Ya Beauties

[AlMorr]

Bought these Brooks Glycerin 16 shoes and two pairs of Twin Skin Unisex Anklet - Blister Socks after a neutral gait analysis on a treadmill.

[backintime Graduate]

Oooh more shoe porn : )

They look gorgeous. Well done for treating yourself !

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to backintime]

Loved the treadmill, no longer will I be calling it a dreadmill, the man in shop set it at 6km, with the new shoes on I felt I could have ran a 5K in 30 minutes, however, he switched it off after two minutes. 😊 🏃.

[backintime Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Yes, I think treadmills have a bad reputation, but I have found mine very useful during allergy season

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to backintime]

I liked that treadmill very much, he set it at 6kh, although I was only on it with the new shoes on for two minutes I felt that I could have stayed on it for another 28 minutes, then it would have been a 30 minutes 5K..

[backintime Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

mine only has a speed setting, not pace, so if I set mine at 6km I would take 50 minutes to run 5km lol

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to backintime]

👍

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to backintime]

I am querying that 6km a hour, should that not be 6 minutes a kilometer???! Whatever it was, it definitely was a 6, he said at that pace I would have ran a 30 minute 5K, of course, maybe after 15 minutes I would have slowed down a bit, who knows. 😊

[backintime Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Haha, yes, maybe that one was pace (in minutes) per km, mine is km/h

[lexi6 Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

😂😂 and I bet you could have done it as well 👍. Love those shoes!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to lexi6]

Yes indeed lexi6 I'm glad you like my new shoes....and socks. 😊

[lexi6 Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

And sorry I did forget to mention the socks, they look very comfy love your shoes more though. 👍

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to lexi6]

👍 🧦

[Vintage61 Graduate]

Lush 👍🏻

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Vintage61]

Very lush

[Buddy34 Graduate]

It's all about the shoes . Nice 😊😊

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Buddy34]

Glad you like my new shoes.

[LeeU Graduate]

I've just done week 7 run 2, so six more runs until I book myself in for gait analysis, so far my Sketchers have worked wonders, getting me through C25K all but twice now plus extra runs.

They look like nice shoes.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to LeeU]

Thanks LeeU, they are very nice, not long now until you graduate, after you graduate get a gait analysis and a nice pair of new running shoes.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

PS. That should be ANTI blister socks

[Ang33333 Graduate]

Lovely! Hope you run well in them! I need new road shoes soon...!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Ang33333]

I do hope so as well Ang, you hope to get new running shoes soon, I recommend you go to a good sports shop, they give good advice. 😊 🏃

[notquiteretired Graduate]

Lovely shoes Al, you will run like the wind in them😊Just out of interest, how long does it take for gait analysis as I promised myself proper shoes for graduation but not had time yet, do I need to wear leggings and my own trainers to get it done?

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to notquiteretired]

I got the gait analysis within 3 minutes of entering the shop, the man asked me my normal shoe size, which is size 7, he then asked me to take my shoes AND socks off, go onto a treadmill, start it up slowly and gradually quicken it up to 6kh for around a minute, then showed me a video, sometimes in slow motion of my style of running, pronation, neutral, asked me to try on several shoes a size bigger than my normal 7, I then chose the shoes in the photo from several, finally, I was on the treadmill running with those shoes for a couple of minutes, altogether I was in the shop for about 35 minutes. 😊 🏃

[notquiteretired Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

thanks Al, I was just a bit unsure what to expect, cheers I will pop into town next week and get sorted out😊👍

[Debston Graduate]

FABULOUS!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Debston]

Yes, I agree with you Debston👍😊

[Oldgirlruns Graduate]

Looking good there AlMorr!!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Yip, it was high time I had a gait analysis, I graduated from C25K just over a year ago, have ran several 5Ks but never got a gait analysis until this morning, better late than never. 😊 🏃

[Stephen_UK Graduate]

Beauties indeed!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Stephen_UK]

👍 Yes🏃

[AnnaHod Graduate]

Love them, Alan! Happy running! 🏃‍♂️

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to AnnaHod]

Thank you Anna😊🏃

[UnfitNoMore Graduate]

Nice shoe porn... enjoy that first run in them, you’ll be floating on air.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Thanks UNFITNOMORE, my left foot is a little sore when I run at the moment, probably caused by my last 33.55 minute 5K run last Sunday in ordinary trainers, so high time I bought proper running shoes. 😊 🏃

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

I’d say so! I’ve managed to wear a pair out now, so may be shopping for some more on Friday!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

👍 🏃

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

PS I sort of just thought to myself that I should do something to celebrate a year since I graduated, why not go for a gait analysis and buy proper running shoes, I just did that.

[MuddledGardener Graduate]

Phwoar!!! The shoes, not the legs! Do I spot a Runner’s Tan? 🤣 What make are the socks?

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to MuddledGardener]

I still do a lot of cycling, aways in shorts, my legs are tanned because of that and probably due to running as well.

The socks, which I bought two pairs are

"Twin skin Unisex Anklet Ultimate Anti - Blister socks" will only wear the shoes when running, but wear the socks at other times as well, especially if I am going long walks in the winter months.

[HeavyFoot Graduate]

Nothing neutral about that blue !!! Positively luminous!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to HeavyFoot]

Glad you like them🏃

[Bluesky44 Graduate]

Been looking at a pair of Brooks myself.... definitely on my list to trial out! They look great too!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Bluesky44]

👍 🏃

[ButtercupKid Graduate]

They’re great ! I’ll be thinking of you as Mr Blue Sky from now on 😄

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

Thanks BCK, Mr Blue Sky was a hit in 1977 by group The Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), good song, still sometimes hear it being played, glad you like my new shoes. 😊 🏃

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

I know the song and your shoe colour is perfect for it. May they and you enjoy many happy miles together x

[Pianism Graduate]

So glad you went for gait analysis and got some great running shoes, Alan. I know that when I changed my shoes it made such a difference so I wish you much pleasure and comfort from the Brooks.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Pianism]

Nice that you like my new shoes, they are very comfortable.

[SeeJillRun Graduate]

Ooh lovely! Enjoy!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to SeeJillRun]

Thanks SeejillRun, they are lovely.

[Kevtrev]

Nice trainers Alan and you have got the next ones up from the ghost 11 that I have I hope you got a bargain 😉

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Kevtrev]

Yes Kev, I asked for the ghost 11 shoes you recommended but the man in the shop told me that the Glycerin 16 shoes were the next ones up and a slight improvement on the ghost 11, they cost £135 BUT I got a bargain and paid £99.

[Kevtrev]

That’s a bargain Alan see what happens June July is best to buy to get a bargain I wish I waited and did that but I can’t complain about my trainers they are so comfy next time which I hope I get a few years at least out of these ones and then I might get next ones up the glycerin ones but by the time I get another pair they will have other models out are they a neutral shoe I take it then Alan 😉

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Kevtrev]

Yes, pronation or whatever you call it was neutral regarding my new shoes.

[Kevtrev in reply to AlMorr]

Neutral same as me then enjoy them beauties 😉

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Oh wowsers!!!

They are so awesome and so....Turquoise!!!

Wishing you many...many happy runs in them xx

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Thanks Floss, I like that word wowsers, Turquoise, I liked the treadmill that I was on, from now on I won't be calling it a dreadmill 😂.

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

I used to love ..Happy Days..!

Sometimes the treadmill is necessary..it was a real help to me after I broke my ribs..kept me fit and moving until I could get outside again...

[primaballerina]

lovely shoes, nice legs... and do I see a 'runners' tan line at the sock mark!!!??? : )

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to primaballerina]

Yes, there is a 'runners' tan there on my legs, it's more to do with cycling as I still cycle, always in shorts, but now also with running as well.
