Congratulations KDMBTS so here's what I was told when I first ventured into a grown up running shop 😎, look at your feet as contact points, much like tyres on your car 👍, the better the tyres the safer you are. So those trainers yep I'd invest. The rest of the running kit can come at a later date, but the shoes hmmm they're top of your list..... Hey shopping 🙂

Well Done. KDMBTS this post is useful it suggests that you invest in a decent pair of trainers beyond week four and suggests that you get a gait analysis done before you purchase as this would ensure that you get the right running shoe. Good luck on your journey

My thought today as I was trying to run wk4 run2 up to my ankles in mud and water was ‘I’m so glad I haven’t got my new trainers on!’!!
