W2R2- wearing the right trainers

just completed W2R2 only this time I was wearing proper pair or running trainers. I cannot emphasize the importance of good trainers. My previous runs caused me a lot of calf pain and some shin pain too but after wearing these trainers I had no pain whatsoever.I am also 4 stone overweight. Rest day tomorrow then the final W2 run on Fri. Bring it on

Did your new trainers come with wings for your ankles too? LOL Good shoes just make everything go sooooo much better, don't they?

Enjoy your running!
