W5R3. In the bag. Can I get new trainers now?

[Grannyasbo]

Hey hey hey 20mins non stop. I think I should get proper trainers 😆. Read all the advice (not going to shops cos partner vulnerable) so its online for me after taking my foot print of course. Any advice welcome. Thanks to all for the encouragement and support that got me this far. 👍💪😀

Congratulations on completing run 3 of week 5, that is a milestone run with C25K, you deserve to buy a pair of new running shoes for completing that run. 🏃🏾 👍

Feels like a milestone and it’s great. Thanks 🙏

Well done! I got them on W5R2 so never too early to get the correct running shoes

[Grannyasbo Graduate in reply to packersruns]

Definitely. Hope you like your new trainers. I hear new shoes make you go faster 🤣.

[packersruns Graduate in reply to Grannyasbo]

That’s definitely true hahaha 😂

Well done Grannyasbo 👍 treat yourself to those trainers you’ve conquered the dreaded W5R3 you’ve definitely earned them 😀

[Grannyasbo Graduate in reply to Couchphoenix]

Thanks I was dreading it somewhat but now feel really good and quite proud. 👍

Buy a size bigger than your normal shoes. The sale section of sportsshoes.com has some great bargains and their customer service is excellent. 👍

[Grannyasbo Graduate in reply to Speedy60]

Thanks speedy. I’ll check it out. 👍

[Buzzybeeze Graduate]

Well done. It’s a great feeling to complete that first 20 minute run! Good luck for W6.

[Grannyasbo Graduate in reply to Buzzybeeze]

Onwards and upwards feels like I can take it on now. Thanks v much. 😀

You definitely deserve new trainers. I was going to wait until shops opened...but took an injury on W8R2 ....it took near 4 weeks to recover, and I started back in New trainers (broke these in during recovery time) ....turns out I needed a half size bigger. I put my old trainers on to cut the grass this week, and ouch...they are too small! So yay, go get yourself something new online ...and follow their sizing guides. (Adidas worked well for me)

[Grannyasbo Graduate in reply to FitterFor40]

Great advice thanks very much for sharing your experience. Glad to hear you recovered from your injury. Enjoy your running 😀
