New shoes

[chunkypie]

Thinking of buying new shoes. The ones I use now are ok, still comfortable but starting to wear. Doing W6R3 Saturday so I know its continuous runs from now on. So is it the right time to change to new shoes or should I stick with what I know until I complete c25k?

I changed shoes at W5R2 - I think it's better to do it now rather than later so your shoes are correct for you whilst running. If I would have continued with my ones I would have been on the injury couch for quite a bit, because mine had 0 support. Plus I believe that new shoes give you new running powers 😂

I changed mine at week 7 and that was a smart move for me- love the new ones, only use them for running 🏃‍♀️

If your shoes are wearing, take note of where they're wearing. Uneven wear might point at problems with your technique, eg. heel striking or pronation.

Thanks all, I'll go for new shoes 👍
