A little pre-Christmas shoe porn

Lovely new shoes for Christmas! Stuck to what I know - Brooks Ghost - as I’ve had two previous pairs which have been great. Keeping them till after Christmas and when the weather is not as wet.

Managed to get out this morning in my old shoes before the weather really closed in. Run 3 of week 4 done but I’ll repeat it at least once before moving on to week 5. Hoping to do a wee Christmas Day run before the madness starts but we’ll see…

Heard a wee bit on radio 4 about running shoes and it concluded that gait analysis and shoes to correct over pronation are not helpful and might even increase the chance of injury. Same with overpriced shoes. Oh well, I’ve already bought mine and it did conclude that comfort is the most important thing so I’m justified on that score.

I can’t download the link but you can search on bbc sounds for Sliced Bread Christmas on radio 4. Interesting listening.

Merry Christmas to you all 🎅🏽🎄

Ooh, those are lovely, another Brooks fan here!

I heard that programme too and it emboldened me to buy some new running shoes online for my husband. I'm pretty sure he overpronates but he can run in absolutely anything, unlike me, and fingers crossed never seems to do himself any harm as a result, also unlike over cautious and meticulous me. He loves the new shoes...the irony is I bought myself a pair too, Pumas, but they didn't fit and mine had to go back 😂

Probably gonna stick to Brooks in future
