Cheers for recommending these, did a 9k this afternoon and not one blister was had
They must be magic

How come a workmate is organising your hosiery?
Get my gym kit washed at work for ease, they 'lost' my socks and two pairs of shorts.

The missus is wanting to give running a go, what footwear should I get her?
Half decent/cheap pair?
Cheers

i'd go to sweatshop in St Pauls and get her gait analysis done and find the right pair and get it off the internet. i got my brooks adrenaline gts13 from there at 50% with health insurance but at full whack it's a lot more expensive than elsewhere.

I run on soft/ trail ground 80% of the time. I intend to use the Hattori's for trail running and the others for when I run on the road and race.
Free Run's have been great - I had major issues with shin splints and my whole leg going numb for about a year using cushioned shoes, soon after switching to free run's, the problems disappeared. So I think I have good reason to try out some more minimalist shoes.

Know this had probably been talked about before but what are your average 10k times? Only recent taken up running after getting bored of the usual gym routine. Been doing several 3/4k through the week then a 10k on a Sunday, managed to get it down to 55mins which I'm quite happy at.

42:36 currently, but will be aiming for sub 40 (or thereabouts) in my next race

Anyone tried running on very little or no carbs for a longer period of time? I'm was around 90kg and did 5 runs a week just above 45min/10k, problem was I gained weight the more I trained cause of the increased carb intake and was hitting the wall after 15-20km, interval training didn't help very much. Want to increase stamina for longer runs, marathons etc and get back to my natural weight of around 82-83 so trying to force the body to work with fat instead of carbs which should work in theory, already down 4kg after 2 weeks as the ketosis kicked in pretty quick doing the same training as before only much slower, can't run fast if my life depended on it now, pressed to do a 10k under 60 mins. How long should it take before the body adapts? Was thinking of giving it two more weeks and if I don't see any improvement i'll get back on the pizza and beer. Fuk running gurus please advise.

Any fukers use strava for running? I started running 2 weeks ago, find it really good for measuring progress
just stick with the iphone until you're sure you can run in both of those shoes. i guess the hattoris are more in line with your frees.
