Lockdown 2021 Run Challenge

I honestly donā€™t like ASICS shoes, maybe they donā€™t suit my feet, or New Balance

Saucony would be my brand of choice, Iā€™ve had two pairs of Brooks and wasnā€™t that keen on them.

What do you want in the shoe?

Donā€™t go with Runhub if looking for a wide fit - they messed me around for months when looking for one in a Hoka after their gait analyis which was a bit of a con. Runzone in Rathgar were excellent after.

Something light with a bit of stability and durability for running on the road.

Iā€™m ok with this time
Might get a other go on a better weather day

Im not really happy with buying online for that very reason. Needs must though. Current pair are starting to fall apart. Will check out Runzone cheers.

@TreatyStones impressive session today. What recovery did you take between reps

60 seconds.

Was delighted with it, but felt a tweak in the hamstring on the last one. Hoping it was just a little bit of cramp, but dubious enough.

If my hamstring is ok ill be out Saturday morning. I wonā€™t come near your time regardless so you are safe enough.

If youā€™re happy with the shoes you have now and they need replacing, I would just get a new pair of them. At least you will know the fit. You could go in for fitting etc when stores reopen, or alternatively order two pairs to try out knowing you will be sending back at least one.

Got a pair of Mizunos about 3 years ago and havenā€™t looked back since. The latest pair are the best yet.

Doing intervals on your own is very difficult.

@caulifloweredneanderthal youā€™ll have to put me down for relegation as Iā€™m out of the weekend. Definitely did some damage to the hamstring yesterday so Iā€™m going to be on the easy list for a few weeks.
