Just got some Brookes Ghost runners.

They make my current trainers feel like deep sea diving boots!

Might just give them a whirl tomorrow.

I have never paid over £60 for any shoes before.

Look up Mayor Khan, I may be flying past your house tomorrow.

My shoes are light, about 140g (5oz) each. Normal shoes now feel very heavy on my feet.

As I can confirm, Rennur they are super trainers 👍

After W6R3 I bit the bullet and bought some Brooks Adrenaline runners after a gait check.Now done 4 runs in them and they make such a difference compared with my old shoes.

On the subject of shoes I couldn’t agree more, after a gait analysis I was recommended a pair of Hoka, it’s like running on soft pillows of air. It’s incredible the evolution in shoe design and technology, when I think back to the Dunlop Green Flash of my youth which when I grew out of them I got posh and upgraded to the Silver Flash (not a Gold Flash kinda guy) there’s absolutely no comparison. I’ve also got a pair from New Balence which are rubbish fir running in but feel like a pair of slippers which don’t have a tongue but are sort of all in one.

I felt a bit deflated, in a weird way, after my gait analysis. No pronation or supination. My ankles are as perpendicular as anything. So no excuses there! My right foot sticks out a bit but I know that. I went to the clinic when I was about 7 to stop me walking like a penguin. It didn't change me much. I only ran about 50m further in 30 minutes than last week. I did another 2-3 minutes very slow jogging which I might not have done last week so I think I will be a distance man rather than being a speedster. Maybe I'll see the Mayor on Tooting Common once I start doing those longer distances after Consolidation.
