New shoe magic!

Nearly jacked it after 4/3. Decided to repeat 5/1 a second time with new stability proper running shoes. Unbelievable! Flew through each 5 min section without the crippling leg pain. Some foot 'new shoe' pain but I'm ok with that. Can't cure the fact my right foot is a half size smaller than the left and pronates more, but we are getting there!

It's unbelievable isn't it?! The difference the right (or the wrong 🤔) shoes can make.

If you haven't heard of lace locking, have a look at it, it's a more secure way of lacing your shoes that holds your heel into the shoe better. It helps me (I pronate too). Good luck for 5.2!
