Totally spontaneous: C25K first outing completed after spotting then downloading app. Been 45 years since I last ran and then I was being chased! Pleased with myself today. I now feel the need to purchase a pair of running shoes to enhance the experience.
Any suggestions for a keen novice?
Enjoy your running and especially in your new running shoes, I am just a bit curious to know about your last run 45 years ago and why you were being chased. ?! 🙄
That’s exactly how I started and I’m still going! I would recommend going to a running shop to do a gait analysis. This tells you how your foot falls and what type of shoe you may need. Have a look at the FAQ.
Well done on starting!
That’s a new one on me... ‘gait analysis’. I feel I’m limping slowly yet surely into a brave new world. Thank you for the tip and the encouragement.
Most importantly keep posting here, everything you feel (physically or mentally) someone else will have experienced it. This forum is what kept me going! I hope you love it as much as I do!
Well done on your first step! The difficult bit is over.
My advice is to read all the FAQ blog posts!
Hopefully you’ll be running
into a whole new world
DaiFit, rather than limping- gait analysis and a decent pair of running shoes should sort that out. Oh, and the forum expect to see a photo of all new shoes purchased! You are truly embarking on something rather weird ......
Oh yes, tell him about shoe porn : D
So it begins!
