I absolutely love reading posts like this. From doing nothing to being in training for a marathon, all inside three weeks! Hat duly doffed to you mate. Keep us updated with how you're getting on. You've given me a bit of a boost ahead of this morning's long run that I'm currently trying to talk myself into doing.Well I quit the cigs New Year’s Eve and have gone from 0 miles to 8 miles in 20 days. Feel loads better and I’m going to train for a marathon again. Running certainly changes my mental outlook that’s for sure
I am way too lazy for this. My approach is to own about 4 pairs of running shoes, and, as they get older, 'relegate' them down the pecking order. So my newest ones are saved for dry days when I know they won't see any mud etc., whereas the oldest ones are used when it's rainy, muddy etc. (that's basically 99% of the time in rural Cumbria) or if I'll be party off-road, and I just have those as my dirty shoes that I don't really care about.How often do people wash their running shoes?
I do it once a week if it has been dry, and after every run if wet etc.
I give them a quick scrub in the kitchen sink. Rinse, then put them on a radiator.
I don't have smelly feet, but just like to keep them looking good etc.
Never! What’s the point? On the next run they’ll just get covered in mud again..How often do people wash their running shoes?

Brilliant mate!!My 4yr old wanted to come running with me this morning for the first time. We did 2.6 miles in the snow. He didn’t moan once and ran 90% of it. Both fell over, mud over the tops of our trainers, happiness level 11/10!
Yer big tart!! Just back from ten miles in the snow, great funDid 9.75 KM this morning in horrendous conditions. Wasn't enjoyable. Lesson learned- don't try and run in snow.
Never washed a pair of running shoes. Or a car
I run round Dovestones, so it is mud and grit. If i don't completely submerge in the sink them after a wet run, there can be chunks of it inside.Never! What’s the point? On the next run they’ll just get covered in mud again..
