If you're running the one thing I wouldn't scrimp on would be the footwear. A good pair of running trainers are definitely worth purchasing. I did that when I first got into running but as you up your distance you really feel the difference. Link to comment

Nah, feel much happier and in a much better place mentally, so got the motivation to get right into shape Running is something I have never, ever done or enjoyed So my logic is, if I historically find it the hardest thing to do, it must give me the greatest benefit Link to comment

Yeah but do you then not need to go to a proper running shop and get your foot/gait analysed before spending big bucks on trainers? Link to comment

Have a quick skim through this and see the bit about working out your gait using a wet bit of paper or something if you feel you need to. A bathroom tile is also just as useful. https://www.advnture.com/features/what-is-your-running-gait-type-and-why-do-you-need-to-understand-how-you-run Incredibly helpful and not one antagonistic jibe Weird for here Haha thanks Link to comment

Yeah, I do maybe 5 secs stretching each calf 5 seconds pulling my foot up to my arse behind me, each leg The kind of Michael Jackson sway, left to right then right to left Couch to 5k app on, runkeeper app on to track time/distance, Spotify rocky 1-6 soundtrack on, 5 min walk then off we go Link to comment

It’s their job They’ll just check you’re not some flat footed mongo and recommend a structured shoe . Expect to pay about £100x Asics are my go to shoe. Haha The Buzzards idea was good I'm going to wet my foot and step on the patio to see what kind of footprint I can see, that will determine the way my foot hits the ground and point towards the shoe type I need Can't do it just now though, it's been raining Link to comment

Nae cars, flat, nice'vibe' as it were. Yeah that's a question There's 2 routes I run, but both are hilly Does the couch to 5k app assume running on a flat surface, so when I'm nailing the weekly challenges I'm really nailing them even more because I've got challenging gradients?
