Trainers recommendation

[CJAY46]

Hi, on Wk4 run 3, and I'm just wondering if I should invest in a good pair of trainers. I don't want to really spend more than about £50. I have looked but there are so many to choose from, so any recommendations would be really appreciated. Thanks x

Welcome to the forum and well done on your progress.

In the guide you will find a link to a post about buying shoes which will give you basic information required to help purchase shoes. Don't take any specific recommendations too seriously as the perfect shoes for one may be wholly inappropriate for you.

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

and includes advice on minimising impact, stretching after every run, hydration and strengthening exercises, all of which will help.

Enjoy your journey.

I love the Brooks Ghost 12. You might be able to find a pair for your price range as the 13 is the latest style.

I thought I'd looked at all the options, assessing my running style and looking at how I wear my shoes before buying some that have proved to be completely wrong for me as I power walk rather than jog- But my more recent sale bargin bin purchase has turned out to be great -so all I can say is spend some time reading as much as you can about it. 🤷‍♀️

You need to know if you over pronate or not so that you know of you need neutral or support shoes. Go a full size up too. You might struggle to find any for £50.
