Friday bits and bobs

runnersneed.com/about-us/re...

The above I stumbled across last night, may be of use to some of you fellow runners out there 👍.

Non Running day in Wales for me, you've gotta take those rest days🤓👍.

Luckily that meant I got to wait in for the postie who was due to deliver my expected parcel........ Taps toes and waits.... Ding-Dong doorbell alert 🙂.

Joining my other pairs of runners the newly acquired 2nd hand Brooks Launch5 and after a quick fit-test all's good just as comfy as the others. This is the first time purchasing 2nd hand runners but as the seller said, they've only had little use( wrong size bought). So we'll give them a go and at £30 inc postage not bad me thinks.

Happy Friday runners back out there tomorrow after the pending nightshift later 😬...

Love the shoes, and a bargain too. Happy running in them x

[Hidden in reply to MoliJ]

I was a tad dubious MoliJ but they seem like a pretty good purchase, definitely a road only shoe 👍

[MoliJ Graduate in reply to Hidden]

They look great, I had to sell my first pair of running shoes as I stupidly thought I needed the same size shoe as I usually wore. My long time running daughter told me I need a size and a half bigger. She was so right.

[Hidden in reply to MoliJ]

Yikes andl grrrrr sooooo frustrating MoliJ

What a fantastic idea, just read the link you posted all bit far from me which is a shame as my old trainers are still sat on the shelf, but if i ever go near a store i shall take them along and hand them in.

Bargin for 30 quid like, i didnt understand all your poat though 😂😂

[Hidden in reply to Shar71]

I didn't dig and see if they have an online service regarding the recycling offer Shar71, it may be worth checking especially with the covid-19 situ and people not able to visit shops etc, sometimes retailers will end over backwards to help customers👍

[Shar71 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Good idea i will look into this further

[Hidden in reply to Shar71]

🕵️‍♀️ Happy hunting hopefully with success

[John_W Graduate]

Thank you VERY much for posting this. I have 2 pairs that I've kept for this exact opportunity .

[Hidden in reply to John_W]

Glad to be of assistance John_W I never knew of the shop truth be told, but they've opened a store in Chester,and it's got some switched on staff so that's always a help👍

[John_W Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Chester's the closest one for me.

[Hidden in reply to John_W]

On the high street just down from the famous "not real food" burger shop definitely worth a visit, except if you're in Wales coz the fine would make for a damn expensive pair of trainers 🙄

[Oldgirlruns Graduate]

Cool looking feet covers there Imc50! Lots of happy running miles to come I hope!

[Hidden in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Let's hope so Oldgirlruns, and given the price I'm a happy runner 🙂

[Buddy34 Graduate]

What a bargain Imc50. They look brand new😊👍

[Hidden in reply to Buddy34]

They ain't done a lotta Running Buddy34 👍

[Buddy34 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

I'm sure you'll put them through plenty👍

[Hidden in reply to Buddy34]

I'm gonna have to get a shoe rota 🥳

[SueAppleRun Graduate]

That’s amazing for Brookes

I always used to buy Reeboks, second hand off ebay, one day I bid on 5 and won 4 and felt a bit silly but they are a good fit

I’m not sure my very expensive 361 degrees are any better

[Hidden]

Good ebaying I reckon W&S you can never have to many shoes 👍

[nowster Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Have you seen my collection? 😉

[Hidden in reply to nowster]

A totally illegal amount 🤭🐙

[Jell6 Graduate]

That's a great initiative.

I might have to have a look at this😊

[Hidden in reply to Jell6]

It's definitely money for nothing Jell6 it's a win win
