Onwards and upwards

[Harrishawk]

Hi everyone.

Well having completed wk3 run3 on Thursday in cheap trainers without any issues at all, I was still tempted to buy a pair of " proper " running shoes for the step up to wk4...So treated myself to these.

although not the magic carpet the price suggested, I completed run 1 this morning and must say they felt very good, didn't feel too bad myself either.

Thanks to everyone for their contributions to this forum, they really help.

Did you have a gait analysis?

[Harrishawk Graduate in reply to IannodaTruffe]

Hi.

Yes I did , I`m neutral .

I`m sure the new shoes will be better for me , but I really liked my cheap old pair.😊

These are lovely new running shoes for the remaining weeks for you on C25K, they will feel much more comfortable than the old trainers, ONWARDS AND UPWARDS to week 4😊🏃🏾

[Harrishawk Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Thank you.

they certainly made me feel lighter, well my wallet anyway,😒

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Harrishawk]

My running shoes were the most expensive shoes that I have ever bought, so I certainly don't want to ruin them by running through mud and large puddles, if I did want to run in muddy conditions I will buy a pair of trail shoes which look like boots made especially for running in mud.

😆 I’m like bambi on ice every time I set off🙄 🤣

I recently got new shoes, yes they’re great..... however I had visions of floating along like an Olympian, feet barely touching the ground..... yep, didn’t happen 😉🙃

Great shoes! You'll have to keep going now. 👍

Hi there, did you get a proper analysis done on what would be best for you? If so, where did you get it done? Thanks

[Harrishawk Graduate in reply to Slowgirl]

Hi.

I did indeed have gait analysis, very quick and efficient, at `Cotswold outdoors` Bagshot in Surrey,

I recommend them , very good service.

Just bite your lip at the checkout ...😂

I invested in a pair of high end New Balance runners and gel inserts. They make a huge difference and help prevent injury. My son gave me a pair of Vorex performance socks from Athletes Foot just recently and these made a big difference as well.

It's worth spending the money if you are serious about running.

Well done Harrishawk. I still use old trainers but you have inspired me to get a good decent pair👏. Happy running
