Loving the new trainers

Apr

So, whisper it, I think I may be starting to solve the shin splints problem and it could to be down to the new trainers.

Since I got the Brooks Adrenalines on Friday, I have done 10 miles in them, two threes and a four and the pain in my legs seems to be receding daily. I’ve been no slouch on the runs either: while I’ve not been pushing for top speed, I’ve certainly not been dawdling either…

Of course, it’s speculation for now… if I do a long run in them, my legs might just be as bad at the end of it… But with the Brighton marathon this Sunday, having less pain is certainly making me feel better.

What is 1095miles?

A streak running challenge where you run at least three miles a day, EVERY day, for a year - that's right, no days off.

It's also this running blog where you can follow people on the challenge and where and when they ran thanks to some nifty technology from Garmin that tracks them via satellite and shows off a host of other flashy stuff like their heart rates. You can even 'follow' their progress via a little icon that runs around the map at the end of each link.

We also hold the occasional informal run on Tuesday nights in London, meeting at Wellington Arch on Hyde Park Corner for a three-mile trot. Look out for posts of the next run. All ages and abilities welcome, it's a social gathering, not a keep-fit club - although being a bit fitter will be a happy by product.
