Lack of motivation

[Lovedobby]

Hi all have not been on here for a while as motivation seemed to have deserted me, I haven't been out running for a week due to making excuses about weather,cold etc. But gave myself a kick up the butt this morning and went out. Did 8k in 70 mins, know it's not a brilliant time or speed but went slow and completed it. Have put my gremlins too bed 😂 . Hoping to get faster next time. I wondered if anyone can give me any suggestions on what is the best make for running shoes. Are makes like Adidas, Rebook worth considering or are there any makes people can recommend. Thanks

Well done for getting back out there - motivation always takes a hit once the clocks have gone back, but you bashed those gremlins!As for the best shoes? There's no real answer to that. A good start is to have a gait analysis at a specialist running shop - they're experts at finding the right shoes for you. But no one brand is "best", just a matter of finding what's best for you 🏃‍♂️
