done.

[Mause Graduate in reply to LUHAN]

I think I ran 5k in 26:49.. think I’m Reading Runkeeper wrong 😂 and 6,3k in 36:55 (including warm up and cool down...)

[LUHAN Graduate in reply to Mause]

You are flying.. not running!

[Oldgirlruns Graduate]
