Gobi - yes, since Wokingham. My shoes are about 8 months old, which equates to about 300 miles of running, plus "walking about" use on a daily basis. If I get new shoes this week, do you think there's enough time to get 'em worn in before Reading on March 6th? And what's the best treatment for a bruised flexor? And what is a flexor? :-)
Even at 300 miles after 8 months and being used they are done mate. If you buy the same shoes that worked until now you should be ok. 2 weeks is a long time in running.
A flexor probably longus pushes your body forward when running, hard impact on warn shoes wold cause bruising
right... I need to phone the Adidas Hotline though, as they don't make my shoes any more (they are called TR1's). Thanks for the advice Gobi One - the force is strong with you ;-)
Could I request that some folks with slower times start putting their details on the site? Each time I take a look, I've dropped further down 'the field'. ;-)
just try to get as similar as you can and get 2 pairs I always have more than one pair of shoes presently 5 pairs in use 3 are nikeair Pegs I pair addidas swoop for fells and a pair of mudrocs for off road
I am about to purchase 2 new pairs as I have 2 on the way out
Gobi - yes, it's for real as far as I know. There's a thread on here somewhere.
McGoohan - don't worry - as soon as you're in danger of slipping too far down the rankings, we'll just subdivide the rankings. So eventually it'll be "fastest run by blokes called McGoohan who are the same age as McGoohan, and are no faster than McGoohan". Unbeatable.
Hehe - I like the idea of buying identical pairs of shoes. That way I can disguise my spending. And if my girlfriend sees both pairs, I'll suggest she has a lie down and sticks a cold flannel on her head. LOL.
I am planning my trip to Sweatshop - won't be 'til Thursday, when I'll go after work.
It's one of those moments when a bloke can only hear bloke advice...i replied to your sore foot post asking how old your trainers were aeons ago. well if my advice is not good enough for you....
<hits self with rolling pin> Sorry Katie. If it makes any difference to you, I hadn't made the assessment that the pain was worst when I was wearing my trainers - so now I'm more able to accept the idea that my lovely lovely trainers are officially knackered.
What a lovely image: fetch, perhaps in the New Forest, pushing his reluctant shoes out of the cardboard box and wiping a tear from his eye: 'Go on little shoes, you'll be happy here, in your new home (sob)'.
And with one, regretful, look back, they are gone.
I see movie potential in this. Sort of, Born Free 2.
