πŸ‘Nice surprise on my rest day. Been a few weeks waiting but UPS have finally delivered (all the way from Deutschland!)

Hoping these become my secret weapon completing remaining few runs... apparently the ad said they have extra β€˜boing’ so they better share my workload 😁

What does the "boing" mean please Quadro?πŸ€” Elaborate please!πŸ€” I like the Gel Plus 2! Does this mean it gives your feet more cushioning whilst running????

Yes, extra cushioning and bounce on the stride. I need every little bit of help!

Wow nice one! That will definitely help you and hopefully less impact on your feet and knees Quadro!πŸ‘πŸ€—

Looks like I have to recommend these now to my sons and daughter and friends as well πŸ˜πŸ‘πŸ˜

I've had several pairs of Gel Pulse - a very good all-round shoe. Enjoy!

oooooo they look loverly - hope they are every bit as good a fit as they are to look at, and that they help you with your final runs - good luck with everything!!πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

They look very smart. You will fly as well as boing! If you don't mind me asking, how long from order until delivery did they take? I ordered some from ASICS on 19th March and they are not even showing as having been dispatched as yet.

Thank you. Took just over 3 weeks. I didn’t realise they were coming from abroad until after I’d placed order on their UK website. They did send emails apologising for delay, I think it’s combination of high demand and getting through our customs post Brexit.

Thanks. Coincidently I've received a shipping confirmation this morning. Would be useful if they arrive before Easter but I think I may be being optimistic. Something to look forward to!

I love new shoes They look great, you'll be flying in them. The extra boing reminds me of some "moon shoes" my sister had, they were little trampolines you strapped to your feet.

Thanks, and your sister’s moon shoes sound like a great idea for these runs!!

Oh they look snazzy! Hope the β€˜boing’ helps, I think I could do with that too πŸ˜‚

Waiting for the shops to open so I can get my gait analysis done. Hubby agreed to treat me to new trainers if I managed to complete the program, just one week to go!!

Thank you and well done already for getting this far on the program.

FYI - If you’ve had your gait analysis done previously and know what your pronation is, the ASICS website is great at helping you choose the right trainers for you (what I did), otherwise will have to wait for shops. Good luck with W9, you got this!πŸ‘ŠπŸ½

ThanksNever had it done before so I’ll have to wait. At least the shops will be open just in time for me to graduate 😁
