New Year... New Shoes

I decided to treat myself to a new pair of trainers in the Jauary sales as my old faithful Asics are falling apart and badly needed replacing.

So the day before New Years Eve, I headed on over to Sweatshop in Maidstone where I had some motion analysis done. They basically get you to run on a treadmill in a pair of unsupported shoes to look at your running style and whether you need any additional support in the shoes.

Luckily for me everything was pretty normal in my style and the way I toe off, so I walked away with some new mild support Asics. Job done. It was even better that they were in the sale and I also received an additional 10% off as I'm a Park Runner :)




These are going to see me through the marathon

 Whilst I was there I also invested in some new earphones which I desperately needed - the Phillips ones I've been using have always fallen out and the sound isn't punchy at all. Again at Sweatshop they measure your inner ear size so you can choose the correct earphones.

I've bought some Yurbuds which have been developed by athletes for athletes - and are guaranteed not to fall out. I've run with them in twice this week and have to say, they haven't moved at all. Result! Visit http://yurbuds.com/ for more information.
