First Run in my new shoes! Wow! What a difference!
Decided to change it up a bit! I set my timer for 35 mins to see how far I could get, thinking Iโd slow my usual pace down with the increase with time & distance! I even introduced a hill into the mix!
My furthest distance to date, over 7k & definitely my most comfortable run! Iโm amazed I ran my 2nd fastest 5k at 24.01, when I didnโt feel like I was pushing that pace!
I think 10k is definitely an achievable target, now!
Iโll put it down to the shoes! Still going to put my head in the oven, still feeling nauseous at the price! Good job itโs electric! ๐ You can take the boy out of Yorkshire, but you canโt take Yorkshire out of the boy! ๐ฐ ๐ฐ ๐ฐ ๐คข๐
I got a pair of รnโs ... if you search for my name you can see Iโve posted a photo of them! They are lush! Worth every penny .. they do make a difference ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ
It's not a brand I've heard of but have just read your post and am glad I've decided to wait rather than buying online. I shall book myself an appointment and see how I get on. I graduated before Christmas but have had to restart as I picked up an injury after getting new trainers because I liked them rather than going for the gait analysis, etc. Now I'll have to try and sell them once I've got my new ones ๐ค
I was going to buy online but so glad I didnโt.. I think itโs ok if you know your size but they fit running shoes a half or full size above your normal size... I did not know this so would have ordered too small
รnโs are Swedish! I love them ๐
Well done on graduating! Seriously.. Iโm doing the programme now and I know it takes commitment and effort! ๐๐๐
So sorry you had to hit the couch for a few weeks due to injury... you must be so frustrated..
I canโt recommend a running shop and gait analysis highly enough... I bought them early on in my running journey but want to give myself the best chance and protect my knees and back
Good luck - you can research รn brand online but do go to shop- they know their stuff ๐ x
Hi RunGirl! I got Brooks GTS20โs! I had a bit of cycle fitness before start ing C25K, which has deffo helped! My progress has been amazing, but unexpected! Currently say here with left knee pain! Progress might be put on hold! ๐คnot for too long! Howโs your progress?
I finished Week 3 of C25k today ๐คฃ so much as the progress - I am just starting out really.
I am so excited for every single run and cannot wait to start week 4! It feels amazing every week to discover that I am capable to do more than I thought at the start - I love running
Great to hear! You will definitely feel improvement, week on week! Just donโt try push hard, too soon! You will have some bad runs, but the good ones will make you forget them!
That's fab. Well done. I need to get new running shoes. What did you go for? I got some new ones at Christmas but they are not right for me and I ended up developing an injury. My own fault. Went to SD and just picked a pair I liked. Did you get the gait analysis done? X
Hi, I got a pair of Brooks GTS20โs! I had a gait analysis! It showed as being normal until I stand on 1 leg, then my foot collapses in! It felt strange running on a treadmill! Respect to people who complete C25K on one! The show they recommended has extra support on the inside of my feet! Apparently I kick my legs out to the side when I run! Might of just been the strange feeling of running on a treadmill!
My new shoes feel like cotton wool!
Knee pain now though, so maybe over did it, yesterday! Deffo get a gait analysis, wish I could have weeks ago! Iโve had a niggle in my knee for a while, now! Hope Iโm not out of action for too long! ๐ค
Don't lose heart and listen to your body. I'm redoing C25K as I didn't listen and kept on pushing. I'm blaming the shoes but maybe it's my stubbornness ๐
Ha ha! Me too! At least I know if I have to re-start, I know what to expect & not go charging at it like a mad bull! Hopefully, a bit of rest will sort it! ๐ค ๐
