Not desperate. She has two pairs on the go (which are lasting well) and two pairs in waiting.
However, I agree with you. I follow the high mileage regime too ie last week was 60mpw. Objective is to be much higher.
Patience is a Virtue :-)
The sole seems odd to me, and I don't like shoes that don't have a raised arch, so I'm interested to hear your perspective.
My two-penny worth:
The mayflys are the lightest shoe around by virtue of their upper. I don't think the midsole is particularly minimal at all. I expect some other 'mainstream' racers would feel better.
Anyone remember the old adidas neftanga? I think they would do a better job of providing a bit more cushioning than RC150s, without disrupting the natural feel so much.
Don't know if you can still get them though.
I've managed to train myself to run pretty efficiently now but form does go slightly as I tire (I did a treadmill test at the Sports Centre at Leeds Met. Univ.). I'm finding I'm doing a lot of running in a very old and well used pair of Tiger Paws at the moment. They aid a midfoot style.
So the Mayflys and 150s are out for a marathon. Still not sure...
Might try the Nike Marathoners, but being a Yorkshire man I'm loath to pay more than £30 for a pair of trainers!

While I'm here, anyone got a suggestion for a shoe similar to the Nike ventulus. Seems you can only get hold of this in a size 3!
I'm not that light so horses for courses I guess
They do look very interesting.
Also, how do the DS Racers compare to the Ekidens?
Although I see a shop in the Midlands is doing 834's for £40 - looks from the gear page like these might cause blisters though.
Been having lots of probs with my right foot recently. Think it stems from the 10 miler I did in DEec - I got blisters on my left foot from 3 miles in they were killing me. I wonder whether my rigth foot over-compensated, and combined with my new action, where I supinate, it's over-stressed the foot.
For over two weeks it's been very frustrating. It's felt like it just needs to "click back into place". I've had an ache on my instep morph into pain at the base of my toes, morph into sharp pain on my ball of my foot, and back to the instep again etc! Up until yesterday I was walking like a cripple - it made me even more irascible than ever!
Thankfully seems to have solved itself now - such relief!
- Uppers
- Soles
According to my training notes I've owned them for 10-11 months, and have done about 800miles on them. I often wear them for normal outdoor use. They get washed often in w/m cold water but no detergents.
I think the picture quality is pretty good for SE K750 mobile phone !!
PS: Barnsleyrunner, the Puma's are RED - not orange ;-)
As to the orange/red debate, I'd have to see them to judge fairly. Anyone can mess about with the colour of electronic images...
:-)
I've been doing 4-mile runs in my Teva Protons (still the most slipper-like shoes I've run in) and feeling good, so my technique must be improving.

For those of you who use NB RC150s, how many miles usage do you normally get out of them before they get binned?
Cheers!
Dave
I don't bin them as I use them for indoor treadmill running.
Hope they're ok :-)
