I still can’t believe that I’m running for 25 minutes! I never thought my knees and ankles would let me run at all. I’m promising myself some real running shoes and gait analysis when I get to graduation 🤞

It's amazing how far this program takes us. Real shoes are a great idea now you're running further and for longer - it's important if you want to avoid injury. Good luck with the remaining few runs. You've got this 👍

Some are but there are some bargains around at the moment!.. I Believe Brooks had a sale... but buying online i wouldn't recommend unless you first know what sort of shoe you are needing.. A gait analysis will tell you how you are running and will recommend a shoe according to that :-)

Worth every penny .. I promise...
